Konami’s PES 2010 debuted atop the UK all formats chart during the week ended October 24.
The publisher said last week that it had shipped three million copies of PES 2010 to retail for release and that it expected the title to become a million-seller at launch.
The title didn’t manage to match the launch of its predecessor, selling 39 per cent less than PES 2009 did in its first week across PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, according to GfK Chart-Track. The PS3 version of PES 2010 accounted for 66 per cent of opening week sales, ahead of the 360 (32 per cent) and PC (two per cent) editions. PSP, PS2 and Wii versions will be released on November 20.
Xbox 360 exclusive Forza Motorsport 3 entered the chart in second place, one spot ahead of FIFA 10, which had topped the rankings for the previous three weeks.
Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Winter Games moved up a spot to fourth, while WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2010 debuted at number five.
Uncharted 2 slipped from second to sixth, Borderlands entered the chart in seventh place, and Wii Sports Resort fell four spots to eighth.
Need For Speed Shift and Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising rounded off the top ten, dropping three and seven places respectively.
