Media Create Japan Software Sales: March 12th-18th
Another fun filled week of sales data from Japan, and things
continue to remain the same - Nintendo DS software dominates the
spots. Yoshi's Island DS remains in first place with 132k sold
through. World Puzzle, a debut for Namco-Bandai, took in 72k
sold. And Capcom continues to walk strong with Monster Hunter
Portable 2nd, as it went on to sell another 64k units - climbing
past the one million mark sold (not shipped). Only three debuts
made on to the chart, and games like Wii Sports, Wii Play,
Professor Layton, and Dragon Quest Monster Joker continue to
remain in the top 10. Gundam Musou has dropped off the chart
after two weeks, but it's not too far out at the 14th spot.
