There seems to be little change in the Top 10 besides Capcom's team-based beast slayer, with the PS3 and PC versions of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City (-31%) holding strong in third and Wii Fit Plus (-3%) climbing up to fourth. Modern Warfare 2 also leapt a place to #8, such is the power of Infinity Ward's beast.

The only other new entry to hit the chart at all was Namco Bandai's Dead to Rights: Retribution, which landed this week into #22.
