You may wonder why we always report on the second-best game in the UK. Well, it's because nothing ever beats Wii Fit there. You're united by the power of the Balance Board!
So, we're forced to talk about the runner-up every week, and this week sees a new king on the almost-throne: X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena wore the crown last week, but Chart-Track data shows that it was a short-lived reign, with the residents of the UK coming out in droves to partake in some snikting and shockingly violent gameplay.

They still buying that sh** over there!. Each person must be re-buying wii fit each month for so it could feel fresh each time.It's great news for Wolverine origins though, it's a fantastic fun game.

Surely any gamer, regardless of whether they're hardcore would be sad to see a bathroom scale lodged at the top of the video game sales chart seemingly forever. That no video game can ever get to number one in the country because how can they possibly hope to compete with Wii Fit? After all, how can any video game both appeal to the lowest common denominator and cynically exploit insecure people to the degree Wii Fit does?

I'd just like to add that you guys forgot the Wii version of the game (yes, it exists, I just saw it at Wal-Mart).
Anyway, good on them :)

Because it was made with no heart or soul? Because it was made purely to appeal to the lowest common denominator and to make easy money by cynically exploiting insecure people?
