Call of Duty: World at War debuted in the UK charts at number one last week and is still going strong. Holding on to the top slot, Activision's latest gravy boat isn't looking to run aground soon.
Treyarch's take on the Call of Duty series has managed to keep FIFA 09 in the second position, followed by Mario Kart Wii. The top five breaks down like this:
1. Call of Duty: World at War
2. FIFA 09
3. Mario Kart Wii
4. Need for Speed: Undercover
5. Wii Fit
As Christmas rolls around, we can see that games like Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii are popping back into the high chart positions. Nintendo will obviously be having a great holiday period, but I'm interested to see how the mix of chart-toppers like Gears 2 and "casual" titles like Lips will bode for Microsoft.
As for Sony ... well, there's always next year.

Yeah, I know... it might not sell that much. We'll see though.
Anyone who owns a PS3 and not LBP is a time waster.
I cant see Resistance going in the top 5, id say a number 9 placement at best....
:P
Thanks from Germany for putting the yankee in his place.
Also, the day will come when the unique users on Xbox-Live will have CoD4 back on the top spot.
And that's the only indicator I will use to judge the success of a game because it shows how much the gamers like the title.
