The latest self-help game from Nintendo, Sight Training, has claimed the number one spot in the overall Australian game charts, according to data trackers GfK Australia. Sight Training was the country's best-selling game for the week of January 21 to January 27, up from eighth spot the previous week.

Nintendo dominates this week's charts, with eight out the overall top 10 being Nintendo first-party games. More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old Is Your Brain? and Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old Is Your Brain? have taken the second and third places, respectively. The previous week's chart topper, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, still remains in the chart, but fell four spots to number five. The PlayStation 3 version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare sits in the sixth place, with the 360 version failing to make it into the top 10. Finishing off the week at number 10 is Nintendogs: Dalmatian and Friends.
