Strong 360 sales help Devil May Cry 4 debut at No.1

Xbox accounts for 61 per cent of units sold in UK

The latest title in the former Sony exclusive franchise Devil May Cry has debuted in the UK's All Formats charts at number one, with the lion's share of sales on the Xbox 360.

Sixty one per cent of sales were on the Microsoft console, with the rest on Sony's PlayStation 3 and PC. The game is number one in the All Formats charts but also the individual format charts as well.

Sega's success with Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games continues as the release of the DS version sees sales jump 85 per cent as it climbs to number two, while Propaganda Games scores an impressive debut at number three with the latest in the Turok series.

Previous number one Burnout Paradise is pushed to number four, with Wii Play at number five.

A Wii release to accompany the PC and PS2 versions of Oxygen's PDC World Championship Darts 08 helps it break into the top ten at six, while Activision's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is at seven.

Dr Kawashima's Brain Training is at eight this week, with Sega's new IP The Club debuting in the top ten at nine, just ahead of FIFA 08 at ten.

Other new releases in the top forty this week include Eidos' Conflict: Denied Ops at 11 and DS title Professor Kageyama's Maths Training at 16.
