Splinter Cells fast in the UK & Ireland
Tom Clancy's 'Splinter Cell' became the UK & Ireland's fastest selling Xbox title ever last week. The game sold in excess of an unprecedented 40,000 units in its launch weekend, going straight to the number one slot and smashing the previous record held by former Xbox favourite Halo. Splinter Cell also out performed new releases 'James Bond 007: Nightfire' and 'Unreal Championship' on Xbox. Sales of the Xbox were also boosted by a special offer including the Ubi Soft game. Splinter Cell is the latest release in Ubi Soft's Tom Clancy license series, which includes the franchises Rainbow Six, Rogue Spear, Ghost Recon and The Sum Of All Fears.Source: http://www.rte.ie
