Wii Fit restocked in UK, shoots back on top of charts
Looks like the only reason Lego Indy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl were enjoying their spots on top of the UK video game charts were because of the short supply of Wii Fit. Now that the game’s been resupplied, the game’s jumped back to top spot in the UK charts. What else is new in the charts? Check it out in the full article.
When Wii Fit first debuted on the UK video game charts back in April, it shot to the top as the third largest video game launch in the region ever. The game’s been conspicuously absent from the top spots in the last few weeks though.
Apparent, this wasn’t because it’s popularity was waning – stocks were just in short supply. Now that stocks of the shelves have found themselves adequately resupplied, the game shot back on top of the charts. On that note, you’d better grab yourself a copy now in case supplies run out again.
The UK charts experienced a major reshuffling this week, though only one new game managed to make itself to the top 20, and this is Wall-E. Kung Fu Panda reappears on 9th place after being on 16th last week, while Lego Indy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl were knocked down a peg with Wii Fit’s rise.
