It's no big surprise to see the official game of this summer's world cup storm to the top of the British gaming charts this week. It is however perhaps something of a surprise to see the PS3 version outperforming the 360 version. It was very tight with the PS3 version accounting for 48 % of sales with 47 % for Xbox 360 and PSP/Wii splitting the rest of the sales. Super Street Fighter IV also has a strong opening week, and God of War Collection also manages to squeeze in at number ten in the individual formats list.
