Sales Chart JPN: My Kingdom for a Heart



Weeking ending 1 April 2007

So years after the release of the original Kingdom Hearts II game, you would have thought that the Japanese would have enough of it. Apparently not. This week's ichiban is none other than Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+, with 173,212 units sold.

Coming at number two is last week's top seller, Musou Orochi, still going strong at 73,387. Looks like the Japanese are still getting more Musou action. Not surprising at nubmer three is the DS game, More English Training. Damn those Japanese. They have it good. I want a More Japanese Training game for my DS. Is anyone ever going to develop one? Don't think so.

Somewhere down the list, more Digimon game, Tamagochi game, the Wii Sports has been pushed down to9th this week, but still in the top 10. Not a bad week for new games, with 5 new games entering the top 10.

Amour Core 4 on the XBox 360 has dropped off the radar completely, only to be replaced by Call of Duty 3 at 26th. That will probably drop off by next week though.

Best selling games for each platform (that is on the chart) this week

DS - More English Training
PSP - Monster Hunter Portable 2nd
Wii - Wii Sports
PS2 - Kingdom Heart II Final Mix+
PS3 - Pro Baseball Spirits 4
XBox360 - Call of Duty 3

Number of titles in the top 50 for each platform this week:

DS - 35
PS2 - 6
Wii - 4
PS3 - 3
PSP - 1
XBox360 - 1

Console War VII: Battle for Nippon

Nintendo's sales figure this week has dropped dramatically. Although still outselling the Sony's equvalent, it was nothing like last week. DS sold just under 80,000 and the Wii just over 50,000. Certainly a great constrat to last week.

PSP has dropped slightly as well, and the PS3, well, it was outsold by PS2! That's not too hard to understand why, given the strong sales of PS2 games, both Kingdom Heart II and Musou Orochi taking 1-2 finish.

XBox 360, on the other hand, raised a little over last week.

DSL - 79,897
Wii - 51,365
PSP - 39,077
PS2 - 17,787
PS3 - 16,889
XB360 - 3,889
