Only DS Edition Hangs On
Last week’s official Chart Track multiformat rankings show the Wii edition of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, in the middle of the charts for weeks prior, has now dropped out of the top sellers.
The game ranked at #29 last week and #21 two weeks before. The Wii version joins its HD console counterparts, who fell off the top 40 just a few weeks after the game’s launch.
The DS edition of ASR is still hanging on, though, climbing up a spot week to week to #37.
Interestingly enough, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games remains constant on the UK charts well after the close of the actual games in , coming in 25th, and only dropping two places from last week.
And for those curious, no edition of ASR made it onto NPD’s Top 20 software chart for March 2010–meaning no single edition sold more than 100,000 copies.

Well…. it’s still a good game. ^^
Seriously? What other games are people playing? Lately I feel every other game thats came out this year sucks ass! There hasn’t really been anything big?
It’s a shame, because I got my hands on a copy (which sells BTW, at $10 less then the system average for 360 and Wii) and it’s a fun, enjoyable game. My roommates and I have logged some serious hours on this game (heavily impeding our ability to study for finals) and all of them have declared it more enjoyable then Mario Kart. From the sounds of it, it will wind up delegated to “games you should have gotten that were great status.” Hopefully though, it pulls an Overlord and gets the go for a sequel of some kind eventually, because the game is well done.
@Stephen: God of War 3, Final fantasy 13, Mass Effect 2 and Heavy Rain. And that was the biggest! There’s also a lot of others like Red Steel 2, Yakuza 3, Splinter cell: conviction, Bioshock 2 and Just Cause 2. And… there’s a lot of more comming!
If you check out the all-formats charts, ASR is at number 13 (above God Of War 3) – but I suppose that doesn’t fit your negative spin agenda.
Welp guess this is the end of video games as we know it.

They never combine all versions in stats. It’s pretty stupid, but that’s just how it’s done. If you do combine them though, B:BC2, GodoW3, and FF13, all lose to PkmnHG/SS. GodoW3 placing the lowest. That’s US anyhow, I have no fucking clue what the combined list for UK looks like. I’d imagine pretty much the same though, only Japan gets radically different.
Skai Cyan, you don’t have to imagine – the info is all there on the Chart Track website.
