Aussie game charts: July 14-20

Nintendo's smash-hit brawler continues to dominate the charts down under.

17 Comments

Hot on the heels of this week's announcement that Nintendo's Wii has sold 500,000 units down under, the latest batch of Australian data tracker GfK's figures shows that seven out of the top 10 games in the overall Australian games chart are on Nintendo platforms. Taking out the number one spot was Super Smash Bros. Brawl, representing its second week at the top of the charts.

In second place was the Wii Play Wiimote bundle, knocking Mario Kart Wii down one place to the number three position for the week of July 14-20. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games on Wii climbed up one spot to number four, while Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? was right behind it in fifth. Guitar Hero: On Tour for the Nintendo DS continues to rock steadily, landing in the sixth spot, while Activision's other entry into the charts, Kung Fu Panda on the PlayStation 2, moved up into number seven. Grand Theft Auto IV on the PlayStation 3 has returned to the chart this week, taking out the eighth place, while the 360 version was out of the overall top 10, but made a strong stand at number one in the platform-specific chart. After two weeks on sale, Buzz! Quiz TV on PlayStation 3 has finally made it into the charts, slipping into number nine. Rounding out the week at number 10 is More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old Is Your Brain?

@ BLuFAlc0n I wouldn't saay trashing as compared to the last gen this is more balanced and while its quite obvious the Wii is winning thus far, the 360 has a strong established market. No idea about where the PS3 is going.

Did anybody else see that they are selling PS2 games for over $50 (and more to the point soembody is buying them) somewhere in Australia. I recon it must be Myers and D-J's that haven't cleared out their stock yet.
