Media Create: top selling games in Japan last Christmas - Image 1Media Create has come up with a list that showed which video game titles sold the most from December 24 to December 30 of last year, the week of high importance for developers.

The list contains 50 titles all in all but only the top ten titles were accompanied by sales figures. Even with the popularity that the latest gaming consoles are getting, it was a PS2 game that took the first place.

That specific title was Super Robot Wars OG Gaiden which had sold for at least 196,000 units. Other than this surprising outcome, games for the Wii, Nintendo DS, and PSP followed as expected.

Second place was Wii Fit, selling almost 135,000 units. Another Nintendo creation made it to third, Mario Party DS with 131,428 units. Square Enix titles took the 4th and 5th places with Final Fantasy IV selling 126,434 and Star Ocean: First Departure selling 105,104 units.

The top sixth selling game was Wii Sports with 81,671. Seventh was Suzumiya Haruhi no Yakusoku with 81,089 units. Coming in at eight was Professor Layton and the Curious Village for the Nintendo DS, selling 79,500 units.

Lastly, Dragon Quest IV came in at ninth place with 77,780 units and Super Mario Galaxy was tenth for selling 55,914 units.

hmm... I wonder why Wii sports is selling so much. Isn't it bundled with the console? I don't how it is in Japan, but here in Europe (Germany) it comes together with the Wii.

maybe everytime a console is sold which is bundled with the game is counted as a sale!
otherwise it is stupid like you say.

WiiSports is not bundled with the console in Japan (the only region that it isn't) but it still sells with almost every Wii.

So the numbers for japan really indicates the number that were sold, people wanted this game.

Yeah, Super Robot Taisen OG ftw! I seriously hope Atlus makes an english version for the PS2 just like what it did with the GBA titles.
