Super Mario 3D Land becomes the best-selling 3D Mario game for its first week, while the 3DS surges...

Mario has landed in Japan. The latest Media Create charts (via Andriasang) and it brings more than a bit of nostalgia for the DS-domination days. Super Mario 3D Land was of course the headline release, and it managed to beat out the first week sales of every preceding 3D Mario platformer - just slightly taking the crown from Super Mario Galaxy 2.
