Wii Fit storms up UK charts (fastest selling Nintendo game ever)

DarkZero writes: "The latest charts in the UK have been made available by ChartTrack, and it has been revealed Wii Fit has stormed to the top of the charts after 3 days of sales since last Friday. Two other Wii games, Mario Kart Wii, and Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games followed in second and third place respectively. The PS3 exclusive that is Gran Turismo 5 Prologue came in a strong fourth place.

Wii Fit reportedly recorded an estimated £16.3m making it the 3rd largest launch in terms of value for a video game. The only game above it are Gran Theft Auto: San Andreas with £24.2m and Halo 3 with £16.9m. Wii Fit also broke Mario Kart Wii's record from a few weeks ago, and has now become Nintendo's fastest selling title in the UK ever, and the six fastest selling game ever, behind the likes of the GTA, Halo and Gran Turismo titles.

It should also be noted that Mario Kart Wii saw a huge drop in sales, slipping by 62%, but still sold enough to hit second place on the charts in the country."
