Chart Track UK for week ending October 20 - Image 1 


FIFA 08
had remained on the top spot of the Chart Track UK ladder ever since it dethroned Halo 3 (for the week ending October 6). Now, the football mogul is finally kicked right out of the top spot by… drumroll, please… another football game. Sega‘s Football Manager 2008 for the PC and Mac OS X platforms has debuted at #1 for the week ending October 20.

Former king FIFA 08 (PS3, PS2, PSP, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, and DS) landed not so far away at the second spot, which is followed by two new entrants in the UK charts. The Orange Box (Half-Life 2, HL2: Episode 1 and 2, Team Fortress 2, and Portal) from Valve and Electronic Arts takes the third spot, while the Nintendo DS’ The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass clocks in at fourth place. Halo 3 caps the top five spots.

  2. FIFA 08
  3. The Orange Box
  4. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
  5. Halo 3
  6. Project Gotham Racing 4
  7. Ratatouille
  8. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
  9. Resistance: Fall of Man
  10. Crash of the Titans

Yes, it seems that Europeans do love their football. Heck, the sports simulation title is even scheduled to hit the PSP sometime this Christmas in the form of Football Manager Handheld 2008. Anyone wanna place their bets as early as now that the PSP version will eventually claim the top spot once it gets released?
