LucasArts put the skids on GTA IV’s 5-week run at the top of the All Formats Chart with the multi-format ‘Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures’ outselling it this week by almost 3 to 1. Released 2 weeks after the new Indiana Jones film, and on the back of a successful run of Lego-themed Star Wars titles, LucasArts claims top spot for the first time since ‘Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy’ back in W38 2006. Sales are split relatively evenly across the formats with the Wii version the most successful, while the PS2 version outsells the PS3 version (Wii 27%, Xbox 360 22%, PS2 20%, PS3 17%, DS 13%, PC 2%). All versions (except PC) top their respective charts with GTA IV down to No2 on Xbox 360 and PS3. GTA IV only just manages to grab No2 in the All Formats Chart after a 44% drop in sales, pressured by Codemasters’ ‘Race Driver: GRID’ which has to settle for a drop of one place to No3 (3,000 sales separating it from GTA IV). Microsoft claim No6 in the All Formats Chart with ‘Ninja Gaiden II’ (No3 in the Xbox 360 Chart), while a new entry from Namco Bandai/Atari – ‘Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit’ at No11 and a new Wii party game ‘Sports Island’ from Konami at No14 just fail to break into the All Formats Top 10. Renewed stock of ‘Link’s Crossbow Training’ sees it re-enter at No24, while the release of the PC version of ‘Mass Effect’ pushes it back into the All Formats Chart at No26, with a No2 debut on the PC chart.

Wow at Lego Indy beating out NGII with all versions but DS and PS3. Didn't see that coming, though I guess I should have.

And Boom Blox nooo, go higher dammit, not lower!

[DC R1D3R]

Its not in the top 50 of Wii only chart, I think they haven't re-shipped yet and all of the original shipment is gone.

[felipeko]

wow @ wii and huh @ wii fit wii fit looks like a total failure in UK (probably it isnt though)

What?
From last week:

while continued stock problems mean ‘Wii Fit’ remains outside the All Formats Top 40 – and even drops out of the Top 40 Wii Chart.

Oh, and btw, Wii has now a top 50 chart... that's nice..

[Captain Smoker]

wow @ wii and huh @ wii fit wii fit looks like a total failure in UK (probably it isnt though)

Really? I think it will bet there all year

[kottila]

wow @ wii and huh @ wii fit wii fit looks like a total failure in UK (probably it isnt though) i expect a serious bump once the actual Olympics start

The cheapest used Wii Fit on amazon.co.uk is selling for $245

[batbeg]

WTF @ Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games This game won´t die in UK. o_O

Sega expect it be in the Top 5 selling games this Christmas season. No, it won't die.

Line the pockets of Sega, baby! Restore them their former glory!

The cheapest used Wii Fit on amazon.co.uk is selling for $245

Sweet Jesus. Poor Nintendo are probably desperate to cash in on this.

Edit:

9 10 BOOM BLOX EA LA EA GAMES ELECTRONIC ARTS

So in a way, it did go up. Yay!

Edit: LIES! I didn't see that the first number is last week, dammit >:( :(

[Captain Smoker]

Omg, Wii Fit isn´t even in the Wii Top50. o_O

[kottila]

Oh, and btw, Wii has now a top 50 chart... that's nice..

No Zack and Wiki or NMH even in top 30 :(

[McBradders]

Really? I think it will bet there all year

Mixed blessing.

[Dascu]

Cool. :) Wii UK Top50: ...

CTRL+F "No More Heroes"

:(

[TheGreatDave]

Rock Band even being in the charts surprises the hell out of me.

Its the turd cake you just have to eat, I guess.

[slaughterking]

A multiplatform game on Wii beating the 360 version in its launch week is something you don't see every day. :o

[FabCam]

Wow at the Lego Indy game. They must be raking in the cash.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Quite surprised to see Lego Indy being that popular and DBZ that unpopular. I think in Spain it'll be the other way around...

[FF_VIII]

Really? I think it will bet there all year

It's dropping every week.

Don't see it being there next week.

[mr_bishiuk]

Mixed blessing.

The game is only £40 and can be used with the GH3 guitar, I imagine a lot of people (like myself) have done that and will get the rest when they are feeling a bit flush

[Captain Smoker]

A multiplatform game on Wii beating the 360 version in its launch week is something you don't see every day. :o

3rd Parties don´t sell on the Wii.

