Australian sales charts, week ending 15/07/07

PALGN News | Order is restored.

It seems the charts have returned to business as usual after going rather mental last week. Back to number one is Pokemon Diamond - presumably it will stay there for longer than a week this time. Transformers is up four spots to two this week, as the movie takes over cinemas across the country. It's the other half of the Pokemon tag-team - Pearl - at three. At four for the third week in a row - a rarity in the charts - is Singstar Pop Hits on the PS2. Debuting at five is More Brain Training - if the first game was any indication, this one will be popular.

Speaking of the first game, Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training, it's at six. AFL Premiership 2007 was content to hold firm at seven, coming in rather for a relatively new AFL title. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition comes in at number eight. It's still a rather mint game, too - you can read Phil's review here. The Eyetoy: Sports bundle made a re-entry at nine. Closing out the charts is last week's inexplicable number one - Ice Age 2: The Meltdown for the Nintendo DS.

The charts are updated weekly and are provided by the beautiful and lovely people at GfK.

Interesting to see RE4:Wii making the list as I'm quite sure that the gamecube version never made it to the top 10.

There were about 60k more gamecubes sold than Wii's so far in Australia so this is strange. Perhaps software purchasing on a whole is down, meaning that RE4Wii made the list, even with medicore sales? Or possibly that everyone had given up on their gamecubes and didn't want to pay $110 for the game back when it was released?

Looking down the Top 10 All-Format list is a bit of a case of deja vu.

Playstation 2. DS. Playstation 2. DS. Playstation 2. DS.

By the way - anyone know what the highest-selling consoles in Australia might be? I'm stumped.

The Wii is having a game drought, and how many 'cubes where sold when it came out here in Aus? BTW what's the average age demographic for the Gamecube?

Pretty good to debut on 8 though at a high price none the less, considering everyone's already bought on the PS2 and Cube.

Looks like Nintendo's dominance is rolling into Australia. Got to love the Nintendo.

Hmm, still not convinced about this "expanding the market" mantra from Nintendo. All bar two of the games in the DS top ten are exactly the same games/kind of games that sold well on GBA...

Mean while PS2 is showing a far more "non-gamer" friendly top ten with six games just about anyone could pick up and play.

I think we're all missing the most important revelation here.

Dogz 2 has risen to a staggering 5 on the GBA charts, while Catz 2006 has only managed to claw its way up to 9 on the DS charts.

Casual games... hardcore games... global warming... Who cares. The era of cat dominance is at an end. Weep, children, at its passing.
