Super Mario Collection and Pokemon Black and White make way for two new chart toppers.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/24417
After top position last week, Super Mario Collection finds itself down the charts as it dips from 1 to 3 in its second week. This drop is due to a 61 percent decline in sales. Still, it logs a larger second week than both Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, which really shows how popular the 2D Mario games are, as it is a port of SNES game. It finished the week with sales of 119,485.
Pokemon Black and Pokemon White continue their descent down the charts as they drop two rings to spot 4. They saw a modest 16 percent decline in sales, helping it stay close to the 70,000 mark. The duo of games is performing better than Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl in terms of lifetime-to-date sales but the weekly sums are much lower.
Nintendo released Golden Sun: Dark Dawn in Japan not too long ago, the new handheld entry starts with sales of 46,500. This number may seem disappointing, though Nintendo has been said not to be heavily promoting the title, and Nintendo DS game sales are down in general.
Kirby’s Epic Yarn saw a decent third week of sales as it rose one position to spot 5. It once again saw a week-on-week decrease in sales, though it managed to stay above the 25,000 mark.
Solatorobo from Bandai Namco starts its chart life in spot 7 with sales just shy of 22,000. Rounding out the top 10 is Wii Party, which saw a modest rise in sales to 17,300.
The new Mario anniversary Nintendo DS systems went on sale last month in Japan and caused a spike in sales for the handheld. Retailers are reporting sell-outs of the models, and pre-orders for the upcoming red Wii are also selling out.
The Nintendo DS family of handhelds ended the week with sales of 59,000, 18,000 ahead of the PSP. The PS3 saw a slight boost due to the new Winning Eleven 2011 console bundles, whereas the Wii saw a modest increase in sales. The consoles finished the week with sales of 28,200 and 12,700, respectively.
