Oh dear. Sony's one decent game of the year first cost it a bomb thanks to the famous botched launch and global recall, then suffered from embarrassing content deletion - and it's only scraped fourth place in the latest UK games charts. Whoops.

The news for Cliffy B's homo-erotic buddy movie Gears of War 2 is much better - it took the #1 spot on the UK all-formats games chart. This means it's okay to FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF and your decision to buy an Xbox 360. We are REINFORCING your self-confidence! You are COOL!

Chart-Track said Gears 2 recorded Xbox 360's third-best day-one sales total of all, behind Halo 3 and GTA IV, and had the eight best-selling launch day in history. Second place went to FIFA 09, with Bethesda's Fallout 3 taking third spot. LittleBigPlanet did rubbish and was fourth, because it IS rubbish and nobody with any sense owns PlayStation3s.
