15 Comments

Halo Wars continues to hold strong in the overall Australian game charts, maintaining the top spot last week according to data trackers GfK Australia.

Wii Fit pulled a sneaky one on Killzone 2, stealing the second place for the week of March 2-8. Despite losing out to Wii Fit, Killzone 2 still managed to sell enough copies to find itself sitting in the third spot. Sega's Empire: Total War debuted at number four after just four days of sales. Mario Kart Wii climbed up one spot, landing right in the middle at fifth place. Super Smash Bros. Brawl returns to the charts from a three-week break, taking out sixth place. The Wii version of Guitar Hero World Tour continues to be the standout version of the game, claiming the seventh spot. Street Fighter IV fell several places from the previous week, with the PlayStation 3 version claiming the eighth position, while the Xbox 360 version only managed to make the Xbox 360-specific chart. The PS3 version of Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection was at number nine, just above Super Mario Galaxy in 10th.
