With the motion picture now on general release it comes as no great shock to see Harry and friends maintain their position atop the All Formats Video Game Chart. Sales are down 11% over last week, but it’s not enough to enable the following pack to snatch the glory.

The Top 10 is slowly becoming more dominated by Nintendo with five places occupied by titles on Wii or DS platforms. More Brain Training holds on at No.2, Wii Play climbs up to No.4, Mario Party 8 enters at No.5, Brain Training is at No.6 and Cooking Mama jumps back into the Top 10 at No.9.

Midway’s Touchmaster for DS is the week’s only other new entry, placing at No.29 on its second week of release.

New titles expected to make a challenge next week include Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree, The Darkness (now on PS3) and Transformers: The Game which arrives on seven platforms.
