It's a week of very slow and incremental changes in the Australian all-format retail charts; apart from the rising
Gran Turismo 4 and the returning
Juiced, not a single entry moved more than one position up or down from its place last week.
Pokémon Emerald remains the big winner for the fourth straight week.
With the Ashes brouhaha drawing to a close, EA Games' 2005 editions of
Cricket slip slightly down the charts, as
SingStar Pop Bundle and
Battlefield 2 inch upwards to replace them in Australian gamers' affections. Though the real-world impetus for the
Cricket games is obvious, the rationale for
Gran Turismo 4's sudden upward swing remains elusive.
