The official UK Christmas Number 1 for 2009 is…Modern Warfare 2. Oh come on, you could act a little surprised! Activision and Infinity Ward’s latest Call of Duty game has held strong at number 1 since its release 6 weeks ago, but they have a long way to go to beat EA’s record of 11 Christmas Number 1’s. So, what has been happening elsewhere on the charts?
UK PS3 Chart: Week ending 19th December:
Modern Warfare 2 has reclaimed the top spot on the PS3 chart having lost out to Assassin’s Creed 2 last week. Uncharted climbs one place to number 4 meaning that Drake has been in the top 5 ever since release, some 2 months ago. Avatar: The Game enters the chart for the first time since release; it climbed 7 places to number 6. And, if Activision weren’t happy enough with Modern Warfare 2’s performance, Modern Warfare 1 has also climbed back into the charts…I’m thinking that there may have been some confused parents out there this week and that a few of you may be disappointed when you open an old game!
 
UK 360 Chart: Week ending 19th December:
Modern Warfare 2 has sat at number 1 on the 360 chart since release and it’s still there. Again, Avatar: The Game has arrived from number 18 to number 7; must be to do with the release of the film. FIFA 10 has climbed into the top 3 again and WWE SvR 2010 has slipped from the chart entirely; although it had been a prominent feature for several weeks before.
 
The Chart Competition winners will be announced as soon as I have sorted through the entries.
