Japan appears to be fixed the combination of Mario Kart and Monster Hunter. The Nintendo and Capcom smash hits continued their reigns at the top of this week's Media Create sales chart, covering April 28 to May 4.
Mario Kart Wii was, once again, in the top spot with an additional 173,387 sales. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G took second with 102,320 units. The two have remained in the same position for the past four weeks, since Mario Kart's release. In terms of overall sales, Mario Kart has already crossed the million mark. Monster Hunter is closing in on two million.
The only new entry in the top ten came at three as Link's Crossbow Training, complete with the Wii Zapper, debuted at 92,534 units. It was followed by a bunch of older titles: Wii Fit (Nintendo, Wii, 51,851 units), Meccha! Taiko no Tatsujin DS (Namco Bandai, DS, 42,416), Pokemon Ranger Batonnage (Pokemon, DS, 30,675), Bokura ha Kaseki Horida (Nintendo, DS, 26,661), Valkyria Chronicles (Sega, PS3, 24,422), Deca Sporta (Hudson, Wii, 24,302), and Wii Sports (Nintendo, Wii, 21,979).
Like the software race, hardware sales have had a fixed order for some time now. PSP was once again at the top this week with 100,870 units. Wii saw a leap, likely due to the Golden Week period of holidays, up to 71,518 units, with DS Lite coming in below that at 52,542 units. Rounding out the hardware chart were the regulars: PS3 at 10,177, PS2 at 8,802, and Xbox 360 at 1,725.
