Here is the press release from the Nival Interactive site:

"Nival Interactive announces that Heroes of Might and Magic V made it to the top of British charts in the PC Full Price category in the first week of sales!

Released on May 19th, Heroes of Might and Magic V has already become a bestseller in Great Britain according to ChartTrack statistics. This achievement is especially overwhelming considering the fact that the results of week sales were summarized May 20th, the day after Heroes of Might and Magic V was released in Europe."

When consoles are taken into consideration, Heroes drops to the 33th position. But that's the state of the gaming industry today. Congratulations to Nival and Ubisoft, but also to all the fan sites who helped to generate some hype.
