The tables turn this week as Forza Motorsport 3 (sales down 29%) charts at No. 4, down from No. 2, ahead of PES 2010 (sales down 54%) which takes a bit of a tumble to No. 5 from No. 1 last week.
Yet another debut title, GTA: Episodes From Liberty City, sits at No. 6, as Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (sales down 34%) moves down to No. 7 from No. 4 last week.
The last debut title of the Top Ten, Tekken 6, makes its mark at a respectable No. 8, Borderlands (sales down 10%) steps down to No. 9 from No. 7 last week, and Wii Sports Resort sits at No. 10, shifting down from No. 8 last week.

The latest and greatest edition of Tekken, Namco’s long-running, storied and venerable series of fighting games, is due for release later this month and was on hand to go for a spin at rAge 2009, and for a game that’s to be responsible for reinvigorating the, of late, lagging franchise, Tekken 6 is doing a lot right in terms of the spectacle and bombast on display to bring in new fans and ‘wow’ the old ones.
For all of its style and flair, though, Tekken 6 is also doing a lot that’s… the same as previous entries to the franchise, which is a good thing, but it’s also the reason the series has been surpassed in recent years by other fighting games.
