The UK's best-selling games of 2010

Call of Duty: Black Ops has earned the distinction (and accompanying mountain of cash) of being the UK's best-selling game of 2010, but when the charts are broken down into formats Activision's shooter is a little less omnipresent. Here's what did best on the major traditional gaming platforms last year...

Note these figures are purely for retail: digital distributors such as Steam, XBLA and Blizzard's store are not covered, and neither are social or mobile titles.

Nintendo Wii:

• 1. Just Dance (Ubisoft)
• 2. Wii Fit Plus (Nintendo)
• 3. Just Dance 2 (Ubisoft)
• 4. Wii Sports Resort (Nintendo)
• 5. New Super Mario Bros WII (Nintendo)

While other publishers didn't get much of a look in, Nintendo's traditional first-party dominance clearly not going anywhere, it has at least been a fantastic year for Ubisoft on Wii.

Sony PlayStation 3:

• 1. Call Of Duty: Black Ops (Activision)
• 2. FIFA 11 (EA)
• 3. Gran Turismo 5 (Sony)
• 4. Red Dead Redemption (Rockstar)
• 5. Assassins Creed: Brotherhood (Ubisoft)

The third-parties clean up here, but it's possible Gran Turismo 5 would have placed higher had it been released earlier in the year - and not suffered all those infamous delays.

Microsoft Xbox 360:

• 1. Call Of Duty: Black Ops (Activision)
• 2. FIFA 11 (EA)
• 3. Halo: Reach (Microsoft)
• 4. Red Dead Redemption (Rockstar)
• 5. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (Ubisoft)

Similarly, only one-first party title in the top five here, and otherwise the 360's a mirror of PS3.

Nintendo DS:

• 1. Professor Layton And The Lost Future (Nintendo)
• 2. New Super Mario Bros (Nintendo)
• 3. Art Academy (Nintendo)
• 4. Pokemon Soulsilver (Nintendo)
• 5. Mario Kart DS (Nintendo)

Five for five on first-party titles - will the 3DS prove any easier for third-party publishers to earn the big money?

Sony PSP:

• 1. FIFA 11 (EA)
• 2. LittleBigPlanet (Sony)
• 3. Gran Turismo (Sony)
• 4. Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines (Ubisoft)
• 5. FIFA 10 (EA)

Familiar brands dominate, but clearly Sony's a bigger publisher on its handheld than its core console.

PC:

• 1. Football Manager 2011 (SEGA)
• 2. Football Manager 2010 (SEGA)
• 3. The Sims 3 (EA)
• 4. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm (Activision-Blizzard)
• 5. Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty (Activision-Blizzard)

Home-grown studio Sports Interactive manages the unlikely feat of keeping the twin titans of Blizzard and EA's Sims at bay - twice. Were digital sales also covered by Chart-track, it's possible some of these might appear in the all-formats top ten. It's also worth noting that Cataclysm places fourth based on just three weeks on sale.
