The Australian charts are in for another week of portable games, sports titles, and
Sims. Yes, we're still protesting by using the same introduction for another week; though there is a hint of change at the bottom of the chart, it's still more of the same.
Nintendogs has seen a resurgence of interest as
Lab & Friends jumps back into the lap of #1, with
Chihuahua & Friends making gains further down the list. Only
Dachshund & Friends slips this week from 2 to 4 -- have the dachshunds achieved market saturation?
In non-
Nintendogs movement,
NBA Live 2006 and
Gran Turismo 4 peek in at #9 and #10 respectively. The rest is a series of incremental movements for standbys like
Ricky Ponting Cricket,
AFL Premiership 2005, and
FIFA 2006, showing that whatever else you can say for them, Australian gamers know what they like.
