Now on its second week out, Grand Theft Auto 4 still dominates the charts in the UK. Not only that, but it's managed to keep its place on top despite a massive 77% drop in sales.The latest update also seems to give weight to Microsoft's claim that the Xbox 360 version is more popular than the PlayStation 3 one. According to Chart Track, the 360 version accounted for 62% of sales last week, compared to its 55% margin the previous week. The list is still dominated by the major players: mostly games from Nintendo, and of course, the never-dying Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. Here are the top ten games in the UK for the week ending on May 10:

I can't believe how bad games like "Iron Man" and "Mario & Sonic: Olimpics" sell better than GT5 Prologue and "Mario Kart Wii".

» Bad games?

» yes, bad games
The official Nintendo mag is probably the only one to give Mario and Sonic a decent rating. Gamespot gave it a 6.0.

So what if Gamespot gave it a 6.0. What matters is a lot of people like the game. The fact that it is still number 4 on the UK list after a few months it has been released says that people still like the game.

People buying a game and people liking a game aren't always hand in hand.

» prologue
I think that's because the prologue is just an expensive overhyped demo. People don't want to pay e40,- for it I quess. And also I don't think these numbers account for psn store sales.

The price is ok. Why you ask? Because you don't have to pay the full price for the finished game. You get a discount for the full version.

My mistake about the Gamespot (6.0) and IGN (7.9) scores. The average score from internet reviewers is approximately 7.2; so now it's your mistake; no, not bad games.
