Next week might be a complete Wii/DS top 10 in my home country. I wonder when WiiFit and Mario Kart Wii will finally stop selling out completely.

@Aj_habfan: Last week Soul Calibur had only 1 day of sales, so this is almost like its first week sales.

It happens quite often for titles in the Dutch charts to go up in its second week, so you could say it is normal.

For most titles the first day of sales is your biggest day of sales followed by the second day. SC IV would more than likely follow that trend and probably other games those people were talking about.

Games that don't follow those trends are huge mainstream titles like Halo, Smash Bros, Mario games, ect., and of course the mainstream games most people call casual titles such as Guitar Hero, Carnival Games, and Viva Pinata. Otherwise that trend stays true.
