Japan’s top 50 game sales, April 4 to 8

Media Create logo - Image 1 Up ahead is last week’s game sales charts from Japan, courtesy of the Media Create site (and NeoGAF, who did the translations). Topping out the list is the newly released Naruto Shippūden: Narutimate Accel for the PlayStation 2 (PS2).

Second (and new) on the list is Kidou Senshi Gundam SEED Alliance vs. ZAFT Portable, with Yoshi’s Island DS taking third place. Another noted newcomer to this the top 10 is Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball Portable 2, which holds at eight. There you have it – ninjas, mecha, cute monsters, and baseball appear to be on the minds of many of Japan’s consumers…although we shudder at the thought of combining all these traits into one game. Just keep posted in case new numbers pop up.

*The numbers on the left side indicate sales for the week alone – the larger numbers on the right indicate sales since the game’s release.
