RETAIL CHARTS


[ANALYSIS] by Dominic Sacco


505 GAMES enjoyed yet another week at the top of the game sales chart with Zumba Fitness.


It’s the fourth consecutive week at No.1 for the fitness game, which has now claimed the top spot for seven weeks in total.


CODEMASTERSsaw its Dirt 3 racer rev up five places from No.7 to No.2 following a 28 per cent week-on-week sales rise. The Transformers: Dark of the Moonmovie tie-in game from ACTIVISION climbed three positions to No.6. This was boosted by price promotions at retail and increased exposure from the launch of the film.


One of the biggest movers this week was Call of Duty: Black Ops. The best-selling game of 2010 jumped ten positions from No.17 to re- enter the Top Ten at No.7. Sales of the war FPS were up 50 per cent week-on-week after the Annihilationmap pack arrived on Xbox Live.


Tennis games Virtua Tennis 4 from SEGA and Top Spin 4 from 2K GAMES continued to sell well following Wimbledon, dropping just one place to No.6 and two spots to No.10 respectively.


There was little activity elsewhere in the Top 40 due to a small number of new releases hitting shelves last week. Expect more chart movement next week following the release of Sega’s Captain America: Super Soldier, UBISOFT’S Just Dance 2: Extra Songsand NAMCO BANDAI’S Dream Trigger 3Dwhich arrives on the Nintendo 3DS today (Friday, July 15th).
