After a week, Halo 3 dethroned by FIFA 08 in Chart Track UK

Chart Track UK has published the results of the Top 40 games in their region for the week ending October 6. Although it’s not surprising that Halo 3 debuted right at the top of last week’s chart (week ending September 29), what you might find a bit of a bother now is that it no longer reigns supreme.

From second place last week, Electronic Arts‘ FIFA 08 (PS3, PS2, PSP, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, and DS) has bumped Halo 3 from the number one spot and claimed it for itself. Meanwhile, MySims got demoted one level down from the third spot, which is now occupied by Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights.

1. FIFA 08
2. Halo 3
3. Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights
4. MySims
5. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
6. More Brain Training From Dr. Kawashima
7. Sega Rally
8. Ratatouille
9. Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training
10. Forza Motorsport 2

One probable reason (we’re sure there are a lot others) why Halo 3 is now in second place is because of its stellar success during the first week – probably anyone and everyone who would have or could have gotten a copy of the game during the first week of its release already did so, therefore not getting much contribution in sales for this week. Besides. Who ever said getting the second spot was bad?
