DBZ: Burst Limit PS3 bursts into Japan charts; PSP king again

Before solid snakes… Super Saiyans! Though MGS4 still isn’t accounted for in these charts, it’s still quite a view to behold. For the week June 2 to June 8, 2008, the PS3 version of Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit took the top spot, while the Xbox 360 is making its presence felt in the frequently Nintendo-dominated charts. Hardware sales still have the PSP on top. But what about the rest? Are hardware sales already plateauing? Read more to check out the Media Create software and hardware sales charts.

Last week in Japan, Super Saiyans burst into the scene. Media Create has published its findings for the week June 2 to June 8, 2008, with Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit leading the pack. Note that this is the PS3 version of the game – it’s been a while since a PS3 title claimed top spot – while the Xbox 360 version of Burst Limit is actually in 12th place.

Speaking of the 360, Ninja Gaiden 2 finally debuted, giving the Xbox 360 that much more presence than usual in the Nintendo-filled charts. The Wii’s got a debuting game too: Shiren the Wanderer 3 at spot number 2.

Other mainstays like Mario Kart Wii and Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G are still staying strong towards the top tiers.
