Mario Kart Dominates Amazon Charts

Nintendo is in full force on leading retailer Amazon's charts, taking 6 positions in the multiplatform top 10.

Overall Top 10

01. Mario Kart - Nintendo (Wii)
02. Grand Theft Auto IV � Rockstar (360)
03. Grand Theft Auto IV � Rockstar (PS3)
04. Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures�Eidos (PC)

08. Petz Catz 2 � Ubisoft (Wii)
09. Super Smash Bros. Brawl � Nintendo (Wii)
10. Ninja Gaiden 2* � Tecmo (360)

Mario Kart Wii sits firmly in the US retailer's ranks, followed closely by Rockstar's GTAIV for Xbox 360 and PS3. Alongside the Mushroom Kingdom's latest racer sits a slew of popular Wii titles, from Activision's Guitar Hero bundle to Nintendo's own Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

The top 10 Wii chart is a similar affair, also including EA's Boom Blox and a surprising hit from Namco Bandai, We Ski.

Nicely done MKWii, though i really did expect Brawl to do a little better.

In the DS section its nice to see MKDS doing so well, and i cannot believe Mario Party DS is in there, its so bloody popular

If you see the Family Ski box you\'ll realise why it\'s getting attention...it has Wii Balance Board scrawled across the front! And it\'ll help that Nintendo is publishing it as well (in Europe, that is)...

A propper game deserves top, well done Mario Kart Wii!
GT4 was no surprise either, But i would of thought SSBB would have done better, but maybe its becuase its been out for a long time in America.
