A sixth week at the top for the fitness title, as Capcom’s Resident Evil: The Mercenaries fails in chart bid.

505 Games’ Zumba Fitness has made it three weeks straight at the top of the All Formats All Prices video game chart – six weeks in total.

The fitness craze managed to outsell the chart’s next four titles combined: LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, LA Noire, FEAR 3 and Virtua Tennis 4 – up 111 per cent thanks to Wimbledon fever.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon recorded a 77 per cent sales increase to chart at No.6 thanks to a big marketing push for the third Transformers movie, DiRT 3 is at No.7, Top Spin 4 makes eighth, Brink holds at No.9 and FIFA 11 takes 10th place.

Only two new entries made the Top 40: Capcom’s Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D at No.21 and THQ’s UFC Personal Trainer at No.22. Mercenaries 3D charted at No.2 in the 3DS chart, behind The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.
