Aussie game charts: November 17-23

Sony making the <i>Money, Money, Money</i> thanks to SingStar ABBA's chart-topping performance.

9 Comments

While the Swedish pop group ABBA are no strangers to topping music charts around the globe, the game charts are a slightly different frontier for them. According to data trackers GfK Australia, SingStar ABBA for the PlayStation 2 has topped the overall Australian game chrts, knocking last week's number one, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, down to number four.

For a while there, it looked like Wii Fit may fall off the top 10 completely, but it's made an impressive comeback, claiming the second spot for the week of November 17-23. Directly below it is Wii Music in third place. Smack-bang in the middle of the chart, at number five, is the Wii Play and Wiimote bundle. The PlayStation 3 version of Call of Duty: World at War has fared significantly better than its 360 cousin, taking out the sixth position, while the 360 version narrowly made it into the charts at number nine. Marcus Fenix and Delta Squad dropped down two places from the previous week, into seventh spot. Mario Kart Wii returns to the top 10, but only managed to snag the eighth place. The final game for the week is WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 for PS2 at 10th spot.
