Oh dear – people are actually buying Sega’s utterly rubbish Iron Man game. It’s now at #5 in the chart, up 6 positions. The DS version though is apparently pretty good, so let’s hope that’s the one people have been buying. GTA IV holds onto the top spot, which is no shocker, with Wii Fit still at #2. Mario Kart Wii looks like it’s on its way out of the top ten, already dropping from #5 to #9.
Boom Blox hasn’t entered the top 40 at all, which is both a surprise and a shame, but it does go in at #15 in the Wii chart. Hopefully it’ll rise up a bit once word spreads of its greatness. You’d think that with Steven Spielberg attached EA would have pulled out all the stops on the advertising front.
Anybody want to place a bet on what game will knock GTA IV off the top of the chart? There are actually quite a few big hitters due over the next month or so – Metal Gear Solid 4, Ninja Gaiden II, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Lego Indiana Jones, Rock Band, Alone in the Dark 4 and Haze. My money is on either Metal Gear Solid 4 or Lego Indiana Jones.
Mario Kart will be back in the chart when the print some more copies.
