Japan’s Hardware, Software Sales (Oct 24-30)

Not surprisingly, a Final Fantasy title has claimed the top spot in Japan's software sales, with the PSP's Final Fantasy Type-0 handing everyone their ass. What may be a bit of a shock is that it sold half a million in just its first weekend. That's getting into like, Monster Hunter territory right there. We'll just see if it has the staying power of Monster Hunter, though, as MH Portable 3 hung around in the top 20 for months and months longer than virtually every other game out there. The chart looks like this:

1. (PSP) Final Fantasy Type-0

2. (WII) Kirby's Return to Dream Land

3. (PS3) The Idolmaster 2

4. (WII) Just Dance Wii

5. (WII) Go Vacation

6. (PS3) Disgaea 4: Fuuka & Desco-hen Hajime Mashita

7. (PSP) Ro-Kyu-Bu!

8. (PS3) Gekijouban Macross F: Sayonara no Tsubasa – Hybrid Pack

9. (PSP) Senritsu no Stratus

10. (PSP) Ragnarok: Hikari to Yami no Koujo

11. (PS3) Dead Island

12. (PS3) World Soccer Winning Eleven 2012

13. (PSP) AKB1/48: Idol to Guam de Koishitara…

14. (WII) Wii Sports Resort with Remote Plus

15. (PSP) Naruto Shippuden: Narutimate Impact

16. (WII) Rhythm Heaven: Fever

17. (PS3) FIFA 12

18. (PSP) Arcana Famiglia: La Storia Della Arcana Famiglia

19. (PS3) Ace Combat: Assault Horizon

20. (NDS) Kirby Mass Attack

Hardware sales, meanwhile, look a little summon like this:

3DS – 65,041

PSP – 30,605

PS3 – 25,217

Wii – 11,784

DSi LL – 2,009

Xbox 360 – 1,704

PS2 – 1,228

DSi – 1,061

DS Lite – 55

Odd that the 3DS is going so nuts in hardware sales, yet doesn't have a single game in the top 20 for software.
