Aussie Charts: You’re All Among Thieves

By David Wildgoose on October 22, 2009 at 11:00 AM

Exciting times in the top ten this week with no fewer than six brand new entries, including the entire top three.

Uncharted 2, to absolutely nobody’s surprise, leaps (oh yes) straight to number one. There hasn’t been a game that seemingly everyone has been playing since, maybe, GTA IV?

Below it, the release of Wii Fit Plus sees the original Wii Fit vanish like the waistline of a dedicated exergamer. And right down the bottom it’s good to see Tim Schafer score a bonafide top ten hit!

All Format Full-Priced Games Top 10 for the w/e October 18:

1. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)
2. Wii Fit Plus (Wii)
3. Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games (Wii)
4. Halo 3: ODST (360)
5. Wii Sports Resort (Wii)
6. Wii Play (Wii)Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box (DS)
7. FIFA 10 (PS3)
8. Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games (DS)
9. Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising (360)
10. Brütal Legend (360)

    Hang on – this is Uncharted 2’s first week and yes it hit #1 but why is that the ONLY game everyone has been playing since well, GTA IV?

    I did buy Uncharted and LOVE IT. But umm, well, ODST sold a heck of a lot first week OH and second week! AND is still in the Top 5. For the first week and even going into the second, everyone on my friends list was either play ODST or Halo 3.

    Wii Sports Resort sold ALOT on first week sales. Oh did i mention that Wii Fit topped the weekly list, week after week. I’m sure thats OUTSOLD GTA IV probably in Australia.

    Perhaps you should rephrase your statement and say its probably the most played game on the PS3 since, well, GTA IV.

    Oh and EVERYONE would probably be on a Wii. Not third place PS3.

      Apparently you don’t know what a hyperbole is.
