FIFA topples Call of Duty for a second time

Electronic Arts’ FIFA 09 has dethroned Call of Duty: World at War from the top of the UK Charts for a second time running, despite sales of the popular sports entry dropping by 41 percent.

Meanwhile, sales of Activision’s popular shooter also hit a considerable slump, dropping 50 percent, though it still managed to fend off Need for Speed Undercover snapping at its heels at number three.

On the flip side, Guitar Hero: World Tour received a considerable spike in sales, climbing from seventh to fourth place, while Ubisoft’s Far Cry 2 resurfaced in the top ten at seven.

Needless to say, expect this game of cat and mouse between EA and Activision Blizzard to continue for the foreseeable future – that is, until the likes of Killzone 2 and Resident Evil 5 muscle in on the action.
