Rockstar epic’s sales drop 41 per cent; Wii Fit holds onto second position
Rockstar’s GTA IV has enjoyed a third week at the top of ChartTrack/ELSPA’s All Formats chart in the UK.
The free-roaming title keeps Wii Fit in second spot – despite a dip in sales of 41 per cent. However, Nintendo’s health-promoting title also suffers on the High Street, with sales down 52 per cent.
The week’s highest climber is Mario Kart Wii, which jumps up from ninth to third – given a boost by renewed stock levels. Wii Play drops down from third spot to fifth.
Nintendo formats dominate the All Formats Top 40 with 20 format exclusives, whilst 28 games from the Top 40 are selling best on Nintendo formats.
Sega still have two titles in the Top Ten. Mario & Sonic holds on to fourth as and Iron Man: The Official Videogame drops from fifth to seventh.

Nintendo Juggernaut
Dayum! Nintendo has the best selling format in 28 of the top 40?
How many versions of WiiPlay are there?
Anyways, good to see Mario Kart Wii moving up. Enjoying the hell (and with the blue and red shells it can be hell!) out of it. You folks in the UK have only a few more weeks before Brawl...hope you're not TOO disappointed with the online.
Now the wait for Gears 2, Resistance 2, Too Human and MGS (none of which will boost sales for the 360 and PS3, but who cares!!?!?!?).
