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.

The full top ten, according to Enterbrian/Famitsu, is as follows:
1) Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Nintendo-Wii)
2) Wii Fit (Nintendo-Wii)
3) Devil May Cry 4 (Capcom-PS3)
4) Gundam: Giren’s Ambition – The Axis Menace (Namco Bandai Games-PSP)
5) The Embarrassment of Haruki Suzumiya (Banpresto-PS2)
6) Tales of Destiny: Director’s Cut (Namco Bandai Games-PS2)
