Japan video game sales charts: Last week’s top 10
Portable video game consoles appear to reign once again, as we bring in last week’s hardware sales in Japan. Reports show that Yoshi’s Island 2 for the DS leads the pack with a little over 300,000 sales in its first week in Japan, while the rest of the top ten is dotted by other DS games like Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker.
The reports also show Japan’s mecha fever has simmered down considerably, with Gundam Musou (PlayStation 3) and Super Robot Wars W now lowered to seventh and fifth place respectively.
