Smash Bros. Doing Good

February 15, 2008 - There's no stopping Nintendo's brawler over in Japan. Smash Bros. X, as Smash Bros. Brawl is known in its home country, topped the charts in its second week, pulling 251,789 unit sales, double that of second place. As reported earlier this week, Brawl has topped the million sold mark faster than any Wii game before it.

The Media Create charts covering 2/4 to 2/10 have newcomer Gundam: Giren's Ambition for the PSP in second with 122,522 units, beating out a bunch of older titles: Wii Fit (Nintendo, Wii, 65,163), Devil May Cry 4 (Capcom, PS3, 32,045), Mario & Sonic at Peking Olympics (Nintendo, DS, 25,899), and Wii Sports (Nintendo, Wii, 20,978).

One more newbie made it into the top 10 as Konami's L the proLogue to Death Note for the DS took 7th place with 20,493 units sold. It beat Family Ski (Bandai Namco Games, Wii, 18,108), Tales of Destiny Director's Cut (Bandai Namco Games, PS2), and Mario Party DS (Nintendo, DS, 16,488).

The hardware order this week remains unchanged from last week, although the numbers are way down for a few systems. Wii took the top spot again, beating the PSP's 75,912 and the DS Lite's 60,464. PS3 took a major hit down to 23,985. Below it were PS2 at 11,038 units and Xbox 360 at 3,615 units.
