GfK ChartTrack reports that Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell: Conviction – released only on Xbox 360 – has entered the All Formats All Prices video game chart at No.1, giving the publisher its fifth top spot of the year.

Ubisoft’s Just Dance is kicked down a place to No.2, but gives the publisher is first ever one/two double in the chart.

Rockstar Games’ GTA: Episodes from Liberty City surges back into the Top 10 at No.3 thanks to the release of the double pack on both PS3 and PC, which means EA’s Bad Company 2 is demoted to No.4. Wii Fit Plus is up one place to No.5, while Just Cause 2 slides three places to No.6.

Look out for strong new entries from a strongly marketed Monster Hunter Tri and Dead to Rights: Retribution. Square Enix’s Nier is also a possible Top 20 contender.
