In all the recent fuss, the poor video game charts were on a piece of paper that got lost on my desk! I've found them today though, so I can tell you all about who was topping the game sales in Australia for the week ending 20th July. Perhaps more eloquently, I can tell you who was not topping the game sales - the Xbox 360, which does not appear in the overall top 10 at all, which instead features four Wii titles, three DS, two PS3 and a lonely PS2 game snuck in there, too. Interesting.
Again, the majority of Australian gamers were out in force, snapping up copies of a smashing Wii brawler. The PC fans are heeding the call of a modern war, Xbox 360 and PS3 are hanging out in Liberty City (...more on Sony's side though, it seems), the PS2 is eating bamboo with its new fighting friend, DS owners are still testing their mental capacities, and the PSP has run into a robotic secret agent!
