Sam Fisher the stealthy hero of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell published by Ubi Soft may like hiding in the shadows but you can't hide from his computer game which stormed into the record books last week by becoming the UK's fastest selling Xbox title ever on XboxTMvideo game system from Microsoft. Splinter Cell 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 and boosted sales of the Xbox console due to a bundle deal at retail.
