Following the previous week’s dethroning, the Wii gets back into routine by topping the hardware charts in Japan. On the software side, Smash Bros., Wii Fit, and Metroid all showed up in the top five. Nothing groundbreaking this week, though, so take a look only if you’re curious.

  • Wii: 57,068 (-7,467)
  • PSP: 53,924 (-19,782)
  • DSL: 48,658 (-3,264)
  • PS3: 21,008 (+7,488)
  • PS2: 10,429 (-557)
  • X360: 2,891 (+609)
