Edit:

Wrong week, sorry. 

All these Wii games including third party titles in the top 40?! I would suggest it is a sign that the userbase is growing so rapidly, and coming to incorporate so many different types of users, that there is coming to be a far more viable market for core games on the system.

Ghost Squad and Zack and Wiki both debuting in the top 20 and Mario & Sonic shooting back to top of the ladder backs this up imo.

Why is cooking mama ALWAYS in the top few spots in EU regions. Can anyone grab the release date for Cooking Mama in EU? Its in the freaking top 10 still, and I KNOW that game released a long long time ago.

Spain:
1. PES 2008 (PS3)
2. More Brain Training (DS)
3. Uncharted (PS3)
4. PES 08 (PS2)
5. SMG (Wii)
6. Brain Training (DS)
7. Assasin's Creed (PS3)
8. New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
9. Big Brain Academy (Wii)
10. Practice English (DS) Edit: Oops, these are week 2 charts. Please ignore.

spain seems very balanced...

much more than most places...

Yes they are but I'm surprised to see PES and Uncharted both the charts. Uncharted for the first time.

The Spain chart is from the previous week, "week 2". Posted here.

It was released on december 8, 2006 in EU ( not such a long time ago ).

My guess for its monstruous legs is :

    - This game is perfectly suited for 3-13 years old little girls, who are quite numerous on the DS, thanks to the succes of games like Nintendogs or Animal Crossing.

    - There's a real lack of serious competition for this demography of gamers. I mean, are there a lot of good games for younger girls beside Nintendogs, AC, Mysims, or the recent Ubisoft's "Imagine" series ?

    - Maybe it's a bundle game in the UK ?
