GTA IV stays strong for 5th week at top of charts

Despite a big drop in sales, it's still number one

NEWS: 3 June 2008 12:01 GMT by Verity Burns

Despite a sales drop of 22% this week, Grand Theft Auto IV has held onto its top spot in the Chart-Track All-Formats Top 40.

Race Driver: GRID sped up the charts on its release week, but fell short of pole position, coming in second overall. It also managed to grab second place on the Xbox chart, but only made it to number three on the PS3 chart, with Haze for the Sony console standing strong at number two.

Elsewhere in the chart, Rock Band in 12th place was beaten by Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock at 11, and Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures after a promising start fell from two to 16.

The illusive Wii-Fit that remains in short supply around the world does not make an appearance in the Top 40, with Chart-Track also noting its absence from the Wii Top 40 as well.

This Friday sees the release of LEGO Indiana Jones, Ninja Gaiden 2 and the PC version of Mass Effect. Will any of these steal the crown from Niko Bellic and co? It only remains to be seen.
