Let's welcome in Media Create's record of the past week's game sales in Japan. This is where you'll get big numbers and not-so-big numbers, mixed in with the crucial numbers one through ten -- a mathematician's wet dream. Firstly, here's this week's chart, with combined total sales of titles inside those pouting parentheses:
- Virtua Fighter 5 - 48,346 units sold last week (new entry / Sega, PS3)
- Wii Sports - 45,897 (1,004,555 units sold to date / Nintendo, Wii)
- Wii Play - 36,090 (879,432 / Nintendo, Wii)
- More Brain Training - 32,800 (3,963,712 / Nintendo, DS)

- Luminous Arc - 25,676 (new entry / Marvelous, DS)
- J-League Pro Soccer 5 - 24,468 (131,541 / Sega, PS2)
- Virtua Fighter 5 is the WINNER
- Sega is Sony's most valuable ally in Japan right now
- Capcom's San Andreas marketing has paid off
- DS-like "slow sellers" are also possible on Wii
- There's still a place in the Japanese market for little players, which is just Marvelous
