So to round of it has been a damn good year for Nintendo on Chart track, when was the last time Nintendo had a year like this in Britain? Had to be pst N64.
Raz little mistake Rayman should be No.3 and Red Steel No.4 you silly fool.
So, that means GT Pro Series has been booted from the Top 10, failing to succeed like Asphalt Urban GT did when launched with the DS in March 2005.
Because both those games are crap?
Oh god, all those poor kids getting Ubisoft games like Monster truck 4x4 for Christmas.

But you get a plastic wheel!
Well, to put a long story short, everyone who wanted a Wii before XMAS already has one, so I'm surprised games are still selling so well, especially Zelda. Since like 72% of Wii owners had it on launch, that means that the GC version must have helped considerably for it to still be at #10...
YAY FOR GAMECUBE!
Ashcroft, you do know that this week Rayman was joined by its PC, PS2 and GBA versions as well? They just didn't do anything on their respective Top 20s... But clearly there was enough impact to nudge it ahead of Red Steel.
Great to see Zelda holding on so well thanks to the GC version. It'd definitely be interesting to see how easy it is to get that version, actually. If people can let us know if they see it in stores around the country that'd be great
"Merr-EA Christmas"?? Oh dear.
Monster Truck 4x4 is Ubisoft too? Well bugger me. It's a shame a developer I'm less meh about didn't climb onboard the Wii train so readily. Raving Rabbits actually looks pretty good, but that's because the rabbits look like they've come from Aardman land. Rayman as a character is detestable.
Oh, and yay Zelda.

Well, the GC version of Zelda was surprisingly easy to find, my local GAME (in Penzance if anyone wants to know) hasn't really sold a brand new GC game for a year. But my mum simply walked in there, asked for it & picked it up. Very surprising, I guess it's selling really well isn't it? It was GC's last hope, I was expecting it to be COMPLETELY overshadowed by the Wii version. Good people still have faith.
You where right about Sonic Rush having a good year it has clocked over 1m sales worldwide, along with Mario Hoops and FF3.
Off topic Nintendogs 10m crazy shit
As for Zelda GC it is no.6 in the French top 20 and the Wii version is no.1 annd vice versa in the Finnish Charts yes a gamecube game topped an all format chart who would of belives that.
I got Zelda for GC about a week ago and i walked right into the store picked up paid for it and walked out. It was not hard to find at all. And i was at the store yesterday and it looked like they still had plenty of copies.
