so i went instore before seeing the charts and it just happened that
fifa 10
uncharted 2
cod mw2
tekken 6
RATCHET & CLANK: A CRACK IN TIME
had all slipped out of the top 10 being replaced by games like mini ninjas fight night and ninja gaiden
only game worth buying was borderlands and that was conveniently sold out
so come on asda are you trying to con us or what ? :confused:

Isn't COD:MW2 the fastest selling video game of all time?

Although I don't think Asda are breaking any law, it's still a pretty sneaky stunt which could result in many wasted trips for a lot people!

What? You're joking, right?

COD isn't in the top 10? That's disgusting!

But, what's even MORE interesting is their official chart

Hmmm

they didn't say it was the UK top 10 chart did they?

it's ASDAS's top 10, the games that they sell the most of on that console... not the UK chart :) - thats where the trick lies.

No it's not, if you click the sort by best-selling button at the top of the chart then, surprise surprise, MW2 suddenly jumps to the top. This chart is based on an unspecified criterium known in-house as "stuff we've got a backlog of cheap stock of and need to shift".

Just to cover my arse from any sort of action I wasn't suggesting it was illegal just an underhanded tactic to get people in store
