Chart Track unveils UK software sales for week ending December 29

Even after posting higher than expected sales, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed continues to dominate sales charts in the UK. In the week ending December 29, Chart Track's numbers show previous topnotcher Activision's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare assassinated by the hard-hitter developed by Ubisoft Montreal.

Unsurprisingly, the UK also embraced EA Sports' FIFA 2008 and placed it on the second spot. Konami's own football game, Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, came at number 6. Two more from Electronic Arts also made it to the list, namely The Simpsons Game and Need for Speed: ProStreet.

Unlike Japan's software sales charts, only a single Nintendo title appeared on the top ten. More Brain Training From Dr. Kawashima for the Nintendo DS took the ninth place while Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training followed at 11th.

Interesting enough, Bioware's interstellar role-playing game Mass Effect didn't garner enough attention to move it up from the 39th spot. Game of the Year contender Super Mario Galaxy fared better at 17.
