Despite seeing a 52% dip in sales, FIFA 07 continues to hold strong at the top of the All Formats chart. The game is currently slightly behind the sales of FIFA 06, but there’s still the release of the Xbox 360 version on October 27 to bolster the numbers.
Scarface: The World is Yours debuts at No.2 and moves Lego Star Wars II down a place to No.3. Eidos’ all out action title, Just Cause, holds at No.4 and EA’s Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 slips to No.5, but has the Xbox 360 release to look forward to on October 27. The second highest new entry comes from Championship Manger 2007 at No.9, in turn kicking LMA Manager 2007 down to No.15. Microsoft’s Flight Simulator X also makes a solid start, entering the chart at No.19.
As predicted, Open Season’s movie release sees the video game propel up the chart, now residing at No.17, and Vivendi’s World of Warcraft makes a chart re-entry at No.33. THQ’s Company of Heroes takes a second week dive and falls 11 places from No.7 down to No.18.
As is the case at this time of year, each week brings with it a host of new titles all expected to perform well. This week’s big hitters include Battlefield 2142, Destroy All Humans! 2, Football Manager 2007, Power Stone Collection, The Sims 2 Pets and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Double Agent. It’s hard to pick a winner, but you’d be a fool not to back the heavyweight that is The Sims 2.
