via MCV


Activision Blizzard’s Call of Duty: World at War has achieved its fourth consecutive week at the top of ELSPA/GfK-ChartTrack All Formats Top 40 Chart, fending off advances from a range of new entries.

No new entry lands higher than No.22, which goes to the PC version of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto IV. Nintendo and Ubisoft’s latest releases, Animal Crossing: Let’s Go To The City and Prince Of Persia came in at No.26 and No.30 respectively, despite the anticipation surrounding each title.

Despite failing to enter the Top 40 upon release, Sonic Unleashed finally makes it into the charts at No.33, while the final new entry, Sony’s SingStar ABBA, appears at No.40.

Several titles rose significantly through the chart: WWE SmackDown Vs RAW 2009, up from No.22 to No.14; Far Cry 2, up from No.28 to No.17; and Fable II, up from No.35 to No.19.

Nintendo continues to fare particularly well in the Top 40, with four titles in the Top 10, including Mario Kart Wii in second place, Brain Training in fourth, and Wii Fit and Wii Play in eighth and ninth respectively.
