Big releases mean big changes to Amazon's global charts this week.

The gorgeous looking Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII takes its place proudly at the top of the US PSP charts, wrestling Kratos off the top spot, while Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games ousts Carnival Funfair Games to go top in the UK Wii charts.

Other charts stay sticky, though: Activision's Call of Duty 4 remains unmoved at number one in the US PS3 charts, and that unstoppable force - EA's The Sims - is ever-present in the US, UK and Japanese PC charts.
