Electronic Theatre reports on the unveiling of the UK videogames industry's sales figures for the first six months of 2009, in which Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training became the biggest ever selling game in the UK.

The figures, compiled by GfK Chart-Track, show family-oriented and educational games have become the most popular with the UK public. With combined sales volumes of 1.65 million units, Nintendo's Wii Fit, Wii Play and Mario Kart Wii titles equate to 72% of the top five 'best sellers' chart. The period also saw total sales of Nintendo's Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training surpass the three million units mark to become the UK's most popular game ever.
