UK Top 40: Battlefield 3 denies Uncharted 3
Sonic scores tenth, GoldenEye lands 16th.
Battlefield 3 has clung to the top spot in the UK all format charts, denying PlayStation 3 exclusive Uncharted 3 a first place finish.
It's the first time a Battlefield game has survived a second week at the top, and it does so despite a 54 per cent drop in sales from last week.
Uncharted 3 sold 37 per cent more than Uncharted 2 to score the eleventh biggest PS3 launch ever.
Last week's other big releases fared less well. Sonic Generations squeaked a top ten finish, arriving in tenth. Activision's Bond remake GoldenEye Reloaded scored 16th, while Disney Universe was 25th.
Kinect title Rabbids Alive and Kicking and PS3 role-player Disgaea 4 failed to appear at all.
The rest of the top ten remains largely unchanged. Batman fell to fourth below FIFA 12, while Just Dance 3 holds firm in fifth.
Football Manager 2012, Forza 4, Zumba and Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure made up the rest of the top flight.
The full top 40 lies below.
