Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has become the fastest-selling new title of 2010 so far in the UK, snatching the title away from Sega's Aliens vs Predator.

The multiformat title outsold the well-received original by a factor of 3 to 1, with 53 per cent of sales on the Xbox 360, 31 per cent on the PlayStation 3 and 16 per cent on the PC. The game also topped all of the relevant individual formats charts.

Ubisoft's Wii exclusive Just Dance saw sales fall by 15 per cent but still managed to rise one place to number two, pushing Aliens vs Predator down to number three as sales dropped 61 per cent.

Sales of PlayStation 3 exclusive Heavy Rain fell by 69 per cent, as the game slipped from number one to number four, amid reports of unexpected stock problems.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing had a more successful second week, rising three places to number five, as sales increased by 28 per cent.

The rest of the chart was composed of the regular pre-Christmas blockbusters, with the only other major new release being PC strategy title Supreme Commander 2 at number 23.
