Media Create Japan: Mario Kart Wii top software title once again

Last week we saw Nintendo lead the pack for the second week in a row as Mario Kart Wii dominated the software charts in Japan. This week tells a very similar story as the wacky go kart racing title racked in an additional 152,000 copies and took the top spot in the Media Create software chart list once again.

Not much has changed since last week in terms of video game software sales in Japan. This week’s list from Media Create once again has Nintendo’s Mario Kart Wii ahead of all the other titles with 152,000 copies sold.

Capcom‘s Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G also retained its runner up slot with 93,000 units sold on its fifth week on the charts. This week also saw up to 13 new titles entering the list with Sega‘s new strategy RPG Valkyria Chronicles inserted as the top three game of the week.

Other notable titles include the new Taiko Drum Master game for the DS with 56,000 copies sold. Even the Xbox 360 got a little loving this week as Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy‘s Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 was included on the list.
