It's-a me, Mario!

Everybody's favourite Italian plumber Mario has blasted his way to number one in the overall Australian game chart, according to data trackers GfK Australia.

Need for Speed ProStreet for the PlayStation 2 climbed three spots from last week, moving into second place on the overall charts, though the Xbox 360 version of the same game only made it to number six. WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2008 on the PlayStation 2, which had spent the previous two weeks on top of the chart, fell to third spot. More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old Is Your Brain? on the Nintendo DS continues to consistently make it into the overall charts and this week took out the eighth position. The Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree bundle, which comes with an extra Wii Remote, finished off the week at number 10 for the week of November 26 to December 2.

Despite all of its pizzazz, Mass Effect failed to break into the top 10 overall game chart this week, only making it to number six on the Xbox 360-specific chart.

    It was somewhat predictable to see the 3 leading consol on the market having sold the most games(Wii,ps2,360) and Mario always at the top when he come out of the closet! I really want the sells for the whole year, it will be interesting to analyse all of them togheter.

    In Australia, new PC games can range anywhere from $20 to $100, whilst DS are usually $40 to $60.

    And you rarely if ever see a 360 or PS3 game under $80.

    Wii is more flexible, ranging from $80 to $100, same as the PS2.

    PSP games are slightly more expensive then DS games all up.

    To explain why all this is so is way too complicated, and would probably need a Economics major, an Australian one.

    Not only produce more Wiis, but please produce more quality games so i don't have droughts and allow my wii to collect dust until you guys come up with a new quality game.

  • RTRGRZA

    You don't need to be a genius to see Mario at the top of the list. Also, I'm not surprised Crysis is behind CoD4.

    I got my copy of SMG, as expected it is at the top of the charts and should be bought by all Wii owners.
