Smash Bros tops Japan chart again

Wii title leads another week of stellar Nintendo performance in Japan

Super Smash Bros Brawl, which burst through the 1 million mark after just 11 days, is top of the software sales chart in Japan for the second week, according to Media Create data for the week ending February 10.

The game sold another 252,000 copies last week to bring its total to 1,071,000, making it one of Nintendo's fastest-selling titles for the Wii.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Gihren's Ambition, The Axis' Threat was a new entry in second place for the PlayStation Portable, selling 123,000 copies, while Wii Fit was third selling 65,000.

The rest of the top ten showed signs of returning to its Nintendo-dominated state, following some variety in last week's chart, with seven of the top ten games - and 22 of the top 30 - selling for the Wii or DS platforms.

Devil May Cry 4 dropped a couple of places to fourth while Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games was fifth and Wii Sports sixth.

The only other new entry was L, the Prologue to Death Note: Rasen's Trap for the DS in seventh, with Family Ski, Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut and Mario Party DS finished the top ten list.

The full chart is as follows:

1. Super Smash Bros Brawl (Wii)
2. Mobile Suit Gundam: Gihren's Ambition, The Axis' Threat (PSP)
3. Wii Fit (Wii)
4. Devil May Cry 4 (PS3)
