Wii Fit jogs to the top of Japanese sales charts in first week
We were waiting for Japanese sales numbers to be released to see how Wii Fit debuted, and they have finally come. Famitsu is reporting that Wii Fit ended the week at the #2 spot (behind Professor Layton 2 for the DS) in software sales, with 254,000 copies sold. Keep in mind also that since Wii Fit was released later in the week, these numbers only account for two days of the game being available (most games on the Japanese charts account for four days of sales). It's also interesting to note that in two days, Wii Fit has already sold more than Super Mario Galaxy sold in its first week.
Furthermore, Wii hardware sales jumped up this week, as the console pushed 71,000 units. That's approximately a 30% increase from last week's sales, and a 97% increase from two weeks ago when the Wii sold 36,000 units. Although software clearly played a big part in this growth, it seems likely that Nintendo also made sure to ship more Wiis to Japan with the release of Wii Fit.
