Japan‘s Media Create group has recently posted their tallies for the region’s software sales ending December 16. And if you thought the list’s top ten slots still belong to the likes of Nintendo Wii or DS games, think again.

New to the list is Gran Turismo 5 Prologue – the teaser title for Polyphony Digital’s Gran Turismo 5. Prologue has accumulated a total of 116,000 sales last week – impressive figures for a demo game that’s hit the road just three days prior to this survey’s conclusion. Here’s to hoping the full title gets an equally warm reception when it launches next year. As for the rest of Media Create’s top 30 (via neoGAF):
