UK charts: Wii Fit still perched on top

By Robert Purchese Published 18 May, 2009

New Battlestations does admirably.

Wii Fit is balanced atop the UK All-Formats chart for a seventh consecutive week, taking its lifetime top-spot total to 16.

Nintendo's healthy game is now only two weeks away from breaking the all-time number-one record, which is held by Eidos' Who Wants to be a Millionaire. That game, incidentally, was the first in British history to sell one million copies.

Eidos' new release Battlestations: Pacific looks unlikely to reproduce that kind of success at number 10, unfortunately. Zip over to our Battlestations: Pacific review to see what we thought.

Elsewhere, Killzone 2 and Halo Wars take a bit of a dive, while Rhythm Paradise stays pleasingly prominent at 12.

Those off the bottom are Race Driver: GRID, Guitar Hero III and Burnout Paradise.

    yeah blah blah...would be nice to have actual sales numbers
    what makes it such a secret?

  • kinky_mong #2 3 years ago

    " Who Wants to be a Millionaire was the first in British history to sell one million copies."

    Can that be true? Are you telling me that something like Mario Bros 3 or Ocarina of Time didn't sell a million copies?

  • menage #3 3 years ago

    What's the point of playing something like "Who wants ... " when you can't actually win something.

  • gourry #4 3 years ago

    FFS people, STOP buying Wii Fit!! Its fun for a day or when you want to know how much the baby/dog/cat/etc weighs and then it just sits there doing nothing. Much like most poeples Gym membership.

    And yes I do own it.........and yes I paid silly money for it at xmas for a present.........not bitter tho........

  • Zomoniac #5 3 years ago

    Can that be true? Are you telling me that something like Mario Bros 3 or Ocarina of Time didn't sell a million copies?

    I don't even think a million N64s were sold here, let alone copies of OoT. It's sadly probably true. GTA 3 and VC only sold 600k each here.

  • CapnCloudchaser #6 3 years ago

    I remember when Ocarina came out, there was never enough copies on the shelves to sell a million.

  • andromeda #7 3 years ago

    so why is Brtiain still full of fat cunts?

  • dingo75 #8 3 years ago

    @andromeda

    One word: "24/7 Tesco"

    When I was in one of them once during a business trip and late arriving in the hotel I couldn't get this:
    a single bottle of Coke Light
    a single bar of chocolate
    a single package of crisps

    All I found were MASSIVE bundles of each.

    No wonder those chicks are fat...

    Surely the lead line joke should be 'Battlestations does admiralbly'?

    I'll get my coat.

  • El-Dev #10 3 years ago

    @dingo75,

    Coke light? Maybe if you had bought some diet coke or coke zero you might have found some suprising results.
    As for a single packet of crisps or a single bar of chocolate, not sure if Tesco still sell them at the checkouts or the tobacco kiosk(I'm a Sainsburys or M&S man myself) but you don't have to eat the entire multipack.

    As for Wii Fit doin so well: £69.99 roughly per unit, clearly Nintendo are a bit like McDonalds...Lovin it basically.

  • metalangel #11 3 years ago

    Next will be the Wii Exercise Biike. Exactly the same as a normal bike, except it plugs into your Wii, so millions of idiots will buy it.
