Wii Sports Resort Beats Wolfenstein To Number 1 By 2000 Sales

August 26th, 2009

Yet another piece of video game news coming your way. GfK Chart Track has released another weeks gaming rankings and it appears that Wii Sports Resort have managed to climb back onto the top spot despite the release of the very popular Wolfenstein game.

Wii Sports Resort was previously number 1 on all formats until it was knocked off by Ashes Cricket 2009 for two weeks, however, now it has managed to yet again take top spot. Now that they have reclaimed the top spot, it means that Wii Sports Resort has been the number 1 selling game for 15 weeks this year.

Unfortunately for Activision, their recent release, Wolfenstein wasn’t able to get the number 1 overall formats place. With 2000 less sales that Wii Sports Resort, the game only managed to get to the second place in the all formats chart, although it did get number 1 in the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC charts.

Despite Activision not being able to claim the top spot, they should still be happy that they have 3 of their games all in the top 10 best sellers.

However, Activision and Nintendo might both be knocked off the top spots with the release of Batman: Arkham Asylum this week. This new Batman game has already become popular within the pre-order charts, plus with the demo that was recently released, sites that do video game reviews have been eager to get this game. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the new Batman game jump right to the top spot.

Here are the top 20 games in the all format charts by Chart Track, all of which have been given brilliant video game ratings.
