It’s a new year, but the games on the UK Game Sales Chart haven’t shifted all that much. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 starts the year off in the number one position. Not budging. Assassin’s Creed II moves up to the second position, but can it really dethrone MW2?

Nintendo games get a boost with Mario & Sonic at Olympic Winter Games, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus all rounding out the top 5.

It even appears that gamers are picking up the last Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare because it’s number 13 on the list.

The number one publisher to start the new year is Nintendo with 5 titles in the top 20.

It looks like the UK Game Sales charts are not going to budge through the gift giving holiday. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is still making money sitting at the top of the charts while the top five is rounded out by FIFA 10 (2), Wii Fit Plus (3), Wii Sports Resort (4), and Assassin’s Creed II (5). The top four basically shuffling position between themselves.

James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game enters the countdown at number 12. Probably because of the movie release.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks losing traction and falls from 12 to 18 this week.

Even though Zelda may have fallen a bit, Nintendo is still the publisher with the most titles on the sales chart going into the holiday season.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is still hanging on to the top spot even with Wii Sports Resort breathing down it’s neck. The Infinity Ward title has held the top spot and it seems like it may continue to do so throughout the holidays.

Assassin’s Creed II comes in at number 3 on the countdown and Wii Fit Plus moves up to number 4. FIFA 10 dropped three spots to number 5.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks enters at 12 and Left 4 Dead 2 is starting it’s rise up the charts from 14 to 13.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 continues to dominate in December over in the UK. Activision’s title is keeping Assassin’s Creed II (3), FIFA 10 (2), New Super Mario Bros. Wii (4), and Wii Sports Resort (5) at bay. But talk about Nintendo pressure as 3 Nintendo titles all moved closer to the top 5.

The top publisher this week is Nintendo with six titles in the top 20. We’ll see what happens when Zelda: Spirit Tracks comes out. FIFA 10 is trying to battle Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, but we’ll see if it can accomplish that goal next week.

Nothing seemed able to knock football out of the top spots of the UK Game Sales Charts, but two Nintendo titles pushed them down. Wii Fit Plus is now at the top spot after being at number 2 pushing Football Manager 2010 to 4th spot. While Wii Sports Resort blasted up from 10 to the third spot. Putting FIFA 10 at the second spot.

Dragon Age: Origins enters at number 5 and Tekken 6 drops two to number 10. Mario Kart Wii enters out of nowhere and Borderlands takes a huge drop from 9 to 15.

Nintendo has six titles in the top 20 for UK Sales. Using the revival of old titles like Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros: Brawl.

It looks like UK Gamers enjoy their “football” (soccer). Enjoy might be putting it lightly. They enjoy it so much that they also seem to love any video game that is on that subject matter. For about a month, the top spot in the UK Game Sales charts has been taken by a football game.

First it was Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 (now at 5), then it was FIFA 10 (3) and now SEGA moves into the top spot with Football Manager 2010. How can one play so many soccer games?

Tekken 6 enters the countdown at 8 and Wii Fit Plus enters in the number 2 spot. DJ Hero enters at number 20, which could be due to the cost. It also appears that our European friends have Eyepet already which enters at 18.

Both WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010 (11) and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (12) dropped six places. Making these titles the biggest drop on the countdown.

The countdown stays varied but Nintendo wins the publisher spot with 5 games on the countdown.

FIFA 10 lost it’s reign as the top spot in the UK Game Sales charts for last week. But it didn’t lose it to Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, or Borderlands, no it lost to Pro Evolution Soccer 2010. Those brits do love their soccer!

Forza Motorsport 3 entered the countdown at 2 and WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010 entered at 5. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves dropped from 2 to 6 and all Nintendo titles on the chart went down but are still there.

There are many different companies in the top 20 this week, but Nintendo pulls out the top publisher with 4 older games.

FIFA 10 scored another goal as it remained a UK favorite and sold enough to hold onto the top spot in the sales charts for last week. There was some competition with games brand new to the countdown like Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising (2), Scribblenauts (12), Star Wars: Clone Wars Republic Heroes (15), Wii Play (19), and Mario Strikers Charged Football (20).

The UK charts should be very interesting in the next few weeks as the onslaught of new games starts. The biggest drop was MySims Agents from 7 to 13. Gran Turismo gets an opposite boost from 12 to 7.

The most popular publisher is overwhelmingly Nintendo with 7 games in the top 20. It’s been a long time since one publisher has dominated that much. Out of the top 20 (for publisher) is Activision.

FIFA 10 took out the competition entering the UK countdown in the number one spot for game sales last week. It beat out pretty heavy competition with Professor Layton and Pandora’s box (2) and Halo 3: ODST (3).

While Wii Sports Resort doesn’t budge, MySims Agents climbs the charts from 16 to 7. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 goes the other way from 7 to 13.

EA has an impressive four titles on the busy game sales chart, but can’t beat Nintendo who holds the lead with five spots. Nintendo’s titles show no affects of slowing down or dropping out of the countdown.
