FIFA 11 scores UK number one

There are no surprises at the top of the UK All-Formats Top 40 this week as EA Sports' FIFA 11 storms to the summit.

The game even displaces FIFA 10 from number three in the all-time biggest launches list, although Modern Warfare 2 and Grand Theft Auto IV remain the first and second biggest, for the record.

According to compilers GfK Chart-Track, FIFA 11's launch was 21 per cent heftier than FIFA 10's last year, and while Xbox 360 remains most punters' format of choice for the game the gap in growth isn't that great - 360 sales are up 26 per cent year on year for the first week, while PS3 sales are up 23 per cent.

Elsewhere it looks like everyone else decided to keep out of FIFA's way, so there are no other new releases to speak of, just a bit of musical chairs among recent launches and the perennial sellers.

That means F1 2010 holds on to number two with sales down nearly half on its launch week, while Dead Rising 2 sticks at number three with a quarter drop in sales.

Halo: Reach slips two places to number four with a 45 per cent drop in sales, but Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock moves up to fifth despite a 13 per cent dip.

Those titles are followed by Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11, no doubt buoyed by advertising to coincide with the Ryder Cup; Sports Champions; Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, which continues to benefit from discounting; Toy Story 3 and Civilization V to round off the top 10.
