Football Manager 2012, created by Sports Interactive and published by SEGA, is in sixth place, again down two position, while Forza Motorsport 4, the racing game from Microsoft and Turn 10 that is only available on the Xbox 360, has dropped down just one place from last week to sit in seventh.
Zumba Fitness is in eight, with 505 Games ready to launch a follow-up fitness game, while Skylander's: Spyro's Adventure from Activision is in ninth.
