Last Month, Michael McWhertor from Kotaku says (in New Super Mario Bros. Wii Jumps Closer To 3 Million Sold In Japan) It's a week of no new releases charting in Japan, another week for New Super Mario Bros. Wii to dominate the competition with another quarter million plus sold. What other Nintendo games are selling like gangbusters in Japan this week?

And Michael McWhertor from Kotaku says (in Mario, Zelda Strike Down Final Fantasy XIII In Japan) That leaves Final Fantasy XIII in fourth place, moving another 189,000 copies this week, according to Media Create.

The rest of the top ten is all Nintendo—and Namco Bandai—with DS and Wii games outselling everything else in Japan. The numbers, after this.

Thumbnail 2 Months Ago, Michael McWhertor from Kotaku says (in New Super Mario Bros. Wii Leads The New Of The New) Nintendo released New Super Mario Bros. Wii in Japan last week, giving the console its biggest first-week software sales in the country to date, more than 950,000 copies sold, according to Media Create.

Thumbnail And Michael McWhertor from Kotaku says (in Professor Layton Schools Competitors On Sales, Nintendo Conquers Chart) The top ten is mostly Nintendo platform content, with bestsellers Tomodachi Collection and Pokemons Heart Gold and Soul Silver holding strong in the sales department, Wii Fit Plus backing them up.

And Michael McWhertor from Kotaku says (in Pokemon Sales Super Effective Against Zombies In Japan) A trio of games scored top ten debuts this week, including Valve's Left 4 Dead 2, which sold just a little poorer than Namco Bandai's newest Wii drumming game Taiko no Tatsujin Wii Dodoon to 2 Yome! but better than Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games for the Nintendo DS.
