It’s not quite the holiday seasons yet, but it looks like the Xbox 360 got an early hit in against the PlayStation 3. Gears of War 2 debuted at the top of the UK‘s software charts, getting the one-up against LittleBigPlanet.

LittleBigPlanet, which was released two days before GoW2 in the region, only landed on fourth place for some reason. Either Europeans just aren’t into sackboys, or a lot of gamers simply imported the game when it came out in North America.

Then again, the game’s debut in the Japan didn’t land on top spot either, with Grand Theft Auto IV stealing its sticker thunder. MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, also a PlayStation 3 exclusive, didn’t fare so well either, debuting in the UK low at 29th place. FIFA 09 and Fallout 3 win second and third place, respectively.

Here the full top 10 games for the UK for the week ending on November 8:

1. Gears of War 2
2. FIFA 09
3. Fallout 3
4. LittleBigPlanet
5. WWE Smackdown Vs RAW 2009
6. Professor Layton and the Curious Village
7. Mario Kart Wii
8. Quantum of Solace
9. Pro Evolution Soccer 2009
10. Wii Fit
