@ lilynipper I wasn't talking about sales. Just about sports, but he is right about the sales comment. Btw the Football Manager series is a world wide seller.
UK Chart: Football Manager scores number one
Sports Interactive's annual juggernaut storms to top place; neither new Bond game shakes or stirs top 10.
Football Manager 2011, the latest iteration of Sega's football management sim, debuted in first place in the UK sales chart for the week ending November 6, with FIFA 11 holding in second and Fable III dipping from first to third.
Neither of Activision's just-released James Bond duo, GoldenEye 007 for the Wii and the multiformat 007 Blood Stone, landed in the top 10. Blood Stone, an action adventure game with driving segments, came in at number 18. GoldenEye, a shooter based on the classic 1997 Nintendo 64 game, fared better, entering the chart at 13.
Blood Stone's muted reception comes after a relatively low-key marketing campaign, without the benefit of being a tie-in product for a high-profile movie; though it features Daniel Craig as 007, Blood Stone isn't connected to any Bond film. By comparison, the tie-in game for 2008's Quantum of Solace, released in late October 2008, entered the UK chart at number seven. GoldenEye, on the other hand, enjoys the recognition of being a "reimagining" of the well-loved N64 title.
