UK Charts: FIFA 10 has second biggest launch ever photo

FIFA 10 has launched in the UK and, unsurprisingly, it's shot straight to the top of the chart. Not only that, it's become the second most successful videogame of all time in the country, beaten only by the launch of Grand Theft Auto IV last year.

Halo 3: ODST has been demoted to number three, leaving Professor Layton in its second slot. Otherwise, there's nothing major to report. All the usual suspects are in attendence, since the British public apparently isn't sick of Wii Sports or Guitar Hero yet. Hit the jump for the list.

  1. FIFA 10
  2. Professor Layton & Pandora's Box
  3. Halo 3: ODST
  4. Need for Speed: Shift
  5. Wii Sports Resort
  6. Guitar Hero 5
  7. MySims Agents
  8. Colin McCrae: DiRT 2
  9. Mario Kart Wii
  10. Batman: Arkham Asylum
  11. Wii Fit
  12. Gran Turismo
  13. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
  14. WET
  15. Professor Layton & the Curious Village
  16. Call of Duty: World at War
  17. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10
  18. IL2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey

@Velentin Seleznyov I was about to accuse you of not really being a fan, using that idiotic spelling of the word 'Football' but then I noticed your rather Russian looking name and I realised that of course you support Chelski....

So did they lose the game, win the game, or tie. Or does it really matter because they'll riot anyway.

I hope those are mostly PS3 and XBOX360 sales. FIFA for PC has been a major piece of shit in comparison to PES for some years now.

FIFA would be great for the PC even though Soccer sucks and baseball is much better.

To be fair to the Mancs, wasn't that trouble in Rome started by the Roma fans?

Fuck being fair to the Mancs though. Hate 'em...

Football rocks. Baseball is bollocks.

UK Football makes most sorts of criminal acts seem like a game of Chutes And Ladders.

What? Even though things (football violence) are undeniably much better now than they used to be (unless you're in Italy)?
