Mario and Sonic Olympic games is STILL on the chart! That just proves that great games sometimes take a backseat to name recognition. Geez...

@Klopfer123: I guess, but cheap rubbish is still rubbish.

360 GTA tops? I thought the PS3 outnumbered the 360 in 'jolly 'ol England chap".

(Sure I'll get roasted for this but...)
Am I the only Brit who is proud of our charts each week. Not only am I fan of nearly all those games, but they show DIVERSITY. I'm glad it's not just shooters, or just sports or whatever.
What the British charts constantly show in my opinion is the widening demographic of gamers here in the UK, and I for one greet it with open arms.
My mother has played games for years, but I like to think maybe other mothers, or people who wouldn't normally play games are getting and playing games too.

@megaStryke: Context.

This is an article about the top 10 sales. Hence, he is talking about the top 10, you know, the topic of the article. I'm fairly certain Okenny is well aware there are games beyond the top 10; but they just aren't relevant here.

@Jnkzm4: Well that's all relative. Can you say that number 3 to 10 combined is equal to the sales generated by either 1 or 2? I dunno...

So in other words Nintendo is still pissin on Sony and Microsoft's faces saying "We may not have number 1 or 2 spot, but in overall sales we are kicking your asses all over Britain!"

Rabbids 2 has been advertised on the TV which normally guaranties decent sales (very annoying ad though)

I imagine the only reason wii fit is not on the top spot is because it is sold out nearly everywhere...

Glad to see GTA4 has done so well though, not my kind of game, but is a big deal for many. Lets see if Age of Conan brings a PC title back in soon!

@KroKan:
I've got to pick it up for my stepdaughter for her birthday.Looks fun enough.

Good to see two PS3 titles in the top 10.Not a big surprise about GTA4 though.

Good to see GTA4 there, I am sick of seeing the Wii dominating the games charts... Pity it wont last!

I'll try and help keep it at the top by finally getting round to buying my copy this week.

Why is the market saturated with rubbish Wii games?

Oh yeah, because 'the Wii user is not a hardcore user'.

Could be that the Rabbids got a price cut. Sonic And The Secret Rings charted too once it got cheaper as did quite a few other Wii games. Hopefully that tells publishers how to price some of their Wii efforts if they want them to sell.

Is that the original RRR?
Either way it's surprising.
But I did enjoy that game.
