Aussie game charts: May 5-May 11

Wii Fit ends Grand Theft Auto IV's reign at the top of the Australian charts.

11 Comments

Despite Grand Theft Auto IV breaking entertainment records around the world, Wii Fit has managed to dethrone Rockstar's open-world actioner from the top of the Australian game charts, according to data trackers GfK Australia. Wii Fit launched around Australia the week immediately after GTAIV, limiting GTAIV's reign at the top to only one week.

Grand Theft Auto IV for the Xbox 360 is at number two, whereas the PS3 version trails behind at number three for the week of May 5 to May 11. Wii Play has retained its spot in fourth from the previous week, but Mario Kart Wii fell two places to number five. Nintendo's popular Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? franchise lay claim to both the sixth and seventh positions, respectively. Namco's light-gun shooter for the PS3, Time Crisis 4, has fallen to number eight. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games on the Wii is more than acquainted with the chart and has managed to maintain its hold over the ninth spot. The last game to make it into the charts is Gran Turismo 5 Prologue at number 10.

In other charts news, the PC chart is still being led by The Sims 2: Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff. This is its fourth week at the top of the PC chart.
