Christmas number one!

Guess who...

Electronic Arts has claimed the Christmas number one spot for the fourth consecutive year, with FIFA 07 staying at the top of the All Formats charts.

Need for Speed: Carbon also remains at number two in the charts, proving EA has some of the most popular franchises during the busiest retail period of the year.

THQ's WWE Smackdown Vs RAW 2007 has climbed up the top ten to number three, boosted by the release of the PSP version of the game, while Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 6 slips one place to four.

Also dropping down the charts is Activision's Call of Duty 3 at number five, with the third EA title in the top ten, The Sims 2: Pets, holding at six.

Climbing one place is Epic and Microsoft's Xbox 360 exclusive Gears of War, with Midway's seasonal movie tie-in Happy Feet breaking into the top ten at number eight.

Two charts stalwarts round out the top ten, with LucasArts' Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy at number nine, and THQ's Cars at ten.
