Apparently, another week's gone by already and we've got another set of Australian Weekly Video Game Charts to share with you. Some things have changed, some have stayed the same, and it is - as always - an interesting little snapshot of what we, as a country, are doing with our consoles.
To start things off, it seems that the Australian public got back on the fitness bandwagon just before the Olympics exploded onto our screens, with the top selling "game" being a little title from Nintendo that rewards you for standing still and having perfect posture. The PC is still visited by the second incarnation of their simulated pals, while the Xbox 360 and PS3 have been ravaged by a new fighty title of very high calibre. PS2 gamers are still having a very vocal party, the DS is at the Olympics with a hedgehog and a plumber, and the PSP hangs out with a robotic secret agent. Phew!
