EA scores with FIFA World Cup on UK charts
2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa kicked off to a mighty fine start on the UK all-formats chart this week. Of course, the real news would have been had the footie franchise not scored the top spot during its launch week. Super Street Fighter IV also enjoyed a solid premiere in second place. And, lest you think that the UK had somehow lost the urge to shake its groove thing, the Wii-exclusive Just Dance slipped a mere 5 percent to third from its silver spot last week.
Sam Fisher took a terrible tumble from first to fourth this week, with Splinter Cell: Conviction experiencing a 37 percent drop in sales. Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, which rounds out the top five thanks to its PS3 and PC release a few weeks back, saw a 32 percent drop in sales. Yes, Just Dance is an unstoppable beast, with exasperating stamina that rivals that of a chav on an IV drip of Red Bull. Check out the complete UK top 10 after the break.

Just Cause 2 grapples to top of UK sales chart
In true revolutionary fashion, Just Cause 2 took the top spot on the UK all-formats sales chart last week. The sandbox title that’s more fun when you ignore your objectives beat out Pokémon SoulSilver and HeartGold, which fought to the second and fourth spots, respectively.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 kept on the pressure in third, while the unstoppable Just Dance took fifth. Kratos fell down the charts, like he tumbled out of the good graces of Mt. Olympus, as God of War III went from first to seventh. Check out the complete UK top 10 sales list after the break.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is new king of UK sales charts
It’s debatable whether all the server crashing this past week was a symptom of Battlefield: Bad Company 2’s success, but the game is certainly an explosive hit on the UK’s Chart-Track all-formats chart. The multiplayer-centric shooter, which we’ve been thoroughly enjoying, outsold the original Bad Company’s launch week numbers almost 3 to 1. According to Chart-Track, it is the “best ever launch for any game released this early in the year.” Interestingly, 53 percent of BC2 sales were on the Xbox 360, followed by 31 percent and 16 percent on the PS3 and PC, respectively. For each individual format, the game topped its chart.
Of course, lurking in the corner was Just Dance. The game will not go away and continues to stay in the top three week after week, after week. Last week’s top game, Heavy Rain, slipped down to fourth and the battle of Aliens vs. Predator held onto third. Cehck out the full top ten after the break.
