UK Charts: Yes, more Wii Fit! photo

Amazing. Wii Fit is still, for some reason, at the top of the UK chart despite it being over a year old and despite the fact that surely everybody who wants one must already have one. I blame that idiot Wardrox, who purchased one last week like a mongoloid. This is all his fault.

Chronicles of Riddick debuts at number two this week, with Vin Diesel unable to topple the mighty giant that is Nintendo's interactive fitness video. The rest of the chart will give you a Groundhog Day feeling, since we've seen it all before. Yet more Professor Layton, yet more FIFA, yet more Call of Duty and yet more Carnival: Funfair Games

Would British gamers mind terribly if I returned to England with a shotgun and just dealt justice in the city streets? Hit the jump to be dismayed by this week's British chart.

  1. Wii Fit
  2. The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena
  3. The Godfather II
  4. FIFA 09
  5. Resident Evil 5
  6. Professor Layton & the Curious Village
  7. Mario Kart Wii
  8. Wii Play
  9. Call of Duty: World at War
  10. Carnival: Retarded Fuckshit For Idiots
  11. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
  12. Brain Training
  13. Guitar Hero: World Tour
  14. My Fitness Coach
  15. Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection
  16. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
  17. Rayman Raving Rabbids Transvestite Party
  18. Grand Theft Auto IV
  19. Ben 10: Alien Force
  20. Lego Indiana Jones

I thought everyone had already forgotten about Wii Fit.

Thanks Wardrox, for buying Wii Fit. Now people want it again.

Is that the most flattering picture you could find of him?

Wii Fit's continued chart dominance makes me want to buy it too.
It's only a matter of time before the Jimster succumbs and joins the Wii Fit mongoloid revolution.

*SPOILER WARNING*

It may say you're fat.

*END SPOILER*

There's not nearly enough of Jim's anger in that list.

Don't know about everyone else, but I'm perfectly fine with Professor Layton selling more copies than a Kotaku contest entry.

Does Jim ever post any other charts? Or is he too afraid to criticize any other country than his own?
