Ubisoft’s Just Dance holds on to the number 1 spot on the UK’s All Formats Chart for a second week in a row, despite a 33% drop in sales and fighting off competition from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 which moves into second place (-10%) ahead of Wii Fit Plus at number 3 (-17%).
In so doing Just Dance becomes the first Ubisoft title since the original Assassin’s Creed to retain the top spot for more than a week. Last week the title broke records, claiming the highest ever sales for a game in the second week of the year. This week the only game to sell better in week 3 is World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade from 2007.
However, slow sales and few new releases mean that the Top 10 is made up largely of titles not unfamiliar with top spots. Only three different publishers feature in the Top 10 this week, with Nintendo dominating once again with no fewer than four titles.
Wii Sports Resort sticks it out at number 5 (-12%) while New Super Mario Bros. Wii (-12%) and Mario Kart Wii (-12%) re-enter the Top 10 at numbers 7 and 10, up four and two places respectively. James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game climbs one place to number 8 (-23%) and Assassin’s Creed II finishes in ninth (-20%), also up one spot.
EA’s Army of Two: The 40th Day holds on to fourth place (-16%) in its second week on the chart, but Darksiders from THQ drops 48% in sales to finish at number 11, down from last week’s debut at number 6. FIFA 10 is at number 6. Capcom’s Dark Void is new at number 33 but its interesting to note that no Top 40 title gains sales this week.
