Mafia II Maintains Top Spot

Last week’s top 40 games chart has shown that crime really does pay. Chart-Track has released the top 40 gaming chart for the week ending September 4th and for a second week in a row, the top spot has gone to the recently released Mafia II. Despite a 23% reduction in sales since the previous week, which was the greatest fall of all the top 10 selling games, Mafia II publisher Take-Two still expects the game to continue bringing in the big bucks for some time to come.

With the Mafia II first DLC pack being released for Xbox 360 and PC tomorrow, it looks like Take-Two will be getting another money boost over the next few days but with Halo: Reach being released next week, don’t expect Mafia II to stay top for much longer.

As for other games in the top 10, a couple that surprised me included Wii Sports Resort which took the third spot this week, the highest since December 2009 after a 19% increase in sales. I suspect the recent offer that Game.co.uk has been offering for the Nintendo Wii will have something to do with that though. Another surprise was Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X 2 which only came in at number 10 in the charts, although only in it’s first week of release, I doubt it will make it to number 1 but I suspect it will get higher next week.

You can view the complete list of top 10 software sales below or visit the Chart Track website for the complete list of the top 40:

  1. Mafia II
  2. Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days
  3. Wii Sports Resort
  4. Toy Story 3
  5. Red Dead Redemption
  6. Just Dance
  7. Super Mario Galaxy 2
  8. Sniper: Ghost Warrior
  9. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
  10. Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X 2

Hi I'm Dan (aka Scrooby). I'm an 18 year old gamer and full time Web Developer for FreshEgg. Most of gaming tends to be on the Xbox 360 mainly because I love the achievement system. My favourite games are mainly FPS games, Halo, Gears of War and Call of Duty are particular favourites. However, I'll play pretty much all genres of games, anything from Guitar Hero 5 to Lego Harry Potter, they're all great!
