Wii Fit outruns Solid Snake in only his second week on the charts.
Four new entries were made by Nintendo games last week including the top three best sellers. Nintendo's sequel to its music creation game, Band Bros DX made a bold entry at No.3. Meanwhile, proving that a good horse simulator can always sell well, Enterbrain's Derby Stallion dominated everything this week.
Most surprising of all is how quickly the Playstation 3's flagship title has slipped down the charts, Metal Gear Solid 4 couldn’t even beat out the months old Wii Fit. It is a fair comparison as both titles have a high-end price tag of 8,800 Yen (about $80 US).
