Media Create Japanese Software Sales for week ending January 8th: 3DS, Wii titles dominate
There are no new entries in this week’s Media Create software chart but rather a mix of some of the most popular titles from 2011, and in the case of Wii Party and Wii Sports Resort - 2010.
The 3DS triumvirate of Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land and Monster Hunter 3G perch at the top of the chart, with Inazuma Eleven Go a distant fourth.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 sales slip 42% to just 35 325 units, taking its overall tally to 739 561.
A lot must be said for Nintendo’s ability to sell first-party software more than a year after its release. Japanese sales for Wii Party now sit on 2.3 million while the Wii Sports Resort bundle has sold over 833k.
Head over here for this week’s hardware chart.

would love to play Mario Kart 7 & Super Mario 3D Land. When I win my PINK 3DS I'll get these so I can go everywhere and play mario on the go. Yes, I'll even play on the PINK 3DS in Public.....there is no shame in it. It shows that I'm a Real MAN. and I'll just say its my Little ones 3DS. It will be in the future when she is older.
@POItjie who says u winning the 3DS lol, nice list though Mario will never die, its like the last action hero lol can take on mass armies and still come out on top with only a little scratch.
