Charts: GTA IV and Wii Fit unstoppable News

PC PlayStation 2 PSP DS Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Wii
News by Robert Purchese

20 May, 2008

Grand Theft Auto IV and Wii Fit have spent a third week at the top of the UK all-formats chart.

Both dropped nearly 50 percent in sales, but still had enough in the tank to see off Mario Kart Wii - which boosted from nine to three.

Then, inevitably, came the pounding feet of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games at four, followed by Wii Play at five.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 gained half-a-yard to make six, out-flanking consistent best sellers Call of Duty 4 at eight and Brain Training at nine.

Guitar Hero III managed to finish with a flourish to climb from 11 and round the chart off at 10.

Meanwhile, two week-old Boom Blox managed to finally make the list at 21, despite critical acclaim and being a big name collaboration with Steven Spielberg.

Two other fortnight-old titles managed to break into the Top 40 as well: High School Musical: Work This Out at 14, and Speed Racer at 37.

Top Trumps: Doctor Who was the only new entry at 22.

Boom Blox needs some of that sweet, sweet Nintendo marketing budget.

What we really want to know is the 360/PS3 split of the GTA IV sales. This is vital information.

Yep - same with Mario Kart. Very suspicious. Are they counting pre-orders?

I am not surprised Boom Blox is not selling well - I went in to Game on release day and they hadn't heard of it and it wasn't on the shelves. I asked and they rummaged around in the stock room and were surprised to find it.

This was in the store on Cheapside right in the City of London!

And not to mention that Boom Blox seems overpriced - I'm waiting for it to fall to a more reasonable 20-25 quid

The Wii is unstoppable with four of its exclusive games in the Top Five. Very impressive really.

Yes, but hardly a surprise for anyone with half a brain cell and no fanboy allegiance (though one might be a prerequisite for the other)... ;)

Trivia, spot the fanboy:

Les about MS: "There's no reason to 'hate' MS as a brand/company. It's leadership is at fault. It has shown gross misconduct towards its customers and for that it deserves nothing but contempt. Defending indefensible behavior is real stupidity, even if it's against the vogue... "

And his arteries were pumping real hard..., I could see them from Lisbon...

And still they don't list PES2008 as a Wii game.

Which is a shame, since it's the best selling version of the game - 10th in the individual format charts, with the PSP next down in 32nd.

And what is "Sonic and the Secret Rings" doing still in there.. but no "Mario Galaxy" - do people not have ANY taste in games?
