@zayanora: Italy and Germany aren't most of european countries (and you can use any criteria you want). X360 version won in UK, France, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden and Australia.
You say PS2 version outsold X360 4 times? Any link?
@Tyrannical: Well, they do bother with DS version that sells even worse.

Would this format be better for UK?

It would be better to have the previous rank before the current one, like this :
| (1) | 4 |
WII | WII FIT | (NINTENDO) |
It feels more natural with our traditional left to right -temporal- reading.
Otherwise, seems fine to me.
And EA sport's division really need to rethink its strategy toward the Wii. At least the marketing. I mean, it's not like the Wii audience is averse to sport : otherwise, amongst the top sellers, there wouldn't be such games as 'Wii Fit', 'Big Beach Sports', 'Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games', 'Sports Island' and of course 'Wii Sport'. And yet, 'FIFA 09: All Play' is selling bad in every single country present in Europe, even France and Netherlands.
If the Wii version of a game like 'The Force Unleashed', where the platform is clearly at a disadvantage, can manage to hold so well against its HD counterparts, there's no reason that a game that only consist in 22 guys and 2-3 referees, running with a ball on grass can't sell better. The formula worked already for the PS2 (and is still working), it should work for the Wii too.
France:
