Nintendo's Mario Party 8 has come out on top during one of the busiest weeks of sales for several weeks in Japan, with a total of 265,000 units sold. With one of the biggest debuts ever for the series, the game has blocked Sony's Minna no Golf 5 (aka Hot Shots Golf 5/Everybody's Golf 5) on PlayStation 3 from reaching the top spot, with 152,000 unit sales.

Oblivion is doing so well over there. I hope they enjoy it as much as I do/did.

wow mario party is doing well if it have online OMG just think about it.
I just can believe that Mario Party 8 outsold Hot Shots Golf. Not that it's a big deal just didn't expect it.
Considering the difference in the install base, that's a good showing for Sony's title. I'm not surprised by the house of Mario's continued success, but I am somewhat surprised to see it's not selling in a higher ratio to Wii sales. Good showing for Oblivion as well, anyone know if they are doing a ps3 version over there?
