The Sims 3 enters the UK all-formats Chart at number one this week, claiming the fourth biggest opening weekend for a PC game here - behind the two World of Warcraft expansions and Championship Manager 4.
Newcomer Red Faction: Guerrilla pursues at two, but all other débutantes miss the top 10. Those are FUEL at 12, Sacred 2 (on consoles) at 15, Star Ocean: The Last Hope at 18 and Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum at 27.
The Wii re-release of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat only manages 10 in the Wii-specific chart where Punch-Out!!, incidentally, falls to 12. The latter has yet to break into the All-Formats top 40 after three weeks on sale. Another new Nintendo game, Walk With Me! Do You Know Your Walking Routine? also misses an All-Formats top 40 spot, entering at nine in the DS platform chart.
Elsewhere, inFamous, Guitar Hero: Metallica and Virtua Tennis 2009 keep pace in the top 10 at six, eight and nine respectively.
Also, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is outselling World at War, and we notably wave bye bye to Bionic Commando and The Godfather II - perhaps to never see them again.
