We love charts here at playerattack, and one of the highlights of our week is receiving the latest details from ELSPA, who send us the 40 best-selling titles in Britain, as announced by the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association.
Who knew the Brits liked a bit of soccer football? The 2010 FIFA World Cup has taken out the top honours here, after narrowly beating a certain “super” fighting title. By their powers combined, Just Dance has been knocked down to third, followed by the latest Tom Clancy and a few episodes from Liberty City.
