Professor Layton spoils Wii Fit debut

Just below the top two earners, Namco Bandai's strategy game SD Gundam G Generation Spirits accounted for an estimated 252,000 copies in its first week proving PS2 still has legs, while Square Enix's Dragon Quest IV remake for DS continued another impressive week of sales with an estimated 135,000 units sold. The Xbox 360 version of Assassin's Creed even made an impression, moving a modest 41,000 units to become the eighth best-selling title of the week. Next week: Lost Odyssey takes a crack at the charts.

That's a pretty good 2 day debut for wiifit. Look forward to seeing it in the states.

Though I'm REALLY looking forward to Professor Layton.

Yea it is interesting to note how Joystiq leaves out the fact that those sales reflect 2 days of sales for Wii Fit, opposed to Professor's 4 days of sales on a system with almost 4 times the install base....

wiifit should upload your data and then track stats like avg user weight, etc... haha

decent idea

"Supporting a combined weight of nearly 40,000 tons."
So basically, Nintendo doesn't have nearly enough supply to sell through the US market.

Oh Snap.
I'd give you a plus if you weren't an idiot.

Isn't Lost Odyssey already out there?
StrangeBum @ Dec 6th 2007 1:32PM
Purportedly came out on the 6th so I would imagine they have been playing some of it. Could be wrong though. I'm personally hoping it's going to be a good game, Blue Dragon was pretty fun and I have high hopes for Mistwalker Studios.

All 4 disc games are good though, so this should be great.
StrangeBum @ Dec 6th 2007 1:40PM
Not sure if I sense sarcasm or not there. But I enjoy having length and story in a game. Even though from what I remember alot of it in this game is reading. But changing discs never bothered me any back in the Playstation days, I would gladly do it again if the game is good enough.
Silent Xenocide @ Dec 6th 2007 2:28PM
Yea no sarcasm there. I still play my 4 disc playstation games, doesn't bug me a whole deal.
gonk @ Dec 6th 2007 2:51PM
don't forget that certain 3-disc game too ;)
Silent Xenocide @ Dec 6th 2007 4:37PM
True Love Story 2? Yea that was an alright game I suppose.
johnny g @ Dec 6th 2007 1:30PM
anyone know when it's coming to the states and at what price tag?
WiNG @ Dec 6th 2007 1:43PM
Price tag is $666.00, and you will need one in order to participate in the commerce of the New World Order.

Do those legs on the far left belong to a man or a woman?
I think it's a man, but it's been so long.

More proof console gaming is a dying breed in japan...
mr nimblewick (SegaDF - Jogurt Ring) @ Dec 6th 2007 4:13PM
A great week of console software sales proves this how?
License to ill @ Dec 6th 2007 4:21PM
Here let me explain myself to, who the fuck are you again?
bm @ Dec 6th 2007 4:30PM
^ what the fuck kind of a reply was that?
Neebs @ Dec 6th 2007 4:49PM
That was the dumbest reply ever.
License to ill @ Dec 6th 2007 5:18PM
(For my above reply) everybody has a bad day.
I hope you enjoy the wii fit shovelware soon to follow...
Neebs @ Dec 6th 2007 4:49PM
That upper right smile is kind of creepy.
Mr Khan @ Dec 6th 2007 6:22PM
What should anyone care? It all helps Nintendo ;)
But on a more serious note, it does show the sheer command that the DS has in Japan. No wonder its getting Dragon Quest IX
