Wow great news for the franchise and for Cold Iron, great job guys! :o

Yeah I'm pumped for them, they seem like such a modest humble team you can't help but root for them - the game has far surpassed my (albeit low) expectations so it's a nice little moment in time for Aliens fans.

So this is a retail "Boxed Chart" from the U.K.

I'm unfamiliar with the terminology, but I'm reading this as a ranking of UK retail physical "boxed" sales ranking only and doesn't reflect or combine with digital sales, correct?

Yeah, that's right. Still a big deal though. Even though I ordered my physical copy from eBay, I checked about 4 or 5 different supermarkets to grab a copy for my brother on release day, and not one had a copy (because they weren't selling it).

One of the articles suggests it wasn't widely sold on the high street here in the U.K. so Game and specialist internet retailers must have had a field day.

No it's cool, don't get me wrong. And my dream is it's actually #1 in worldwide because that would mean more Alien games with bigger budgets!  That's why your topic title at first got me exited. "Aliens Fireteam Elite No.1 Bestselling Game"!  Woot!  But then I read the chart.... aww... just UK... and aww just physical. :laugh:

I know digital sales comprises something crazy like 85% of all video game sales, so we'll have to keep our fingers crossed and wait for that data.

I'll cross my fingers that the sale numbers are good all around!

No, you're right, I kinda riffed off the subject headers of the articles and was excited to slap a big "NO 1" in the title no matter the context  ;D

I'm still really happy with the news like we all are, though I expect the digital sales will have it finishing more towards the middle of the charts (perhaps lower).

EDIT: modified the title

Was #2 on Steam charts for the week if I'm not mistaken.

I've been playing since launch and haven't matched with single random. They really need crossplay or a quick join feature.

Some Old Dude

That's good. Hopefully it can jumpstart another attempt at Isolation 2 or at least another more involved AAA level game.

This is the same chart that Colonial Marines got second on.
