Devil May Cry Devoured by Mario and Sonic

A slow week in the UK sees the mascot game reclaim the top spot.

There are tears for Capcom this week as the company's new PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 action game Devil May Cry 4 succumbs to Sega and Nintendo's mascot mash-up after just one week.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games reclaims the top spot in the UK yet again. And it's all down to the DS version, which made up more than 90 per cent of all sales of the game and is also the best-selling game on an individual system, according to research firm Chart Track.

The remainder of the chart is filled with familiar faces as some of the new games released the previous week mingle with chart stalwarts such as Dr Kawashima's Brain Training and Wii Play.

Will EA's highly stylized arcade football game FIFA Street 3 have what it takes to displace Sonic and Mario? We'll find out when the game arrives on Friday.

Below are the Top 20 games across all formats for the week ending 16 February, as determined by Chart Track:

1. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Sega)
