Chart Attack: Another Rep At No.1 For Wii Fit News
Nintendo's Wii Fit tops the UK charts for the third week running - CoD still holding on at No.2...
By Gwynne DixonPosted: 03/02/2009
It's another week atop the UK Charts for Wii Fit, which has now notched up three weeks on the trot at No.1 and eight total weeks atop the charts since it was released last spring.
Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty: World at War is refusing to let go of No.2, hanging on for the fifth week running despite an 11% drop in sales over the last week. Having spent 12 weeks on the charts in total, the game has never dropped below No.2, enjoying six of these weeks at No.1.
The only new entry into the top 10 this week is Need For Speed: Undercover, which re-entered at No.10 and pushed another EA title, The Lord of the Rings: Conquest, into No.11 from No.5 last week.
The remaining seven games in the top 10 were also there last week, although all but one of them have swapped positions. FIFA 09 moves up one place to No.3, Professor Layton jumps from No.10 to No.4, while Skate 2 drops two places to No.5.
The bottom half of the top ten is then made up of Mario Kart Wii at No.6 (up two places), Wii Play at No.7 (down one), My Fitness Coach at No.8 (also down one), and then Tomb Raider: Underworld holding its No.9 position from last week.
Those are the figures for Chart Track's all formats chart, which calculates the total sales for a game across all the platforms it was released on. The individual formats chart, which calculates sales for the individual SKUs of each game, reveals that Microsoft's Xbox 360 is the best represented console on the chart this week with 13 games in the top 40:
When this is compared to the same figures since the beginning of the year, you can clearly see how the PS3 is on a steady delcine, the Wii and Xbox 360 are fighting for superiority, and Nintendo's DS is on the rise:

The Wii is great. The Wii Fit helps keep me active. Even though it is not as good as playing an actual sport, its a good alternative.

That has to be one of the most stupid comments I've ever read.

Been thinking of getting this. Heard both good n' bad reviews (and couple cautionary things from real fitness xprts). Sounds like they should've market Bal Board as new game component and the games as actual separate games/programs and let people be surprised at any weight loss seen rather than tout it as an exercise game-program thing. Too many opportunities for "slingshots" if ya know what I mean.
