Japanese Sales, Media Create - July 31st - August 6th

   At the end of last week Media Create released the top 10 best selling titles of Japan. For the first time in a very long time, DS powerhouse Brain Age has finally slipped out of the top 10. Selling 4 million units to date, the slip of Brain Age is a disappointment to those who novel at the fact that a game that simple, in a generation this complex, did so monstrously well. Alas, all good things must come to an end. The new top tier holder is the PSP's new Gundam game. Without further adieu, here is the top 10:
