Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Still Biggest Software Seller in Japan

Despite Square Enix releasing the HD upgrade for Kingdom Hearts 2 on PlayStation 3, Nintendo has retained the top sales spot in the far east with Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, moving an added 100,000 units to bring its total sold to just under 1.5 million.