[mr_bishiuk]

It's dropping every week. Don't see it being there next week.

I do, it'll have legs like the GH games and will probably be a top seller at Christmas

[830920]

Lego Indiana Jones is a BEAST!

[felipeko]

From chart track:

LucasArts put the skids on GTA IV’s 5-week run at the top of the All Formats Chart with the multi-format ‘Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures’ outselling it this week by almost 3 to 1. Released 2 weeks after the new Indiana Jones film, and on the back of a successful run of Lego-themed Star Wars titles, LucasArts claims top spot for the first time since ‘Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy’ back in W38 2006. Sales are split relatively evenly across the formats with the Wii version the most successful, while the PS2 version outsells the PS3 version (Wii 27%, Xbox 360 22%, PS2 20%, PS3 17%, DS 13%, PC 2%). All versions (except PC) top their respective charts with GTA IV down to No2 on Xbox 360 and PS3. GTA IV only just manages to grab No2 in the All Formats Chart after a 44% drop in sales, pressured by Codemasters’ ‘Race Driver: GRID’ which has to settle for a drop of one place to No3 (3,000 sales separating it from GTA IV). Microsoft claim No6 in the All Formats Chart with ‘Ninja Gaiden II’ (No3 in the Xbox 360 Chart), while a new entry from Namco Bandai/Atari – ‘Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit’ at No11 and a new Wii party game ‘Sports Island’ from Konami at No14 just fail to break into the All Formats Top 10. Renewed stock of ‘Link’s Crossbow Training’ sees it re-enter at No24, while the release of the PC version of ‘Mass Effect’ pushes it back into the All Formats Chart at No26, with a No2 debut on the PC chart.

It's something you see every week though GH3 and Sega Tennis :P.

In my search for Wii Fit in Denmark I've come to learn that pretty much every single store have been sold out on stock since early May, and they wont get any new supplies until mid/end-july...

So 2½ month without Wii Fit in Denmark, and it's probably the same picture all over Europe.

1 week of sales and then...

wow @ wii and huh @ wii fit wii fit looks like a total failure in UK (probably it isnt though)

joke post? They have serious supply issues for Wii Fit.

True. I was talking about the "launch week" for a reason, though. :p

Get used to it. The Wii is right on course for PS2 style domination in the UK, this is only the beginning.

Sega really look to have bagged the highest selling title in the UK ever here, I don't see any reason why Mario & Sonic's sales are going to wane later this year, on the contrary with the Olympics and Christmas to come, its sales will probably rise quite significantly.

Any stock issues with Lego Indy? Congrats to Traveler's Tales. They totally deserve it.

Gettign the feeling Nintendo is moving all their existing wiiboard stock to usa due to demand there.

thats why i said looks like..

i was implying that the fact that it didnt chart for like 3 weeks in a row now may give someone a wrong idea..

Yes and the 3rd Parties are also doing well in the UK. :)

10 Wii 3rd Parties this week in the Top40 [vs. 4 N-games, 2 bundled with hardware] and 41 in the Wii Top50.

[Talamius]

As well as Wii has done in the UK, Lego Indy Wii being the top seller is an absolute stunner. Sign of the times, I suppose. I thought 3rd party games don't sell? :P

Where are people buying Links Crossbow training in the UK?
As i want it at non inflated prices.

Wow. Wii took more than a quarter of total Lego Indy sales and beat both PS2 and Xbox360 (and the other versions of course). I didn't expect that. Lego Indy joins GH 3, PES 2008 and Sega Superstar Tennis as recent third party successes on Wii. :)

Wii is doing great btw, 14 titles in the top 40 despite 10 new releases (SKUs).

GTA still very strong.

Nintendo shouldn't have launched Wii Fit in Europe if they can't meet demand beyond first shipments because of America. They regulary have shortages but this is really stretching it.

[RBH]

Decent debut for Ninja Gaiden II, and I hope that it has some legs.

>:(

Not too surprising since the 360 version didn't perform that great in the UK.

Invest in one of these (its an EXACT replica of the perfect shot, trust me I have both of them) and House of the Dead. You'll thank me later.
