German and Spanish yet to tyre.

Sony's Gran Turismo 5 Prologue has debuted atop both the German and Spanish charts in sales data released by GfK International, GamesIndustry.biz reports.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and Brain Training continued to chart in both countries. GT5 Prologue was the only PS3 title on either chart, while no Xbox 360 titles placed in the top ten in either country.

Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath performed well in Germany, reaching the second and seventh positions. Nintendo DS titles took four of the top ten places.

In Spain, Army of Two for the PS3 and Xbox 360 - at number 2 and 6 last week, respectively - dropped out of the top ten, while God of War for the PSP moved up to the second position.

    Something wrong here, with C&C3 appearing twice in the list for Germany:

    Electronic Arts is selling two versions of the game. One German Version with an age rating of 16 (although nobody forced them to do this version by law or any government agency. EA just thinks they can sell more.)

    The other version is the uncut one rated 18. My guess is that the 18+ version is the one on top, since it also includes English language assets. Listening to German VG dubs is torture. C&C players are not minors and comparing sales at Amazon also support the theory of the unrated version being the one selling far better.

    Yup - this is a great move from EA and should be applauded.
