UK Chart: Modern Warfare 3 Still Top News

And you can get used to that headline now in the weeks leading up to Christmas as Modern Warfare 3 makes Activision's bid for a third consecutive year of CoD Christmas No.1s on the UK chart.

Whether or not Modern Warfare 3 can pull-off an unbroken chain of No.1s up until then or, indeed, whether FIFA can spoil CoD's Christmas No.1 party (as it last did in 2008) is another question altogether, but right now Activision's shooter is looking strong with a trail of three consecutive No.1s since its launch (a feat that Black Ops didn't manage last year).

It's on that streak with a distinct lack of high-profile challengers remaining on the release schedules too – the only new releases this week were WWE '12, which came in at No.6, and Nintendo's latest Professor Layton title for DS one spot behind that.

Elsewhere it was business as usual, more or less: Assassin's Creed: Revelations stayed put at No.2, as did FIFA 12 at No.5 despite enjoying a 22% increase in sales. The only other title across the top 10 to increase its sales over last week was Just Dance 3, which moved up two places to No.8.

Ubisoft's dancing game was also one of only two titles to move upwards on the top 10 this week, the other being Saints Row: The Third (up one to No.3). The remaining three titles across the top 10 all suffered one spot drops: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim at No.4, Battlefield 3 at No.9, and Super Mario 3D Land at No.10.
