The UK charts have slowed down even further this week, with sales dropping across the board. Despite a 60 percent drop in week-on-week sales, though, Need for Speed: Underground 2 is enjoying its seventh consecutive week at the top. The only new release in the past week, indeed the only major release all month, is The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure. Yet, even with a total absence of new competition, Nintendo’s most important franchise has failed to penetrate the top forty – despite entering at number one in the GameCube only charts.
