UK All Format Chart – Week 31
It’s chart time again folks and we have a new game in at Number 1. Soul Calibur 4 manages to scrap it’s way to the top of the charts, scoring at least a first round victory over Wii Fit which has been relegated to number 2. I’m not sure how long SC4 can stay number 1 but anything that halts the onslaught of Wii Fit is a good thing.
Further down the chart and nothing much has changed. With no other significant releases last week only Soul Calibur 4 has made an impact. Mario & Sonic are still doing well ahead of the Olympics. Less than a week away the game is 8th, down a place from last week but surely an advertising campaign is poised to try to push the game higher. Sega’s Official Bejing Olympic game meanwhile is down from 15th to 20th, proving that Hedgehogs and Plumbers doing sports are much more entertaining than real athletes.
Below is the complete list.
