Mario Party DS came in fourteen. It is going strong and had sold 1.5 million copies already in Japan.





In this reported week, the top spots all belong to Sony and Microsoft games. Super Smash Bros for Wii did come in first and Wii Fit came in fifth. Only 1 game from DS is in the top 10 spots. 11 of the top 30 game sales spots belong to DS games while 8 belong to Wii games.

A real hidden gem is "Houkago Shounen". It came in at number 22. There is a lot of praise for this game.
