For those people who have read previous weekly game sales rankings, you can see that there is one factor that greatly affects the sales ranking. That’s the characters in the game. Although those titles do not last long on the chart, it is still a reason that many Japanese people (mostly otaku people) buy games.
For this week’s ranking, three new titles showed up. On the other hand, Wii Fit and other Wii basic titles sell constantly. This tells how popular the Nintendo Wii is in Japan right now.
The ranking follows:
1. *NEW* Dynasty Warriors Gundam Special (PS2)
2. Wii Fit (Wii)
3. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
4. *NEW* Soma Bringer (DS)
