Activision's new IP Prototype has managed to take the number one spot in the UK on its second week of release, according to data from GfK Chart-Track.

As sales of EA's The Sims 3 dropped 49 per cent the PC title slipped to number two in the All Formats charts, with Nintendo's Wii Fit just behind at three.

Sony's much-delayed Ghostbusters: The Videogame managed to break into the charts at number four despite only be released on the PlayStation 3 and PS2.

A price cut on Call of Duty: World at War sees it push back up the charts to number five, ahead of THQ's Red Faction: Guerilla at six, which suffers a sales decline of 46 per cent, and UFC 2009: Undisputed at seven.

EA's Grand Slam Tennis enjoys a sales boost of 47 per cent pushing it into the top ten, while Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings sees sales jump 158 per cent as it climbs to number 13.

Um, the Ghostbusters game got released on Wii, 360, and DS as well. I bought my copy for the 360 at the midnight release for the game. The only system it didn't end up on, sadly, was PSP.

In Europe, Sony paid for exclusivity for Ghostbusters (timed exclusivity i think)
