This week's ELSPA official UK game sales chart as compiled by Chart-Track sees Ubi Soft's multiplatform Splinter Cell retaining the number one position ahead of The Sims and Championship Manager 4, which have swapped places in positions two and three respectively. The remainder of the list bears more than a passing resemblance to last week's, save for the fact that Devil May Cry 2 has dropped from fifth position down to number 19, and Freelancer has dropped out of the top 20 altogether from seventh.

　　Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets has climbed an impressive nine places to claim sixth position on the chart, while the last remaining position in the top 10 was claimed by this week's highest new entry, Vietcong. The only other new entry this week was the multiplatform X2: Wolverine's Revenge at number 11, although Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003 also found its way back into the top 20 after a few weeks' absence.
