ELSPA PR blunder mis-lists UK half-year sales

wiifit5

Remember those half-year UK sales figures ELSPA and Chart-track released this morning? They were wrong.

The agency that sent out the data's just apologised: it was for single formats, not all formats.

Could happen to anyone. Here's the real top ten in Britain for the first six months of calendar 2009:

  1. Wii Fit
  2. FIFA 09
  3. COD: WAW
  4. Resident Evil 5
  5. Wii Play
  6. Mario Kart Wii
  7. Prof Layton
  8. Mario & Sonic
  9. SFIV
  10. GH World Tour

Thanks, Johnny.
