That's right. For the fifth week in a row, Wii Fit is inexplicably still the number one selling "game" in the UK. The sad irony is that Wolverine is one of the few movie-based videogames that doesn't suck, and it has become one of the few movie-based videogames not to top the chart. There's something about which makes me feel sick to my frigging kidneys.
I think this has officially sealed my opinion that the general public is absolutely, unfathomably stupid and that if a nuclear warhead detonated and wiped out the majority of the human race, it would be no greater tragedy than if a fly drowned in some soapy water. Five weeks at the top of the chart, and not even a bloody movie tie-in can beat it. Britain has officially become demented.
Hit the jump for the full chart, which is full of every game that was in last week's chart, because the drooling retards can't stop buying the same crap. Hugh Jackman would be rolling in his grave if he could see this.

Also no Singstar Pop in the top 20 = bad times
Also, lol at snookers.
"Nintendo take a fourth consecutive week at No1 with 'Wii Fit' (-11%), totaling 13 weeks at No1 in all (9 of which have come in 2009) and the title is gradually homing in on the all time record of 18 weeks at No1 on this chart, set back in late 2000 / early 2001 by Eidos' 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' on PS1, Dreamcast and PC."
Just to give you an idea of what wares people in the UK have been buying for quite some time.
ps3 outsold the wii in japan again this month, 2nd month in a row.
Also "#20. WSC Real 09: World Snooker Championships (Really?)
It was the World Snooker Championships this week, so a tie-in game was always going to sell well. However no Rhythm Paradise in the top 10? Fuck you UK.
but perplexed that this actually happened again, cant wait for a weekly post were you actually get to crown a new contender, but lets hope its worth your wait. I have no clue why i keep reading this every week, more importantly why you relentlessly continue to torture yourself Jim by posting about it?
And the game hasn't even been out a week.
Taste is individual specific, but Wii fit really shouldn't still be up there. Neither should FIFA 09.
