FIFA 10 -- the
Madden of Europa -- had the most successful "all formats" launch since
Grand Theft Auto IV in the UK, according to
Chart Track. First week sales of the footie fiesta grew by nearly 48 percent over its predecessor's opening week a year ago. This was the highest-selling launch of a
FIFA game ever, with the Xbox 360 generating 48 percent of sales, PS3 46 percent, and the remaining formats making up six percent.
Professor Layton and Pandora's Box (the
Diabolical Box in the States)
held onto the number two spot from the week prior, while
Halo 3: ODST sales dropped 75 percent to the third spot, after holding last week's crown.
