Australian Sales Charts - Week Ending 29/4/07

Xbox 360 gets owned by Bratz!

April 23-29 was a very interesting week of sales. The 5th best selling full-priced game was Bratz: Forever Diamondz, showing yet again that Nintendo dominates the hand-held market.

Finally Motorstorm on Playstation 3 is on its way downhill where it belongs, after being over-hyped as "photo realistic", the hill-billy racing game is no longer the top seller for the Playstation 3.

Sony wins once again though, with their chart-topping Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the Playstation 2. They must be glad their install-base is so large for their last-generation console, as the Playstation 3 is still struggling to plant itself in the current generation. Surprisingly, God of War 2 is nowhere to be seen on the Playstation 2 chart.

Unsurprisingly, the fad that is Guitar Hero 2 is still in the number one spot for the Xbox 360, followed closely by the smash Xbox Live hit Gears of War.
