Ashes Cricket 2009 on the PlayStation 3 hit a six last week, making its debut at number four in the overall game charts according to data trackers GfK Australia. Wii Sports Resort firmly held on to its spot at the top of the charts for the week of August 3-9.

Nintendo continued its strong presence in the charts with seven of the top 10 games developed by the house of Mario. The Sims 3 on the PC moved up two spots into sixth place, while the only other EA game in the charts, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on the Wii, dropped down into number 10.
