Derby Stallion DS was third, followed by Wii Fit - which has now sold over 2.3 million copies in Japan since launch - in fourth and Nanashi no Game in fifth.

Mario Kart Wii took sixth, having broken the 1.5 million barrier in the previous week, with Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of a New World in seventh and Super Mario Stadium: Family Baseball in eighth place.

Metal Gear Solid 4 hung on in ninth place, edging slowly towards 600,000 unit sales, while the PlayStation Portable's most popular title of 2008 - Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G - rounded out the top ten.
