Aussie game charts: May 26-June 1

GTAIV drops, while Wii Fit continues to throw its weight around with Australian gamers.

Australia's fascination with Wii Fit carries on, as the game continues to have its feet placed firmly in the number one spot in the overall Australian games chart, according to data trackers GfK Australia.

Mario Kart has moved up into second position for the week of May 26- June 1, and the Wii Play bundle trails closely behind at number three. Interestingly, Grand Theft Auto IV has fallen, with the Xbox 360 version in fourth and the PlayStation 3 in fifth. The WoW challenger--Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures--is down one from the week before, ending up in sixth spot. Haze for the PS3 has risen two places to number eight, while Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games fell to number nine. Finishing up the week at number 10 is the SingStar Party bundle on PS2. The stand-alone version can be found slightly higher at charts in the seventh place.

In other charts news, the PlayStation 2 top 10 are very karaoke-centric this week, with six of the most popular titles being held by SingStar games.

All sales stats, including console-by-console breakdowns, can be found below:

    Cant believe there was so much complaining about Halo 3 being over rated.... GTA IV is San Andreas just with a few little more gliches.... I got as far as Playboys missions before putting it away and going back to Mass Effect / COD 4
