Wii Sports Resort is top of the pops
Potter falls off his stick.
Nintendo's Wii Sports Resort has taken the number one spot in this week's UK All-Formats Top 40, knocking Harry Potter into a cocked sorting hat.
Well, knocking it into second place anyway, even though sales were only down by four per cent according to data-gatherers Chart-Track.
And while Chart-Track hasn't any Wii Sports data to compare Resort's first-week sales to, because the original was bundled with the Wii, it does point out that week-one Wii hardware sales from 2006 are very similar to week-one Wii Sports Resort sales.
We can also kill another paragraph with the revelation that Resort has enjoyed the fourth-biggest first week of a Wii title ever, behind Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii and SEGA's evergreen-hill-zone Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and Wii Fit both hold firm at third and fourth respectively, and there's not a lot of movement elsewhere in the top ten either.
Indeed, it's a bit of a quiet week for chart movement in general, with no massive dips or jumps besides the re-entry of Race Driver: GRID at 22.
See below for the whole top 40 with movements. And please do see below - it takes ages to move everything around in TextPad every Monday.
