FIFA 11 smashes the charts to take the lead
Seriously, can any game stay in the number one spot for more than one week? First Halo: Reach and now F1 2010 only manage to put up a one week stay before losing the top spot before they get time to be comfy. To be fair though, with FIFA 11 getting huge amounts of praise and the huge fanbase it has, it was expected for it to become number one. Another piece of news that EA will be happy with is that from September 28th to October 2nd, EA announced that the FIFA 11 was sold in 2.6 million copies and made over $150 million in Europe and North America and that it’s sold 30 per cent more than FIFA 2010 did.
Compared to the previous weeks, it’s been a bit boring in the charts, with every game last week remaining in the charts with one exception. That exception is Take 2 and 2K Czech’s Mafia II (that’s a lot of two’s), which went from 8th position to 11th. It would have stayed in had it not been for one sneaky Tiger. That’s right, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 has for the second time, re-entered the charts. What is with your love/hate relationship with the Tiger golf gaming fans?
Apart from that, the best climber has been Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, which Activision will be happy has climbed into the top five, though as said last week, it would have probably hoped higher. Oh well, that’s them breaks. The worst drop happened to Civilization V, which went from 4th spot down to number 10. It’s likely that it will exit the charts next week. Or it could do a Prince of Persia and cling on for dear life. Yes Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands may be slipping but it’s still in there.
So chart predictions for next week anyone?
