Simcity has topped the UK's first official PC download chart.

The chart is the first to track sales of downloaded PC games. It is compiled by UK trade association UKIE and data firm Ipsos.

Five charts were published for March. One is a hybrid digital/physical chart, with another two splitting the hybrid chart into boxed sales and downloads.

The fourth and fifth chart revenues from full game downloads and those of expansion packs.

UKIE has said that while the data isn't a full representation of all digital game sales, it hopes that releasing the data will encourage those currently holding out to take part.

Unlike physical sales charts, the digital charts take data directly from publishers and developers themselves.
