F1 2010 knocks Halo: Reach from top of UK chart

Codemasters' racing simulator F1 2010 has knocked Halo: Reach into second spot in the UK charts, selling more last week than both Bungie's Xbox 360 exclusive and Capcom's latest, Dead Rising 2, combined.

Halo: Reach saw an 80 per cent drop in sales last week, indicating a rush of sales to gamers who saw it as a day-one purchase. 2K's Civilization V joined Dead Rising 2 and F1 2010 as the third new entry in the top four, jumping straight in at four as one of two PC-only releases in the chart.

Last week's number two game, Sony's Move-enabled Sports Champions, dropped down to fifth, with Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock debuting at sixth.

Square-Enix's Final Fantasy XIV takes tenth spot in the chart, despite only having been released as a PC special edition last week, with the regular PC edition coming this week. The PS3 version of the MMO is due in March, 2011.

Err Civilization 4?



This list is odd, Prince of Persia, which i thought was a flop is in the top 10?? and Mass Effect 2 which i also thought would have been dead by now (Jan release) is in the top 20??



Move and move games bombed bad



Not suprised one bit. At my ASDA, we sold 52 copies on 360, and 48 on PS3 on day 1!!!



F1 2010 got those sales for being a great game released during the most exciting F1 season climax in recent history. Deserves it.

Sports Champions holding at 5th - not too shabby...
