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.

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.
