Brain Training celebrates 100 weeks in the charts

We don’t know if Nintendo has noticed this yet, as they have not issued a boastful press release proclaiming the ‘great success’ of the game reaching this ‘landmark achievement’, but it seems this week marks the 100th week the original Brain Training has been in the UK charts.

In fact, we don’t think the game has ever left the charts since its launch back in June 16th 2006, and has always remained in our near the top 10. It seems all those Chris Tarrant, Nicole Kidman and Jean-Luc Picard filled adverts really did work!

Latest sales figures from late 2007 back cite that the game has sold 11.71 million copies worldwide since its initial release in Japan back in May 19th 2005. However. we are sure that numbers has shot up even higher over the course of the last few months.

Unfortunately, we don’t think we’ve gotten any smarter in all that time. Pity really!
