Media Create 10/22/07 - 10/28/07 Japanese Software Sales Rankings + Hardware Numbers

Akira_EX | November 02, 2007 | Industry News | Playstation 2 Playstation 3 
From the outset, this past week's Media Create numbers indicate a strong sales week, but the numbers quickly drop, with a substantial decrease from #1 to #3. Also, seven out of the top ten are new releases.

Topping this week's list is Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift for the Nintendo DS, selling 142k copies of the game in its first week. Coming second is the sequel to a Gust RPG, Ar tonelico 2: Sekai ni Hibiku Shoujotachi no Metafalica for the PS2, coming in at 72k units. Rounding out the top 5 is Konami's Winning Eleven DS (NDS - 29k), Imabikisou (PS3 - 23k) from Sega, and finally, last week's #2, the DS Literature Collection (NDS - 21k) from Nintendo.

In regards to hardware numbers, the Nintendo DS gained 6k more units, and the Wii gained 2.5k, while both the PSP and the PS3 gained 1k each. Super Mario Galaxy released yesterday in Japan, and its impact will be seen in next week's numbers.

Notables:
The only three games to remain in the top 10 this week are the DS Literature Collection (NDS) at #5, the DS Nishimura Suspense Detective Series (NDS) at #9, and Pokémon Mysterious Dungeon: Time Expedition Party (NDS) at #10.
Pokémon Mysterious Dungeon: Shadow Expedition Party (NDS) falls to #12 after being #8 last week.

    Jesus, they love their handhelds don't they?

    ROFL, at Bladestorm...I bet if it were another dynasty warriors it would have sold a lot better.

      PS3 outselling the 360 in Japan is a common thing.

        I don't see Japanese gamers as the type that buy X-Box 360s... more like Nintendo Wiis and PS3s!

        I can't wait till next weeks one which has Super Mario Galaxys numbers! =D
