Media Create charts ending October 7: DS and Gundams take the lead
The numbers are in for Japan‘s hardware and software sales for the week ended October 7. While titles like Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII by Square Enix have helped boost PSP sales for the past few weeks, the handheld finds itself bowing down to the Nintendo DS.
The DS tops the week’s charts at 87,535 sales, with the PSP following at 86,895 sales. The week also sees the Nintendo Wii console maintaining its lead among the next-gen consoles at 20,704 sales. Sony’s PlayStation 3 follows with 10,446 sales, with Microsoft’s Xbox 360 sales totalling 1547.
Things look a little brighter for the PSP games-wise, as we see Gundam Battle Chronicle by Namco-Bandai pulling ahead in Media Create‘s charts with 86,208 sales. Pretty good for a game that was just launched on October 4. The DS’ own leader in th charts is ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat by Mistwalker, at 49,678 copies sold. The title looks to be quite a heavyweight, being the DS’ first game to use a 2 gigabit (or 256 megabyte) game card.
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 by Namco-Bandai, Atari for the Wii is the only visible title for the next-gen consoles in media Create’s top 10, at 34,577 copies sold.
