X-Men Origins misses out on UK top spot

Activision's movie tie-in X-Men Origins: Wolverine has failed to take the top spot in the UK charts, debuting just behind Wii Fit, which holds the number one position for the fifth week.

Electronic Art's FIFA 09 saw sales leap 28 per cent this week as it climbed to number three in the charts, while Nintendo's Wii Play and Mario Kart Wii also enjoyed a boost with sales up 47 per cent and 15 per cent, respectively.

The only other new entry in the charts this week is SingStar: Pop Edition for PS3, which enters at number 32.

The top ten follows:

01 Wii Fit
02: X-Men Origins: Wolverine
03 FIFA 09
04 Wii Play
05 Resident Evil 5
06 Mario Kart Wii
07 The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena
