[ANALYSIS] by James Batchelor
ZUMBA FITNESS keeps 505 GAMES at the top of the charts for a second consecutive week,
despite a sales drop of eight per cent.
Sales of the Xbox 360 version rose by 14 per cent. But the Wii version still accounts for 90 per cent of this week’s purchases, despite a 10 per cent drop for the format.
LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Warsreturns to No.2, climbing one place and overtaking Crysis 2, which saw its weekly sales fall by 32 per cent.
EA has the strongest presence in the Top 10 with four titles. FIFA 11claims eight places thanks to an 88 per cent rise in sales, driven by retailer promotions. Meanwhile, Tiger Woods 12 drops one place to No.5 and Shift 2 Unleashedslips five places to No.10.
The rest of the Top 10 is filled in by the latest Pokémonduo (Blackat No.7, Whiteat No.8) and military shooters. Homefrontfrom THQ is a non-mover at No.6, while ACTIVISION’s Call of Duty: Black Opsrises to No.9.
The beginning of the Easter sales propelled games back into the Top 40. ROCKSTAR, in particular, benefitted as Red Dead Redemption re-entered the charts at No.13, thanks to a whopping 458 per cent rise in sales.
The only new SKUs to enter the Top 40 technically class as a re-entry. UBISOFT’s Michael Jackson: The Experience reappears at No.15 thanks to the launch of the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. The former accounted for 64 per cent of the game’s total sales.
