Wii and DS on top in Europe News

DS Wii News by Tom Bramwell

11 February, 2008

Mini-games and trying not to be thick have maintained their allure in Spain and Germany according to new weekly chart data.

More Brain Training for DS is top of the pops in Germany, having to make do with third place in Spain, while Wii Play is second in Germany and first in Spain.

The main chart interloper at the moment is Burnout Paradise (7th in Germany, 2nd in Spain).

But, apart from a few PC stalwarts in Germany (Crysis, Call of Duty 4 and World of Warcraft all features), PS3 versions of Assassin's Creed and Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 in Spain, and the PSP SmackDown game, it's all Nintendo all the time.

So, good work Germany and Spain. Here are the respective top tens:

Germany

  1. More Brain Training from Dr. Kawashima (DS)
  2. Wii Play (Wii)
  3. Pokemon Diamond (DS)
  4. Crysis (PC)
  5. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
  6. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (PC)
  7. Burnout Paradise (PS3)
  8. Sight Training (DS)
  9. New Super Mario Bros (DS)
  10. World of Warcraft (PC)

Spain

  1. Wii Play (Wii)
  2. Burnout Paradise (PS3)
  3. More Brain Training from Dr. Kawashima (DS)
  4. Big Brain Academy (Wii)
  5. Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training (DS)
  6. Link's Crossbow Training (Wii)
  7. Mario Party 8 (Wii)
  8. Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS3)
  9. WWE Smackdown! vs Raw 2008 (PSP)
  10. Assassin's Creed (PS3)

First!

In fairness I think we can remove Wii Play from that list, it's just a (near) freebie that you buy when you get a wii remote.

Wii Play has some great games in it (Tanks and new age pong). Better than many XBLA or PSN games.

Its funny NO Xbox games even make the list, not such a great attache rate in the rest of the world I guess....

smoison - Are you speaking from a non-UK/North American market or did you just make a silly comment?

In all fairness the spanish chart shows 3 PS3 games and 4 Wii ones ...but the PS3 games are full price ones and the wii ones are budget or bundled games....wouldt call that dominating.

Well that settles it then. France/Germany/Spain are pro Nintendo or Sony. I'd love to know where the 360/PS3 and Wii stand here in the UK.
