UK Xbox 360 game chart for 2009

**Ross** · 17-01-10, 07:46 PM

According to ELSPA and Chart-Track GfK's figures, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was the best-selling Xbox 360 game of 2009 in the UK, despite its November release date. The game, developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision, also topped the UK PlayStation 3 and multi-format chart.

Modern Warfare 2's predecessors, 2008's World At War and 2007's Call of Duty 4, also appeared in the top 20.

FIFA 10, developed and published by Electronic Arts, was in second place and it too repeated its position in the PlayStation 3 and multi-format charts as well. FIFA 09 found itself in 16th place.

Key Microsoft-developed exclusive franchise Halo featured prominently in the Xbox 360 chart. Halo 3: ODST, Halo Wars, and Halo 3 all placed, while other Microsoft exclusives such as Forza Motorsport 3, Grand Theft Auto IV's episode bundle Liberty City, Left 4 Dead 2 and Pure kept cash registers ringing throughout the year.
Seven of the top 20 were released in October 2009 or later, making for a busy (and profitable) fourth quarter: Lego Batman, FIFA 10, Forza Motorsport 3, Episodes From Liberty City, Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed II, and Left 4 Dead 2.
Need for Speed: Shift and Halo 3: ODST came out in September.

Really? I expected that to happen with the PC version (due to the lack of mod tools and dedicated servers) but not any other version.

Aye most of my mates traded their xbox ones in...myself included...we didnt like playing it online

It could be the people who don't have online mostly trading it in, i could see why they wouldn't keep it for long as all i play is xbox live multiplayer on it.
