As
autumn approaches and some of the bigger new releases begin to hit
our shelves what kind of impact will these have on the Weekly Sales
Charts? The Top 3; Disney/Pixar: Cars, Grand Theft Auto:
Liberty City Stories and NEW Super Mario Bros. at Numbers
1 to 3 respectively hasn’t  changed in the last five weeks,
although games released this week, such as Saints Row, should
turn things on their heads.
This
week only two new entries make it into the Top 20 with Ninety-Nine
Nights for the Xbox360 coming in at number 8 and the
multi-format Reservoir Dogs beginning its life at number 14.
One does wonder whether its position will change drastically when
the Xbox version is released (having been delayed because of a
printing error) or whether this will be more popular with
PlayStation 2 owners alone.
The
original version of The Sims sees a fall since it re-entered
the charts last month, with The Sims 2 making a slow but
steady rise up the charts. Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training: How
Old is Your Brain? is holding steady being in the Top Ten since
its entry on the 10th July this year, while Big Brain
Academy has made a quick rise-and-fall in the charts, falling to
number 19, almost out of the charts already. I guess people trust
the good Doctor to help us use our brains! Thankfully though some of
the dodgy movie tie-ins are being sent on their merry way with Monster
House dropping 8 places in a week and Over the Hedge
sitting at number 17. Another week or two and we should be seeing
the back of them!
