Electronic Arts has managed to maintain a total of seven titles in the top ten UK software sales this week, with the company's domination of the top five punctured only by the new entry of Ubisoft’s anticipated Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. With other versions of the game due to be released in the coming weeks, the title may yet be able to reach the top spot, although the much maligned FIFA Street 2 continues to sell extremely strongly. Multi-format boxing simulation Fight Night: Round 3 has also performed well at number three, with the Xbox 360 version leading the title’s advertising efforts, and that SKU accounting for 60% of total sales. Other movement in the top forty has been limited, though, with the highest new entry outside of the top ten being the new PSP version of Lemmings at number twelve. The only other new entry is a also a retro PSP title, in the form of Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max at number twenty-eight. The chart also features a couple of re-entries, with the Labrador & Friends version of evergreen Nintendo DS title Nintendogs charting as high as number twenty-seven, even without hardware bundled sales being added the tally. Capcom’s much admired Resident Evil 4 has also re-emerged at number thirty-five.
