Well, we've finally managed to catch up with the charts - here are the latest reports, letting us know what people were buying in the week leading up to August 10th.
As much as it's all just a lot of the same titles reshuffled, there's been a bit more shuffling this week than there has been recently. It's good to see the game based on the Beijing Olympics is still doing well, too!
Health and well-being is a bit of a theme this week - with gamers apparently Wii owners, fond of standing perfectly still and jogging on the spot. The PC fans among us have returned once more to Azeroth, Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers are experiencing the soul of fighting, PS2 rocks out with Steven Tyler, DS is still at the Olympic games with a plumber (and his friends), and the PSP is still a robotic secret agent.
