Another week in Japan: Hardware and software numbers 1/7-1/13

The PSP might be inching closer to the DS in hardware sales, but the dual-screened handheld continues to dominate the software charts. Half of the games in the top twenty were DS games, while the Wii, PSP, PS2 and PS3 shared the other half.

Many of the top games were old favorites, but relative newcomers like Final Fantasy IV and Rune Factory 2 did well, too. Professor Layton 2 continues to help its predecessor sell more copies, giving the original Layton a chance to reach one million sales. For the most part, though, it was a quiet and predictable week in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Hardware:
  • DS: 103,000
  • PSP: 84,000
  • Wii: 82,000
  • PS3: 34,000
  • PS2: 15,000
  • Xbox 360: 5,500
The software sales can be seen after the break.

Software:
  1. Wii Fit (Wii) --- 93,000 (1,005,000)
  2. Mario Party DS (DS) --- 52,000 (1,493,000)
  3. Wii Sports (Wii) --- 41,000 (2,633,000)
  4. Wii Play (Wii) --- 26,000 (2,120,000)
  5. Professor Layton 2 (DS) --- 23,000 (697,000)
  6. Final Fantasy IV (DS) --- 20,000 (547,000)
  7. Monster Hunter Portable 2 (PSP) --- 20,000 (1,551,000)
  8. Mario & Sonic at Beijing Olympics (Wii) --- 20,000 (457,000)
  9. Mario Kart DS (DS) --- 19,000 (2,783,000)
  10. Rune Factory 2 (DS) --- 18,000 (74,000)
  11. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) --- 18,000 (827,000)
