Latest Japanese Software/Hardware Sales

The latest Media Create software and hardware sales for Japan have now been released, showing a fantastic second week for New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Nintendo's home console as well. Unfortunately, for Bandai Namco, Tales of Graces struggles to just over 140,000 sales for the week, which is higher than Tales of Hearts on DS, but lower than the 153,000 that Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World achieved on Wii and far below the recent PS3 port of Tales of Vesperia, which scored a very impressive 227,000 sales in its first week.

Check out the sales data below:

In other news, Level-5 has announced that it has shipped a million copies of the Inazuma Eleven sequel on DS. The original DS 'Football RPG' has nearly sold 500,000 units, but its sequel has doubled its popularity. Whilst sales from data trackers such as Media Create and Famitsu have the sequel at around the 700,000 unit mark, clearly Level-5 is very confident of a boost over the festive and New Year period in Japan.
