Despite Friday's official price cut for the 3DS handheld, only one exclusive title sits in the top 40 best-selling games chart.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D saw a 60 per cent rise in sales compared to last week, taking the game from number 39 to 13 in the charts.
Retailers began cutting the price of the 3DS last week (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2011-08-11-uk-retailers-announce-3ds-price-cuts) ahead of the official reduction, with some selling the console for as little as £115 - less than half its price at launch in March.
Elsewhere in the charts there was only a shuffle of the top titles, with 505 Games' Zumba Fitness still at number one for 12 weeks in total.
The top twenty best-selling games follow:
01 Zumba Fitness
02 LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean
03 Cars 2
04 Dirt 3
05 FIFA 11
06 LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4
07 Just Dance: Extra Songs
