Japanese Sales Data: Nintendo in good shape with Wii FitThursday 13 Dec 2007 The latest figures from Media Create show that Nintendo’s Wii Fit has kept up the pace on the Japanese Software Charts, selling 150 000 copies for the week ending the 9th of December. Wii Fit debuted last week with an impressive 261 226 copies but was pipped to the post by Level 5’s Prof. Layton and Pandora’s Box which debuted with 293 897 copies. However, Prof. Layton’s latest adventure did not hold on to the top spot for two weeks in a row, moving down four places to number 5 with 76 000 copies. Surprisingly two returning entries occupy the top two spots on the chart, with only four new entries making it into the top ten this week. Platformwise, the top ten is dominated by Nintendo with five Nintendo DS titles and three Wii titles. Sony and Microsoft both have one spot each, with Sony staking their claim with a PSP title and Microsoft a Xbox 360 title. Nintendo’s Mario Party DS continues to do well, moving up four places to number 2 with 107 000 copies. Namco Bandai’s Tales of Innocence debuts with 104 000 copies, a decent launch figure but overshadowed by the popularity of Nintendo’s Wii Fit and Mario Party DS. Sony’s Hot Shots Golf Portable 2 for the PSP enters the charts at number 4 with 87 000 copies while Dragon Quest IV from Square Enix moves down two places to number 6 with 63 000 copies. Microsoft’s Lost Odyssey for the Xbox 360 debuts with 55 000 copies while Konami’s Powerful Pro-kun Pocket 10 for the Nintendo DS enters at number 8 with 54 000 copies. Nintendo’s Super Mario Galaxy re-enters the top ten at number 9 after two weeks in eleventh position with 45 000 copies. Nintendo’s Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games rounds off the top ten with 45 000 copies, down one place from last week. Three PS2 titles that made it into the top ten last week drop several places this week. Namco Bandai’s SD Gundam G Generation Spirits drops to number 11 after its debut last week at number 3, Capcom’s Sengoku Basara 2: Heroes drops from its debut at number 5 to number 16 this week and Konami’s World Soccer Winning Eleven 2008 drops to number 12 from last week’s number 7. Ubisoft’s Xbox 360 version of Assassin’s Creed drops off the software chart completely after debuting at number 8 last week while Konami’s Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters World Championship 2008 for the Nintendo DS is also missing after entering the charts at number 10 last week. Sony’s PS3 exclusive Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (known as El Dorado no Hihou in Japan) only managed to debut at number 24 while Sega’s Virtua Fighter 5 appears to be absent from the top thirty. Nintendo’s Wii Sports and Wii Play continue to perform well in 14th and 15th respectively, and again seem to indicate that combined with the success of Wii Fit as well as two other Wii titles in the top ten, the Wii will again do well on the hardware chart (released tomorrow).
