The story in Spain and Germany for the most recent software sales charts is once again firmly focused on the continuing success of Nintendo, with five of the six top three positions in both countries playing on a Wii or DS.

In Germany Brain Training continued to sell well in first place, followed by Wii Play and Pokemon Diamond, according to information from Media-Control GfK International for the week ending February 3.

PC shooter Crysis was fourth, with Super Mario Galaxy and Call of Duty 4 in fifth and sixth.

Burnout Paradise, Eye Training, New Super Mario Bros and World of Warcraft finished off the top ten list, giving Nintendo six of the best-selling games last week.

In Spain Wii Play topped the list, although Burnout Paradise for the PlayStation 3 - one of three titles for that platform - sold well in second, pushing various Brain and Training titles down to take up the third to sixth places.
