After leading the Media Create sales charts for five consecutive weeks, Pokemon Black and Pokemon White’s reign atop the summit has come to an end as they step aside for Mario and his latest Wii offering.

Super Mario Collection: Special Pack began its life in Japan in the top spot with sales of 307,755.  With the limited availability of the game and the holiday season approaching, the game should continue to sell well in the near future.

Settling for the runner-up spot for its sixth week of sales is Pokemon Black and Pokemon White, which dip 1 to 2. Their fall is due to a 51 percent decline in sales, giving a total just short of 82,000 copies. Kirby’s Epic Yarn sold an additional 35,000 units this week, a 61 percent decrease in sales, falling from 2 to 5 in its second week.

Rounding out the top 10 is Nintendo’s Wii Party, which falls 6-10. It ended the week with sales of just under 15,000.

Outside the top 10, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded exits the top ten in its third week of sales as it plummets 4 to 11. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is the only other game for a Nintendo platform to find itself in the top 20. It opens in the 13th position.

Hardware sales continue to experience decline. The Nintendo DS saw a sharp drop as sales fell from 47,100 to 34,400, largely due to the Pokemon boost wearing off. The PSP was knocking on its doorstep with sales of 33,500. The PS3, despite seeing the release of the PlayStation Move accessory, saw a small drop of 2,000 units. Super Mario Collection and Kirby’s Epic Yarn prove to continue to have no effect on Wii hardware numbers as the console fell below the 12,000 mark for the week.

Next week sees the release of Golden Sun: Dark Dawn for the Nintendo DS. It may have a chance of the top spot, though it will have to deal with competition from Super Mario Collection and Pokemon Black and Pokemon White as well as the new God Eater for the PSP.
