As we informed you yesterday (and predicted last week), Super Smash Bros. Brawl ripped up the Japanese sales charts. Selling an incredible 820,000 copies in a mere four days, that's not a game to be messed with.Some other Nintendo titles didn't fare as well, however. Super Mario Galaxy nearly fell out of the top thirty this week. Brawl, it seems, is starting to cannibalize Galaxy's sales. Wii Fit's streak as the number one game also ended with Brawl's success. Not only that, but Wii Fit was pushed to number five by the plethora of new games released last week. Most of the other Wii games got knocked down, too, like Wii Sports, Wii Play, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, and Mario Party.
Family Ski represented the top third-party Wii game this week, ending up at number twelve. That's not too shabby, especially considering that the game was rumored to have poor first-day sales.
Oh, and did we mention that the Wii was the top seller in hardware, for the second week in a row? We wonder how long Brawl will be able to keep it at the top.

I've been following Family Ski game since I learned that the Ride Racer team is developing it.
Glad to read that it did better than average 3rd party titles, especially considering it was relased together with a game the majority of Wii owners wanted to buy.
I hope this encourages Namco to release it out of Japan.

I can see this shifting 5 mil in Japan by years end.
And probably by this time next year it'll be out in PAL land where gamers still call home!
Luckily i have the JPN version :D
