UK chart: PES dispenses with FIFA
Saints Row 2 features. Top 40 inside.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 has burst into the UK All-Formats Chart at number one this week, shoulder-charging genre rival FIFA 09 down to number two.
FIFA 09 maintains the bigger launch week of the pair, and the bulk of PES sales (58 per cent) fell to the PS3.
It was a different story for debutante Saints Row 2 at number three, however, which shifted a whopping 73 per cent of copies on Xbox 360.
The rest of the top 10 was unexciting: LEGO Batman at four, Wii Fit at five, Mario Kart Wii at six and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed at seven.
Then came Wii Play at eight, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 at nine, and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway rounded the list off at 10.
Elsewhere in the charts there was a re-entry for BioShock at 14 - bolstered by the launch of the PS3 version. And there were also reappearances for de Blob at 29, Mario Kart DS at 34, Ratatouille at 36, Assassin's Creed at 39 and Beijing 2008 at 40.
Both Samba and Pure fell ten places a piece, the former down from 21 to 31 and the latter tumbling from 23 to 33.
This week waves goodbye to Spore, Rock Band and Battlefield: Bad Company.
