PlayStation Vita launch title Uncharted: Golden Abyss has claimed top spot in the new UK all-format charts.
Another Vita exclusive, FIFA Football, scored second. It's worth noting that sales company Chart-Track does not count digital sales, meaning the games achieved their chart places based on boxed copies alone.

Freaking awesome! Also, seems like Rayman Origins got that bump (36 to 5) because of Vita, however it wasn't listed on their page as a Vita title. Same for Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom.

Uncharted and FIFA were heavily bundled with the Vita so it's no surprise they're top, combined with them being the 'biggest' games. Great news for the Vita though, although I think getting no.1 in the UK charts was the bare minimum so I don't wanna get carried away. Still, the influx of Vita software as a whole is promising and definitely points to good sales.
Infact I just looked at how the 3DS software did in it's launch week and it had SFIV at 6, Pilotwings at 8 and virtually nothing else in 2 days of sales. Even less games the week after. So although Vita had an extra day, it has absolutely tons more software there. So with that in mind, taking 3 of the top 4 is very very impressive imo.
Putting off buying my Vita for a few weeks now. Wanted it to play on various train and coach journeys I've got ahead of me for PHD interviews, but sort of realised if I want get all my research done (Researching cosmological inflation) as well as be ready for my various PHD interviews I'd have to dedicate the travelling time to reading :(. May buy it next week depending on how it all goes!

You are partially right because they only track phisical media, so I was very surprised by seeing all these games up there! I thought we wouldn't see many of them because there's people buying them on PSN :)
By the way, about Uncharted GA and Fifa being heavily bundled, were they bundled by Sony or the retailers? I'm not following the european market, to be honest =/ I'm very curious now.

Retail bundles, every Vita offer comes with either FIFA or Uncharted. A lot of the Ubisoft titles are retailer bundled too which is why Rayman is doing so well me thinks.
Wipeout is impressive at number 4 seeing as it really hasn't got any sort of retailer bundles and is a free digital download for most 3G purchasers.
