GfK ChartTrack reports that Blizzard’s StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty has entered the All Formats All Prices UK video game chart at No.1, becoming the first PC exclusive to hit the No.1 spot this year.

The highly anticipated sequel sold more in its first week than the original game has in its lifetime (boxed product only).

There are no other new entries this week so it’s all pretty much as we were, just shifted down a place.

The summer draught looks set to continue next week too, with only movie tie-in, The Last Airbender, likely to have any chance of a Top 20 place.
