We don’t have actual figures, but the data from ChartTrack for last week’s UK software sales shows that Codemasters appear to have broken the Wii spell, at least temporarily. Yes, the top 10 is still full of fluff like Wii Sports and Wii Fit, but with all three versions of Ashes 2009 in there Codemasters must be happy enough, and it’s nice to see a PS3 version of something doing well too, despite the fact that it’s the 360 versions of most of the other titles (Fight Night, Prototype) being the better sellers.
