PSP and DS running neck and neck.

Wii led the way once again over in Japan the week after the start of the new year. Covering January 7 to January 13, the latest Media Create sales chart has Wii Fit at top with 89,584 sales. Nintendo’s hard-to-find fitness title has already crossed the million mark.

Below this, the top ten is pretty much all Nintendo-related product. Mario Party DS came in at second with 43,082 sales, topping Wii Sports (Nintendo, Wii, 33,267 units) and Final Fantasy IV (Square Enix, DS, 32,427).

A PSP title managed to sneak in at fifth as Capcom’s Monster Hunter Portable 2nd made it back into the charts with 25,927 units. The second PSP Monster Hunter game has crossed the 1.5 million mark.

Closing out the list are a bunch of long selling (some more than two years old!) DS and Wii games. Level-5’s Professor Layton and the Devil’s Box came in at sixth with 25,303 units sold, besting Dragon Quest IV (Square Enix, DS, 24,992 units), Wii Play (Nintendo, Wii, 24,820), Mario & Sonic at Peking Olympics (Nintendo, Wii, 21,661) and Mario Kart DS (Nintendo, DS, 17,433).
