JAPAN: Smash Bros. smacksdown chart rivals

Famitsu data reveals that the Nintendo title has shifted 1.3m units in its first month on sale

MCV media partner Famistu has revealed the Japanese sales charts for February in a month when Nintendo titles Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Wii Fit claimed the top two spots, selling 1.3m and 309,000 units respectively. This brings Wii Fit’s lifetime sales to 1.5m since its release on December 1st.
