It's a decent if not slow sales week for Japan, with some new titles mixed into the top 10 along with some recurring titles. The top seller this week is a new DS game:
DS Nishimura Kyotarou Suspense Detective Series: Deadly Intent with 61k units sold. Following it is
last week's number one, the PS2 version of
Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! Meteor with 47k units sold. Rounding out the top five is
Gundam Battle Chronicle (PSP - 28k),
Pokémon Mysterious Dungeon: Time Expedition Party (DS - 26k) and
Arcana Heart (PS2 - 23k).
In terms of hardware numbers, it's what you'd usually expect. DS Lite is on top of the PSP, and Wii on top of PS3 in turn on top of 360. The GBA SP, GameCube and Game Boy Micro are still selling. Media Create removed the DS and original GBA from their list.
Notables:
Both Pokémon Mysterious Dungeon games are still in the top 10.
Lair breaks the top 10 at #7 with 22k sold.
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII drops out of the top 10 to #12.
Halo 3 is now ranked #48
