"EA’s ‘Burnout Paradise’ is the first title of 2008 to hold on to the No1 spot in the All Formats Chart, despite a 13% drop in sales in its second week of release. The PS3 version accounts for 49% of sales this week, almost overtaking the Xbox 360 version whose sales fall by 16% compared to PS3’s 9% decline.

Replenished Wii console hardware stock gives ‘Wii Play’ a boost, up from No4 to No2 with sales almost doubling (+87%). Activisions’ ‘Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’ holds on to No3, featuring in the Top 3 of the All Formats Chart for the past 8 weeks, while Sega’s ‘Mario & Sonic’ falls from No2 to No4 (sales down 46%). Nintendo’s only DS representatives in the All Formats Top 10 are the original ‘Brain Training’, a non-mover at No5, and the sequel ‘More Brain Training’, up from No10 to No7.

Competitive pricing on ‘WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2008’ helps THQ’s game jump back into the All Formats Top 10 arena, while Nintendo’s Wii ‘Donkey Kong: Jet Race’ speeds to the outskirts of the Top 10, up 22 places from No33 to No11 in its second week of release. Wii hardware bundling enables both ‘Sonic and the Secret Rings’ and ‘Mario Strikers Charged Football’ to re-enter the All Formats Top 40 at No22 and No28 respectively. The only game released this week to debut in the All Formats Top 40 is Microsoft’s ‘Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom’ on Xbox 360 at No33."

its a fun little ame...plus you get a controler---its a double shot of deadly

People are just buying the game for the controller, not the actual game. But hey, everyone knows that by now.

Why did I immediately know this would be one of the first few posts, as soon as I saw the thread title?

If people just wanted the controller, they'd buy the controller for 40 €. They're spending 50 € on Wii Play, so they obviously want the game too. Hey, the game's actually good, the tanks game alone makes it worth it.

In any case, I'd really like to know why some people are enraged by Wii Play appearing in the charts (not saying it's the case with you). It's almost as if a position in a chart meant anything in terms of the console war...

Oops, sorry. I always thought the Wii controller wasn't sold seperately but only with Wii Play. But then again, if its only $10 extra, I can see why people would buy Wii Play in stead of the seperate controller. Just so they can test the controller with a few mini-games besides Wii Sports. Still, sales are very good !

Damn, I meant not the actual game ;) You knew that

Yay for Zack & Wiki holding on in UK top 30.

Ghost Squad remarkably well at 15.

why is carnoval games outselling SMG?!

26/40 on Nintendo consoles!
