Unit sales for Infinity Ward's hit Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 dropped 86 percent week-on-week in the UK, but the shooter still led weekly charts, topping Ubisoft's new Assassin's Creed 2 for the week ended November 21, according to Chart-Track. It's the second week in a row since its November 10 debut that Modern Warfare 2 was able to handily secure the top spot on Chart-Track's all-platforms rankings, which lumps together all versions of a given game. The tracking firm said last week that the game sold 1.23 million units in day-one sales in the UK, grossing around £47 million ($77.85 million) on its opening day in the UK and generating opening week sales of £67.4 million ($111.8 million) in the region. Worldwide, the game earned an estimated $550 million in its first five days, according to Activision. Other high-profile titles made it into the UK all-platforms top 10 this week in the form of Ubisoft Montreal's Assassin's Creed 2, Nintendo's New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and Electronic Arts and Valve's Left 4 Dead 2. UK All-Platforms Top 10 1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Activision) 2. Assassin's Creed 2 (Ubisoft) 3. New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Nintendo) 4.
