Week ending the 28/dec/2008

No release this week (it wouldn't make sense, anyway, to release a game 3 day before christmas). That doesn't help me to find a good title.

The sales might be slightly down compared to the previous week, due to the 25 (thursday) being a holiday in the majority of the European countries (though it won't show in these position charts).

There's a possibility that no chart might be release this week, or very late, due to the festivities.

UK

Activision Blizzard rounds off the year with ‘Call of Duty: World at War’ reclaiming No1 ahead of EA’s ‘FIFA 09’ at No2 and ‘Need for Speed: Undercover’ at No3.

Nintendo has both No4 with ‘Mario Kart Wii’ and No5 with ‘Wii Play’. Eidos’ ‘Tomb Raider: Underworld’ moves up three places to No6, Activision Blizzard’s ‘Guitar Hero: World Tour’ moves up four places to No7 followed by ‘Quantum of Solace’ at No8. Sega completes the Top 10 with ‘Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games’ moving up to No9 and ‘Sonic Unleashed’ jumping ten places to No10.

weird charts.... Wiifit must be sold out, most Wii titles climb, Gears 2 must have had some sales or bundling. edit wow, just notice Wiimusic fell off the face of the earth? Supply? It must be. Same with WiiFit.

http://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p/software/uk/latest/index_test.jsp&ct=110030

check out CoD WaW up 5 spots (legs?)

Also AC seems to be bounding.

Gears 2 was already bundled, so it can't be that. IDK what it is.

LBP still gracing the top 10. w00t.

Resistance 2 is falling off though.

Lego Indi and Kung Fu Panda are virtually unchanged -- the 360 sales are probably flat compared to the prev. week.

Chart-Track's news (just a short summary of the All Formats Chart) :

Activision Blizzard rounds off the year with ‘Call of Duty: World at War’ reclaiming No1 ahead of EA’s ‘FIFA 09’ at No2 and ‘Need for Speed: Undercover’ at No3.

Nintendo has both No4 with ‘Mario Kart Wii’ and No5 with ‘Wii Play’. Eidos’ ‘Tomb Raider: Underworld’ moves up three places to No6, Activision Blizzard’s ‘Guitar Hero: World Tour’ moves up four places to No7 followed by ‘Quantum of Solace’ at No8. Sega completes the Top 10 with ‘Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games’ moving up to No9 and ‘Sonic Unleashed’ jumping ten places to No10.

xbox360 (15 games ) and wii (12 games ) dominate the U.K charts.
