New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a monster. Not only is the game the fastest-selling Wii title in Japan, but it’s managed to keep quite a few high-profile games off the top spot of the sales charts. Through the eight weeks that it’s been available, it has reigned supreme on five different occasions, preventing some big-name games like The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks and Tomodachi Collection from reaching the summit.

This week, New Super Mario Bros. Wii beat out Valkyria Chronicles 2 for the number one position on the Media Create charts. Wii Fit Plus shifted down one spot to sixth, with Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles trailing it at seventh. Wii Sports Resort rounds out the Nintendo portion of the list, holding strong at ninth.

Outside the top 10, things are pretty quiet. Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver continues to flirt with the top 10 for another week, while Wii Sports rocketed from 47 to 26. Evergreen titles such as Wii Play, Mario Kart Wii, PokePark Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and New Super Mario Bros. continue to perform well, while others key first-party titles, such as Last Window and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, continue their descent.

Here’s the full top 50 for the week ending January 24th:

Hardware continued to drop this week as we leave the holiday season. PSP reigned supreme for another week, thanks largely in part to Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, while the Nintendo DS and Wii both remain neck-and-neck for the runner-up spot. Next week should see the Nintendo DS take the top spot thanks to Dragon Quest VI, and the PS3 should see a small rise due to some new RPGs being released this week.
