Released in the UK on March 13, 2009, Capcom's Resident Evil 5 has become the fastest selling game in the history of the survival horror franchise.

This week, Resident Evil 5 sits proudly on top of the Multi-Format Videogame charts in the UK and has become Capcom's biggest ever launch success in the country. The Xbox 360 version narrowly beat the PS3 version in terms of sales, amassing 55% of the total. Though no exact figures have been revealed, Chart Track claim that Resident Evil 5 has amassed more sales this week than the enitre top 10, which includes the likes of Killzone 2, Call of Duty World At War and last week's number one, Empire: Total War.
