UK Charts: FIFA blocks Lego

By Matt Martin Published 10 October, 2006

07 edition of EA's football series maintains grip on top slot.

Electronic Arts' FIFA '07 continues to demonstrate its retail staying power by remaining the top-selling title in the UK All Formats software charts on its second week of release.

Although sales have dropped by 29 per cent, the football favourite has still managed to sell more than the seven next best-selling all formats titles combined, while the rest of the chart has shuffled around in a week without any new entries in the top ten.

Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy has fought its way back up the charts to number two, while Tiger Woods PGA Tour '07 stubbornly holds the number three position for the third week running.

Eidos' Just Cause continues to perform well at number four, while Square Enix's RPG Kingdom Hearts II stays at number five.

THQ's movie tie-in Cars bumps back up the charts to number six, overtaking acclaimed strategy title Company of Heroes at seven, while Dr Kawashima's Brain Training continues to bother the top ten at eight.

Codemasters' soccer sim LMA Manager 2007 sits at number nine, while Bizarre Creations' Project Gotham Racing 3 breaks back into the top ten on the back of a Xbox 360 promotional bundle.

    Lots of people are buying the new 360 bundle then. Good news.

    And first \o/

    Another thing, just a wondering, does a publisher get to choose what versions of games get bundled together in the charts? For example, FIFA RTWC on 360 never featured in the chart on its own, its sales were included with FIFA 06, despite being a different game. I expect when FIFA 07 on 360 comes out it will also have its figures thrown in with the current versions despite being completely different. Yet I'm pretty sure Nintendogs never got to number 1, because all three versions were listed seperately so they had three games that were, to all intents and purposes, identical, in the chart at any given time. If they're on the same platform do they have to be listed seperately or what? Cos they're far more alike to each other than the 360/current gen FIFAs are.

    "EG, you keep reminding us of how popular FIFA 07 is. How a bout a freakin' review?"

    Meh, pretty much every man and his football wife has bought a copy, don't really need a review to tell me its bloody good (and I'm a 5yr pro evo veteran). I bought it saying it'll be back to the store in 5 days....2 weeks later and its still spinning in my PS2. Now PES 6 better be good or its going back...!

    BTW: My money is on EA holding off review copies to limit damage from bad reviews

    Is this really shocking?

    I mean... REALLY?

  • PuffyPipe #7 5 years ago

    Good to see that the Simpsons:Hit & Run is moving up the charts again!

    It would be a shame for this 3 year old tittle to out of the top 40.

  • EmiliasHorse #8 5 years ago

    If the 360+PGR3 bundle is 10th in October I wonder what the Xmas sales position will be.

  • antena #9 5 years ago

    How ironic that like 6 games out of that 40 are good games.

    Ironic or stupid consumers?
    I vote for stupid consumers.

    Fifa 07 IS better than other FIFAs but really, that's not saying much.
