UK Charts: UFC takes Wii Fit down, Octagon style photo

Wii Fit's reign of terror is finally over! After six weeks of first place tyranny, the cruel ruler of the United Kingdom videogame sales chart as been torn from its throne and replaced with a new monarch -- one that's actually quite good. With UFC 2009: Undisputed taking the top slot, it's all change with the UK Charts this week. We have quite a few new things to talk about, and I am so, so happy.

Wii Fit is not even at number two. It's been batted right down to fourth place, subjugated not just by UFC, but by Pokémon Platinum at number two, and EA Sports Active at number three. Yes, Wii Fit might be on the slide, but the British public will replace it with yet another fitness placebo to convince themselves they're doing something right with their lives. 

The usual suspects round out the rest of the chart. Yet more FIFA, more World at War, more My Fitness Coach. Still, it's great to see three new titles debuting in the top three slots. I'm so sick of writing about Wii Fit. Hit the jump for the full rundown.

  1. UFC 2009: Undisputed
  2. Pokemon Platinum
  3. EA Sports Active
  4. Wii Shit
  5. FIFA 09
  6. X-Men Project Origins: Wolverine
  7. Wii Play
  8. Mario Kart Wii
  9. My Fitness Coach
  10. Call of Duty: World at War
  11. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
  12. Professor Layton & the Curious Village
  13. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
  14. Bionic Commando
  15. The Mystery of the Mummy
  16. Brain Training
  17. The Godfather II
  18. Resident Evil 5
  19. Battlestations: Pacific
  20. Rhythm Paradise

Wii Fit is being beaten by a Wii Fit clone. People really are idiots.

Whoa, Wii Shit?! You get a gold star sticker and an extra cookie at snack time for your reporting skills. Maybe we'll even put that one up on the fridge.

I'm surprised a good game is at the top, probably has more to do with the fact that's about violent angry men slapping each other rather than quality.

Bwahahaha WiiShit.

jolly good show old boy.


I personally made sure to help knock Wiishit off the top spot, by purchasing UFC - and what a purchase - brilliant game.

Where I work we sold out of UFC on xbox by midday, by which point we had only sold about 4 Pokemon Platinums. Wish i had the pennies for the UFC game. I don't think Platinums sales were helped much by the announcement a few days earlier of Gold and Silver remakes being made.

UFC is a very good game.

Annoying that the Computer can Jab you once and then somehow get you in full mount in the space of 0.14 seconds, But a very very good game. Well worth the Purchase.

Anyone able to break free of a full naked choke? - apart from hitting the PS button and rage quitting before it saves?

The one downfall i find of UFC, submissions are too hard to escape, my palm is sore from all the stick spinning.

Horray for the UFC! Looks like it takes a fighting game to beat the crap out of the competition.

Pro fighters aren't "angry", Scroll.

I really look forward to the charts each week, if only to see what picture Jim picks!

As long as a game is above Wii Fit, I honestly don't care.

That is just so, so sad that you people are preoccupied with Wii Fit's position in the list.

Wii Shit? Now that sounds like a game I could get behind. Or get on.
