UK Video Game Charts: PES 2011 Crushed by FIFA 11

The Great Footy War of 2010 was waged this last week, and a victor has been declared. Despite the effort and promise of Konami's latest Pro Evolution Soccer title, EA Sports' FIFA 11 has held on to the top spot of the UK chart despite a 63% drop in sales.

Crucially, this is the first time a PES game hasn't scored the #1 spot in its debut week since 2001, when it had an equally epic clash with EA over Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Capcom's Dead Rising 2 remains zombified at #3, while Codies' F1 2010 slips down a few places to #4.

This week's chart is significant for a couple of new entries and re-entries. Konami's Castlevania: Lords of Shadow performs well at #6 and Namco Bandai's gorgeous looking RPG, Enslaved, debuts at #7. After some time out of the Top 10, Just Dance and Wii Party are back for another go at #9 and #10 respectively.
