Activision is enjoying the benefits of movie cross-promotion with this week's UK All Formats number one, as sales of Spider-Man 3 jump 26 per cent in its second week at the top, GamesIndustry.biz is reporting.

Electronic Arts' Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars has leapt back up the charts following release on the Xbox 360, from number 20 to number two, nudging Nintendo's Wii Play down to number three.

Discounting has boosted sales of Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 6, which jumps up the charts from number 35 to number four, with EA's FIFA 07 also climbing to number five.

505 Games break into the top ten with Cooking Mama for the DS at number six, while Square Enix's Final Fantasy III takes the number seven position and Sony's latest SingStar Pop Hits sits at number eight.

Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion falls to number nine this week, while EA's Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 is at number ten.

Is not surprised... how many formats is this on???

It would however be interesting to see the break down of how many sold on which format.

I am always impressed when system exclusives make it to the top spot in the all formats chart as the competition is so strong from multi format releases.

God knows why anyone is buying Spiderman 3, from all the reviews it looks like its terrible. A bit like the abortion of the film it's based on (Emo Peter?? Dance number??)

The EG review said it improved over many aspects of Spiderman 2... And Spiderman 2 was awesome!

Give the game a couple of hours and it sinks it's hooks into you. It's addictive as hell and fun to boot. Don't discount it based on some average reviews. If you like GTA/Just Cause/Crackdown and want a superhero game to tie you over, it's a cracking little game, just don't expect anything revolutionary from it (and preparaed to get a tad frustrated in a couple of parts)

"PlayStation 2 units account for 73 per cent of sales, while Xbox 360 makes up 25 per cent of sales for the movie tie-in."

Actually considering there are roughly twelve times the number of PS2s as 360s I think it's quite encouraging that the 360 can sell a third of what the PS2 can do.
