Titles for Sony platforms doing well in Spain

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games remains on top as Nintendo titles dominate the German charts in sales data released today by GfK International.

In Spain, Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 was the top selling game, with Mario & Sonic at the Olympics coming in at number three (DS) and five (Wii).

Six DS titles and one Wii title placed in the top ten for Germany for the week ending March 14, as opposed to three DS and two Wii titles in Spain's top ten sales chart.
