Is Nintendo falling out of favor with the Japanese gaming public? It would appear so as only nine of the top ten games sold in Japan for the week of 1/8 to 1/14 are playable on a Nintendo platform. Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops, savior of the PSP, sneaked in at spot #8, pushing its home turf sales to just over 300,000 units.
Here are the top 10 from Media Create.
1. Wii Sports (Wii) 61,399 / 794,118
