14 DAY TRIAL // The ELSPA has released the all formats sales data for the UK in the last week. Despite previous speculation, Super Mario Galaxy 2 has not hindered Red Dead Redemption. Rockstar San Diego's latest smash hit is still at the top of the charts for the fourth week in a row. Recent data from Take-Two Interactive has revealed that, in three weeks after its launch, the game had already gathered five million sales.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is, however, the most spectacular newcomer, entering the charts at number two, with 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa going down one place to number three. This is an interesting development, given the fact that the World Cup is the biggest event going on right now in the world. A surprising climb to the fourth place in the charts is Rooms: The Main Building, a puzzle title for the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS that was not received well by the critics.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is still not moving from the seventh spot, probably because of the launch of the Resurgence Map Pack last week. Green Day: Rock Band entered at an unspectacular number 14, despite the good reviews and the wider audience the title targeted. Ubisoft's Just Dance and Nintendo's Wii Fit Plus retain their places in the top ten, the former going down one spot to number five, and the latter falling to number six.
Uncharted 2 is back in the top 20 on number 16, having surpassed Just Cause 2, Super Street Fighter IV, Split/Second: Velocity and Battlefield: Bad Company 2. ModNation Racers continues its free-fall, going down four places from number 11 to number 15. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands fared better last week, climbing two places at number 12. Red Dead Redemption domination will be unchallenged this week too, as the only noteworthy release is Toy Story 3.
