UK - Wii Fit Plus Jumps to First Place; Dragon Age: Origins Debuts in 5th

11/9/09


Wii Fit Plus jumped back up to 1st place on the UK software sales chart (with sales up 3%), followed by EA’s flagship FIFA 10 (sales down 13%). Wii Sports Resort moved up to 3rd, thanks to the best Wii hardware sales of the year with the new White Wii Sports Resort bundle.

The move caused Sega’s new Football Manager 2010 to be pushed down to 4th place on the chart. The best newcomer this week is the critically acclaimed Dragon Age: Origins, the latest RPG epic from developer BioWare. The latest Ratchet & Clank offering from developer Insomniac, A Crack in Time, debuted at 22nd on the chart.

Nintendo’s seen some of its flagship titles move up the charts recently, like Mario Kart Wii, while some of its other popular franchises, like Super Smash Bros. and the original Wii Fit, have slipped to the middle of the charts. Some older titles that reappear in the top 40 this week include Ghostbusters: The Video Game and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.

Sega’s Football Manager 2010 took the top spot this week, the third football game in a row to be the best-seller in the UK. The latest in Sega’s franchise managed to outsell Wii Fit Plus, Nintendo’s own sequel to its popular fitness game. Surprisingly, the heavily promoted DJ Hero from Activision Blizzard debuted at number 20.

More football games abound in the Top 10, including FIFA 10 (sales up 3%), and Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 (sales down 54%). Grand Theft Auto Episodes: Liberty City debuts at number 6, and Tekken 6 makes its first appearance at number 8.

The Top 10 has been reshuffled, with some titles dropping out completely, including WWE Smackdown vs. RAW 2010, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Need for Speed: Shift, and Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. In just a few weeks, Brutal Legend has slipped from number 17 to number 36 on the chart.
