Pokemon Ranger becomes sixth title in series to take top spot

Nintendo has returned to the top of the All Formats charts after four years with Pokemon Ranger taking the coveted number one spot.

Pokemon Ranger is the sixth title in the series to hit number one, and becomes the first Nintendo developed title to climb to the top since Pokemon Ruby four years ago.

Last week's number one, TMNT: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, has been pushed back to number two, just ahead of Wii Play which leaps up the charts from number 24 to number three.

This week's highest new entry is Harvest Moon DS at number 4. Ubisoft's budget release of Rayman 2: The Great Escape is at number five while Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training climbs up the top ten to number six.

Electronic Arts' Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 is at number seven, with another Ubisoft PC title, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, at number eight.

Former number one Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars is at number nine this week with Codemasters' Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 at number ten.

Nintendo has a total of seven DS games in the top forty, including Hotel Dusk: Room 215 at number 22 and Cooking Mama which enters the charts at number 35."

The article I read explained it's the first Pokemon title in four years to hit the top spot, what you have here makes it sound like no Nintendo published title has hit number one spot in four years, that can't be right. I'm sure Wii Play or Zelda was just up there.

 No, I think that is actually correct. Following the UK charts (this is what it refers to - not Spanish or another European territory), I believe it has actually been that long since Nintendo #1's. Wii launch titles were in the top 5, but not #1 - I think they launched at the same time as some football games (which took #1 instead).
