Street Fighter IV batters competition to lead the UK all-formats chart this week.
The Capcom brawler shifts 53 per cent of copies on PlayStation 3, leaving only 47 per cent on Xbox 360. A d-pad preference, perhaps.
That new entry turfs Wii Fit down to two, despite the latter selling 20 per cent more copies this week.
Newcomer and PC-exclusive Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II follows at three. The Relic RTS also knocks Football Manager off of the PC-specific throne.
Below, animated series tie-in Ben 10: Alien Force jumps from 13 to four, trailed by FIFA 09 at five and Call of Duty: World at War at six.
SEGA Mega Drive: Ultimate Collection enters at seven, ahead of Mario Kart Wii at eight, Wii Play at nine and F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin at 10.
Other new entries this week are the Xbox 360-exclusive RACE Pro at 13, and 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand at 22, which must be a little disappointing for THQ.

LBP has been in the top 40 since release tho, so it must be shifting some good numbers, im sure with a PS3 price cut it would race near the top of the chart again.

The d-pad on the PS3 is still shocking to use though, no matter how much better than the xbox pad it is.

@ Johnny
What makes you say that?! I think the PS3 has an excellent d-pad. I would like to see 50 pence do well, if only because I want Swordfish Studios to prosper. I'm still waiting on Cold Winter 2!! |

Do you play as Ken all the time? That will probably help. God I hate people who always play as Ken. |

I just doesn't work for me. My half build custom stick is currently doing a better job of letting me peform specials and ultras and the joystick is not even fastened to the board behind it ;) The PS3 pad is pretty good in most cercumstances, but in the heat of battle, it seems to let me down too much. Am I putting poor SFIV skills down to my pad? Maybe. Does a bad workman blame his tools? Certainly ;) |

The 360 pad is surprisingly good for SFIV, I've been genuinely impressed with how competent it is.
