Pokémon Keep Nintendo No.1 in Japan

Pokémon Keep Nintendo No.1 in Japan on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

In the second week of Pokémon Black and Pokémon White's release, the duo has shot up to nearly 3.4 million sales, which considering its first official week of sales only consisted of two days due it launching on a Saturday is even more impressive. Wii Party also crosses the million sales threshhold this week, showing no signs of dying down yet, the same as with Super Mario Galaxy 2, which has been lingering in the upper part of the chart far longer than its predecessor did. The original Super Mario Galaxy only just about scraped past the million mark, even with a holiday boost early in its lifetime. This sequel, however, is on track to reach a million without too much hassle, and still has the benefit of the Winter holiday period on the horizon.

Check out all the sales below, as well as the hardware listings:

I expected to see Kingdom Hearts recoded
maybe next week.

PS3 is just good for Catherine, Demons souls, Dark Souls, and Folklore

Hmm, it's intriguing that the DS and PSP are outselling all the home consoles, despite being older consoles.
