Castlevania did pretty bad considering it got a system bundle (and yes, MC tracks hardware bundles with the software).  The bundle itself must've sold next to nothing though, since MGS4 is totally absent from the top 50.   Shining Hearts did well for the series but has extremely horrible legs considering it did ~80k first day.

IE3 Ogre had a meh debut, but honestly I'm surprised any retailers ordered it at all considering how overshipped IE3 was.  Ninokuni has an okay hold, but they better hope wom improves if they want to move that 600k.  Honestly, I totally drank Hino's coolaid about the game and expected it to be the new DQ/FF/MH, but looking back the conceptual disconnect in forcing a handheld game to use a giant tome is so obvious.  I think they should've incorporated the Magic Master in-game on DS, and maybe saved the book for just the PS3 version.

One weird thing is the Mario-All Stars drop... I wonder if Nintendo's closed shipments already or something?  I know it's already next to impossible to find in the US.

I also expected PS3 hardware to do better given this week they released several bundles this week (Kojima bundle, Move Saru bundle, Move Sports bundle).  Wii takes the lead from PS3 this week YTD by Mediacreate, though it already had it 3 weeks ago according to Dengeki.
