• Battlefield 3 holds steady atop UK charts

  Smash-hit shooter Battlefield 3 has retained its position atop the UK all-formats chart, despite a strong challenge from Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.

  EA and DICE's acclaimed action game managed to continue its blockbusting pace to see off Naughty Dog's latest PlayStation 3 adventure, topping the official GfK-ChartTrack rankings for a second week.

  However, second-placed Uncharted 3 was still able to generate massive numbers of its own, recording the 11th best PlayStation 3 launch ever, while far exceeding the debut of 2009's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

  Third place went to FIFA 12, while the ever-popular Batman: Arkham City and Just Dance 3 rounded out the top five.

  Sega's latest Sonic the Hedgehog adventure, Sonic Generations, also cracked the top ten, slotting in at tenth place.

  Next week's chart will be rocked by the imminent launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which is likely to break more than a few sales records when it debuts on Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3.

  Sony stamps on PlayStation 4 rumours

  As is always the case when big trade shows loom on the horizon, the internet got all fidgety and excited about the idea that both Microsoft and Sony would be announcing new consoles this year.

  The Consumer Electronics Show kicked off this week with keynote speeches from both companies, but not even a whisper of new hardware. Now both Kaz Hirai, Sony's chief entertainment division overlord, has told everyone to shut up and stop being so silly.

  Backing up Andrew House, Sony's CEO of the PlayStation business who had previously dismissed the rumour, Hirai issued a firm denial in an interview with journalists at CES. �ndy (House) is absolutely right in that we are not making any announcements at E3,�Hirai said. ��e always said a 10-year life cycle for PS3, and there is no reason to go away from that.�/p>

  So if you've been resisting the urge to buy a PS3 because you've heard a replacement is on the way, don't hold your breath.
