Media Crate: Japanese sales figures for May 12 - May 18
Hardware drops all-around compared to last week, with the Wii taking the biggest hit (and the 360 showing the only improvement). Mario Kart Wii drops to 2nd place in the software charts for the first time, trailing not a new game, but an older one. As usual, Super Mario Galaxy fails to attract buyers in Japan.
