Soul Calibur II has hit the number one spot on the UK software charts with the GameCube as the preferred console. Like in the US, the GameCube version of SC II has outsold the versions for other consoles in the UK too!

The GameCube sales account for 38 percent of last week's sales of the game. The PS2 and Xbox versions account for respectively 34 and 28 percent.

According to various sources, Soul Calibur II has also boosted the GameCube hardware sales 118 percent.

All in all this is very good news for Nintendo. Just imagine what all the other AAA titles released later this year can do for Nintendo.
