UK Sales Chart – Week ending 17th October
FIFA gets a hat-trick this week, as the footy favourite maintains a third week at the top of the charts. This is despite another severe drop in sales of 54%. However, with the week one sales being so high, FIFA 10 has already sold over a million units in the UK, and did it in half the time it took FIFA 09.

PS3 exclusive Uncharted 2 debuts at the No.2 spot, thanks to rave reviews. It was comfortably the bestselling PS3 game this week, and has done far better than the original Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, which peaked at No.22 in the charts back in 2007.
There are three other new releases this week, all within the top 10. Nintendo-exclusive Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games at No.5, Tim Schafer’s metal-infused Brütal Legend at No.7 and Fallout 3’s Game of the Year Edition at No.10 (which includes all 5 downloadable content packs.)
The biggest climber this week is by far Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which for some reason is experiencing something of a resurgence. After only having re-entered the Top 40 last week, Brawl soars up 21 places to end up at No.12.
The biggest loser in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, dropping 17 places to end up at No.39. Only a month ago it debuted at No.7 in the charts.
