Wii Play is way down. There are either shortages of it or of the Wii in the UK.

Wow ,the PS3 and Wii are sure fighting hard in the UK with 9 titles each in the Top Ten .The 360 is close enough thanks to its one year headstart but I am under the impression its slowly losing ground against the newer consoles .

Difference is then in the type of games that PS3 and Wii are selling .Wii is selling a lot of budget (Sonic and secret rings ,Brain Academy ,etc) games and bundled software (Wii Play) while the PS3 games are more "traditional " and full price .

Big Brain Academy is budget in UK? It is full price in America.

Sonic and the Secret Rings is budget (at least in America) but only because it is so old. When the PS3 has been out for a while in UK than the price of its older games will drop.

Have they stopped counting PS2 titles or are people just not buying PS2 games any more?

The 360 has a 1 million lead on the PS3 in the UK.

Despite this there are more PS3 titles charting in the top 40 then there are 360 titles.

What is going on?

@ Dallinor

The 360 has a 1 million lead on the PS3 in the UK.

Despite this there are more PS3 titles charting in the top 40 then there are 360 titles.

What is going on?

Probably it's not really 2:1 (we know the PS3 is slightly undertracked compared to Chart Track figures even after the big adjustment, maybe the 360 is a little overtracked).

Although not yet with similar gaps like in other European countries it's interesting to note various multi-platform titles for the PS3 have now started to outsell their 360 counterparts for week 9:

15 (15) [PS3] CALL OF DUTY 4: MODERN WARFARE
18 (14) [360] CALL OF DUTY 4: MODERN WARFARE

31 (23) [PS3] BURNOUT PARADISE
38 (29) [360] BURNOUT PARADISE

40 (26) [PS3] ASSASSIN'S CREED

Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

They still count PS2 games, they still count Xbox & GameCube games too. The top selling PS2 game this week was PES 2008.

I've added a "Top non-charting games" appendix in the OP. Good idea or not?
