EL33TONLINE: News – Media Create Japanese Software Sales for week ending January 15th: 3DS domination
The 3DS is fast establishing itself as the console to own in Japan. Not only is it dominating the hardware chart week after week, but now it’s taking over the software chart too. This week there are no less than six 3DS titles in the top ten, with four of the top five games appearing on Nintendo’s handheld.
No game managed to shift over 100k units this week, although newly released PSP title Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Masou Kishin II came closest with 81 896 copies sold.
Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir on 3DS was the second highest new entry on this week’s chart. This is an augmented reality horror game in the well-known Fatal Frame series, and was recently given a North American release date of April 13th.
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy is the third and final new entry on this week’s chart. The game only sold 12 819 copies during its first four days on sale, but at least it assists in providing 3DS owners with a larger catalogue of games to choose from.
