Retailers around the world are bracing themselves for an onslaught of buyers wanting one game and one game only (it's currently only 6pm Monday on the US West Coast), so current predictions are that next week's charts will be a bit of a one-horse race.
Until then though, we've got the most recently updated Australian Weekly Video Game Charts for you, showing off all the titles that people were picking up in the week ending April 20th. I think that the school holiday influence is showing.
This week, we see a hedgehog and a plumber win gold in the overall charts! Simulated PC people are enjoying cooking in the bath, while a mysterious killer from the Middle Ages hangs out on Xbox 360. PS3 gamers are hangin' out in the midst of a modern battle, PS2 prefers the power of heroic rock, the DS is testing its cranial capacity, and the PSP is still a bit godlike and chainy.
