Aussie game charts: September 7-13

Can the Fab Four make it to the top of the game charts in their debut week?

5 Comments

One of the year's most anticipated rhythm games, The Beatles: Rock Band, has failed to make it to number one in its first full week of sale. Instead, the Fab Four's video game debut landed them in the seventh, eighth, and ninth places on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii platforms respectively.

Wii Sports Resort is at the top of the pops again this week, maintaining its control of the overall Aussie game charts for the week of September 7-13. Batman: Arkham Asylum had a strong second week, maintaining its third and fourth places, on the PS3 and 360. TB: Rock Band aside, the only other newcomer to last week's charts was Rugby League Challenge on the PSP, which finished the week off at number 10.
