Brain training, not blockbusters, defines the year: Dr Kawashima's Brain Training tops the chart on Nintendo DS, signalling the casual revolution. The whole list tilts Nintendo — Animal Crossing: Wild World, New Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart DS and Nintendogs all chart, and the DS Lite Console appears in black and white. Both next-gen consoles arrive quietly here: the Xbox 360 Console and, at the very bottom, the Nintendo Wii Console with Wii Sports. Surprises include Big Brain Academy riding Kawashima's coat-tails and Gears of War flying the hardcore flag amid the family wave. The seventh generation has begun, and Nintendo is rewriting who games are for.
