In little over 60 weeks, the Wii console has managed to sell over 5 million units in its home territory of Japan. As impressive as this is, it falls short of the DS, which achieved sales figures of this nature in 56 weeks. But, the Wii did manage to beat the PS2, which cracked the 5 million mark after 66 weeks on the market.
A system is only so good as its games though, right? Well, in Japan the games pushing the Wii are
Wii Sports (2.6 million copies sold as of now),
Wii Play (2.1 million copies sold as of now),
Mario Party 8 ( 1.1 million copies sold as of now) and
Wii Fit (1.1 million copies sold as of now).
Super Mario Galaxy comes in fifth place in the country, only selling a total of 843,961 copies.
