The Wii takes a dip while the DS enjoys a slight surge in sales compared to the previous week in Japan. No real surprises, though, as Metroid Prime 3: Corruption hangs on to the 11th spot, Super Mario Galaxy drops to #43, and a calligraphy game takes #1. Wait, what?

  • PSP: 57,651 (+3,727)
  • Wii: 57,068 (-1,223)
  • DSL: 53,266 (+4,608)
  • PS3: 15,934 (-6,074)
  • PS2: 9,930 (-499)
  • X360: 1,744 (-1,147)

Full software sales rankings after the break.
