‘Skyrim’ Dominates UK Christmas Charts. Awesome.

I don’t know why I feel pumped and proud that Skyrim is crushing it on the UK charts, but I am. I know it’s another huge installment of a huge franchise, but seeing it trounce more rote experiences like Uncharted 3 and Modern Black Fare 3: Covert Operations gives me a tickle in the taint.

Joystiq:

Skyrim rested high atop the UK charts last week, breaking an eight year stint by EA and Activision. Bethesda’s massive RPG occupied the top spot during week 51 — dubbed the “Christmas Chart” by Chart-Track. Take-Two’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City owned the chart in 2002, prior to EA’s Medal of Honor: Rising Sun and Activision’s Call of Duty franchise.

Just Dance 3 came in about 15,000 units behind Skyrim. Followers of the charts can probably predict what’s coming in the new year, as the Just Dance series has been a sleeping giant that rises once the holidays are over for the past two years.

Well done!
