Nintendo video games account for 14 of the top 20 in Canada in August

TORONTO — Nintendo continues to dominate the video game sales chart in Canada, accounting for 14 of the top 20 titles - including six of the top 10 - in August.

"Wii Fit" moved into top spot, bumping "Mario Kart," also for the Wii, into second place, according to the NPD Group which tracks the industry.

Electronic Arts' "Madden NFL 09" entered the chart in third (Xbox 36) and fifth (PlayStation 3), with "Wii Play" sandwiched in fourth.

The top 20 featured seven games for the Wii and seven for the Nintendo DS. The Xbox 360 had three titles compared to two for the PlayStation 3 and one for the PlayStation 2.

Interesting.

Whereas MKWii sold 1/4.5 of Madden 360 in USA (VGC), it outsold it in Canada.

Thus, I expect our number of Madden 360 USA NPD to be a little low.

Hehe, that's actually quite funny.

And for my own response, I meant for all the Madden's, not just the 360 one (I cannot edit for some reason).
