Still selling, then

Kid Icarus: Uprising is doing the business for Nintendo in Japan, as hardware sales following its release increased nearly 50% week-on-week.

As Masahiro Sakurai's game sold 132,526 units in Japan to top the software chart, 3DS hardware sales hit 94,011, up almost exactly 30,000 on the previous week's tally of 64,017. 3DS accounted for 57% of all hardware sales in Japan and was streets ahead of its nearest rival, Sony's PS3 with 25,750 sales. PS Vita meanwhile maintains sales around the 10,000 mark.

In the software charts, DS crossover Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition stayed strong in third place, with 65,046 sales bringing it near the quarter-million mark. Lower down the top ten, Nintendo's pre-Christmas trio of Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land and Monster Hunter 3 G all sold over 20,000 units. Mario Kart 7 has passed the 1.5m mark, a truly impressive achievement.
