UK sales figures - Wii Fit and Force Unleashed the big sellers

You don't often get UK specific sales figures but some have leaked out today. From July to September Wii Fit was the biggest seller with 460,000 units shifted (of which 445,000 are currently under a layer of dust...). In a good summer for Nintendo, Mario Kart Wii sold 394,000. Force Unleashed, the flawed but generally entertaining Star Wars game, was next up shifting 321,000 units in the UK (1.4 million in the US).

The biggest selling game worldwide from July to Sept was Too Hum, no hang on, Madden NFL 2009. The excellent American Football game shifted just under 3 million units in the US and a creditable 35k in the UK. Go Dolphins.

Of course Q4 - Oct to Dec - is where the real sales hit. But which game will sell most in the run up to Christmas? Lich King? FIFA 2009? Call of Duty: World at War?
