FIFA 10 is the UK's second fastest selling game ever behind Grand Theft Auto IV, smashing FIFA 09's opening weekend by a fearsome 48 per cent.
Xbox 360 and PS3 sales of the football game are nearly neck-and-neck, at 48 per cent and 46 per cent respectively.
Last week's leader Halo 3: ODST drops to three, as DS delight Professor Layton and Pandora's Box holds strong at two. Need for Speed: Shift and Wii Sports Resort round out the top five.
Last Thursday's PSPgo launch has minimal impact, with Gran Turismo PSP at 12 the sole highlight. Other new releases to look for are Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 at 26 and Risen at 29.
Elsewhere, Aion holds the PC top spot but drops off the All-Formats top 40 altogether, and Killzone 2 enjoys budget popularity to rocket back in at 19.
Those keeping tabs on the battle of the bands will see Guitar Hero 5 settling at six while The Beatles: Rock Band fades from 13 to 21.

Congrats are in order. Glad to see that people are appreciating a truly brilliant game. And they've finally achieved their desperate goal of a Metacritic 90+, currently 91 on 360 and 92 on PS3. Just don't do a Konami now you've finally conquered both the press and the public, and keep on improving.

I doubt Gran Turismo PSP is there because of PSP-go. The theme download / voucher provided on registration of a PSP-go registration hasn't come through yet (at least not for me) - and apparently may take a month - so PSP-go owners are almost certainly the only PSP owners NOT to get Gran Tursimo yet!
Therefore I think it's more likely that GT PSP is at 12 due to existing PSP owners. |

Has Killzone 2 gone Platinum? It's nice, if a little odd, to see that one back in the charts.

Fletche: "could be the beginning of the end for the more mature games on the Wii"
I've always viewed the Wii as a family oriented platform, and an excellent one at that. Anyone who want mature games is gonna go XBox or PS3. Nice to see a little bounce for KZ2 and LBP, I'm guessing the PS3 Slim and Platinum are a factor... |

@Bealsy Not noticed the strange one when players values are supposed to be 80 as a CM but when played as one it shows up as 73 or so? Then when you swap round the team for a bit and without changing formation shuffle them back to the EXACT SAME POSITION they're suddenly at 80?
That one really grinds my gears. |

"Xbox 360 and PS3 sales of the football game are nearly neck-and-neck, at 48 per cent and 46 per cent respectively."
So presume Wii/DS/PS2/PSP/iPhone/PC make up the other 6%? Thought all of those combined would take a higher percentage of the total than that.

Why hasn't anyone made a football RPG? Where you level up by doing well at practice and at games. You'd have to work through the system and the end goal would be to reach Premier League. Sort of like a life simulator for a successful footballer!
Would be more fun than killing stuff at least. I'm sick of killing. |

Sort of like BAP: Seasons but padded out with boring bits? |

@JammyPez - I wonder what EA Sports thought when they saw little 14yr old Jimmy telling the world about how he "skord 15 golz agaynst Barca in 1 harf using fin-esse shot innit"
Translation - Hello there Mr FIFA, one has discovered a rather peculiar error when passing the time with your latest incarnation of the FIFA franchise. When shooting, I have found that simply by pressing the finesse button when shooting - from nearly anywhere on the pitch I might add - the opposition goalkeeper appears to go into some kind of zombie like trance upon where is incapable of saving a shot. Perhaps he is campaigning against Left 4 Dead 2? Your sincerely, Jimmy, 14yrs old. |

Couldn't agree more Fletche. All you wii owners bitching about no adult orientated games and don't go and buy them when they are released are complete gimps. Just finished dead space and really really enjoyed it (more so than the xbox version which I still quite liked). Now around the corner we have shattered memories which should be really good and muramasa watch them be reviewed well and still flop. People shouldn't hate the wii. They should hate plonkers who buy it and don't buy the software which, in effect is the reason this "generation" such a noob word sorry is turning out worse than gamecube in my opinion.

@Doctor_What: KZ2, LBP and the like are getting bundled with the Slim, which would explain their reappearance in the charts...

Haven't played Footballer of the Year but the closest I can remember is the Career mode in ISS 2000 on the humble N64. I sunk hours into that mode back in the day (and I certainly didn't spend more of my time trying to blag a WAG than break into the national team... ahem). Not wholly surprised by FIFA's performance though, but I am pleased that a quality game is selling well. Good stuff. |

Just a warning to anyone on the fence about Fifa 10 - it's currently riddled with bugs (which the EG didn't pick up on as no doubt they didn't connect to the Fifa servers).
Live Seasons has currently been taken down, Gameface makes you look like David Dickinson on a bad day if it works at all and Manager Mode has so many bugs it's going to take a long time to sift through them all. Hopefully these will all be patched / addressed (as most of the issues stem from server or database problems according to posts on the EA Fifa forums) but as it stands now it's a bit of a mess. |

P.S. I'd like to see games like this that rely on online features so heavily reviewed after launch Eurogamer. Not your fault that you didn't come across these things in the review but if you played and reviewed Fifa "as it is" now, I think you might consider knocking a point off the score.

I've Fifa 10 on the PS3 and, whilst I haven't seen too many 'bugs', the game does stutter a lot at some parts (replays, mostly, but sometimes during gameplay as well). It even froze dead, once, but I could still quit to XMB. Does anyone else get these crazy skipping/stuttering issues?
I should also add that it's a great game, I didn't notice much difference to Fifa 09 but good fun all the same. Apart from that eternally long splash screen cavalcade. Rooney has scored every time I've switched it on, but I'm hopeful that Lampard will chop him in two one of these days ...

"Nice to see KZ2 back in the race. "
"Race for what, exactly? And with whom?" Yeah. Anyone would think this is some sort of competitive market! |

Final nail in the coffin for the adult gaming hopes on the Wii - no sign of Dead Space : Extraction.
