    Wii Music Hits High Note On Japanese Sales Charts

    Wii Music, as you may already know, topped Japanese sales charts in its debut week. While the Media Create numbers skew a bit lower than what Famitsu had to say, Wii Music won the sales chart crown handily, pushing Pokémon Platinum back to the number two spot.

    It will be interesting to see what kind of legs Wii Music has, considering how well Nintendo fare like Mario Kart DS and Wii Play continues to sell.
