Bigger than the sales (pic: Capcom)



The spring sales couldn’t do anything to knock Resident Evil 4 from the top spot this week, as Gotham Knights makes a surprise re-entry.



Although there was nothing in the way of major new releases at retail last week, a number of spring sales at various retailers have had an impact on the chart, causing a 999% increase in sales for last year’s Gotham Knights .



Other more popular games, including Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, saw discounts at the same time but none of it was enough to knock Resident Evil 4 from its perch.



The remake’s sales fell by 69% in its second week, which is typical for a major title, and there’s now a good chance it’ll stay at number one next week, unless EA Sports PGA Tour on Friday is a bigger hit than expected.
