UK charts: Wii Fit at No. 1 once again

New entries sparse. Top 40 inside.

Wii Fit keeps up the pace to take another UK all-formats top finish this week. This will be its fourth number one on the trot.

Below there's little more than minor jostling for position, as DS game Mystery Case Files: Millionheir is the only top 40 new entry at four.

FIFA 09 climbs slightly to two, bumping Call of Duty: World at War down to three. Professor Layton and the Curious Village is elbowed to five, ahead of non-movers Mario Kart Wii at six and Wii Play at seven.

Skate 2 takes eight, Mario & Sonic (who are still) at the Olympic Games finish at nine, and Guitar Hero World Tour rounds the chart out at 10. Incidentally, there's no sign of Rock Band 1 or 2 anywhere in the top 40, whereas Guitar Hero III still proves popular at 29. However, Rock Band 2 is only available for Xbox 360 here.

Retailer promotions for Left 4 Dead see the zombie-shooter race up from 29 to 15, and SimAnimals manages to break the top 40 on its second week of sale, landing at 22.

Despite a slow start, LittleBigPlanet still hangs in there at 22, as does fellow PS3-exclusive Resistance at 37.
