Fifa 10 holds off Uncharted 2's UK launch day sales

Fifa 10 holds off an Uncharted 2 onslaught.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves fails to top the UK All Formats Chart this week, with Fifa mania holding off the PlayStation 3 exclusive.

There's a number of reasons for this. The game only launched in the UK on Friday, so only had one day to chart (this weeks charts ended on 17th October) and unlike Fifa 10, the game has only been released on one platform.

This shows itself in the fact that Uncharted 2 is the top seller for individual formats, beating out Fifa 10 on both Xbox 360 and PS3. The game's prequel, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, only managed to reach number 22 in the UK All Formats charts in 2007, showing the extent of the sequel's success.

We should get a better idea of Uncharted 2's sales in next week's charts, when the game has enjoyed its launch weekend and a full seven days of sales.

Sales of Fifa 10 fell 54 per cent, but has now managed to sell over one million units in only three weeks on sales in the UK.

Brutal Legend débuts in seventh place, with Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition in tenth.
