Wii Fit holds out against Riddick
Nintendo's balance board title remains at the top of the UK chart as sales slow across the board
Wii Fit has held onto the top of the UK software sales chart for the week ended April 25, holding off debutant Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena - the only new entry in the top ten - despite the Nintendo title's sales sliding by 11 per cent in trend repeated across the board.
