Sales Chart JPN: Zelda swung back

Week 2 July - 8 July 2007

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is back on top this week, shipping 74,937 copies after being relegated to second spot last week. It has muscled its way back to form. Another mecha (the non-violent variant), Chibi Robo! Park Patrol, fought off the super robots to 2nd place, while Super Robot Wars: Original Generations takes the reign in 3rd. Eye Training is still there (42,279). It's not going to get off the chart. Ever. Just like Wii Sports.

The touchy touchy witch game Doki Doki Majo Shinpan only managed to debut at 11th. It's quite anti-climax, really. I thought it would do better than that.

Anyhow, PS3 has yet another game on the chart. My Summer Vacation 3 actually made it on the top 10 at 7th, while another débutante, Blazing Angels, made it at 47th! The biggest drop is also on the PS3. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas dropped from 19th to 46rd.
