http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/05/awiecg24maymain99999.jpgGrand Theft Auto IV continues to show up the competition across Europe this week, with either the PS3 (http://www.ps3fanboy.com) or Xbox 360 (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com) edition claiming top spot everywhere. Wii pair Wii Fit (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/photos/wii-fit/731093/full/) and Game Night (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/category/game-night/) favorite Mario Kart Wii (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/25/wii-fanboy-review-mario-kart-wii/) are close behind in most places (because we're optimists, we're now going to consider third as the new first), though yours truly would love to know where anybody is finding Mario Kart in the UK -- I hit the high street to find a copy for a friend a few days back, with zero success.

Further down the charts, Boom Blox (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/07/metareview-boom-blox/) made (what could almost be described as) an impact in its second week on sale, soaring from outside the Top 40 to 19th in the UK, while Super Mario Galaxy (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/09/the-hidden-emotional-depths-of-super-mario-galaxy/) and Guitar Hero III (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/12/uk-duo-get-world-record-playing-guitar-hero-iii-in-uk/) rejoined the top ten in Holland and Sweden respectively. No Irish charts this week, we're afraid, but here's a hunch we had: Grand Theft Auto IV probably sold a lot.
