Australia Sales Chart, Week Ending August 21

It's a week of very slow and incremental changes in the Australian all-format retail charts; apart from the rising Gran Turismo 4 and the returning Juiced, not a single entry moved more than one position up or down from its place last week. Pokémon Emerald remains the big winner for the fourth straight week. With the Ashes brouhaha drawing to a close, EA Games' 2005 editions of Cricket slip slightly down the charts, as SingStar Pop Bundle and Battlefield 2 inch upwards to replace them in Australian gamers' affections. Though the real-world impetus for the Cricket games is obvious, the rationale for Gran Turismo 4's sudden upward swing remains elusive.
