Uncharted Vita slips to four whilst perennial FIFA up to second
EA's SSX reboot has taken first place in the UK software chart on its debut, the first time that a game in the series has hit the top spot in its release week.
Last week's number one, the Vita exclusive Uncharted: Golden Abyss, has slipped to fourth place. EA regained second position with a resurgence for FIFA 12, while Nintendo's Mario Party 9 entered at third, despite not being stocked by under-fire UK retailer GAME (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-03-02-game-could-lose-2-5m-profit-over-mass-effect-dispute).
No other new entries hit the chart this week, although Batman: Arkham City and Uncharted 3 make re-entries at 12 and 19 respectively. Wii RPG The Last Story has dropped from the top 20, with FIFA Football for Vita dropping from second to eighth.
