Dragon Ball Z bounds into UK top ten

It would appear that Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z’s mediocre reviews haven’t harmed sales – the brawler has managed to enter the UK chart at a respectable #10. It’s at #7 in both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 charts, and #1 in the PS Vita chart. This just goes to show how popular …
