Activision and Infinity Ward's
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 topped UK sales charts for the sixth consecutive week and is the official Christmas No.1 in the territory, Chart-Track said Monday.
The week ended December 19 marked the sixth week in a row that the military shooter led UK charts. The FPS is Activision's biggest title for the year, grossing $550 million in its first week worldwide. Last month, Chart-Track said that the game sold 1.23 million units in the UK on the game's opening day.
EA Sports'
FIFA 10 was also a strong performer during Christmas week, capturing the number two spot, up from number five a week prior thanks to a 24 percent week-on-week rise in unit sales.
The top 10 UK games remained the same from the prior week, aside from some shuffling, meaning that four of the top 10 titles were Nintendo first party games. Below are the top 10 games on Chart-Track's all-platforms list, which lumps together unit sales of all versions of a given title.
