Sales Chart JPN: It's back to kicking the football again.


Week 30 July - 5 August 2007

So Beckham is not the only person in the football world to be making news at his new home in the US. J-League is also making headlines, albeit only on the sales chart. 149,584 kicked some goals this week.

Mario Party 8 is still doing the round at 134,786, and Everybody's Golf 5 is still on everybody's shopping list, coming in 3rd with 64,093. It's holding on, maybe it's because all these perverts old men in Japan can now look at panties all day long. It's still a wonderful world out there for Square Enix's latest game, though just by checking out their website, I'm certainly not going to buy this game.

There were 7 new games in the top 10 last week, this week is back to normal. New Super Mario Bros is back, and so is Wii Sports.

Xbox 360's The Elder Scroll IV is still doing the run at 32st.

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

PS2 - J-League Winning Eleven 2007 Club Championship
Wii - Mario Party 8
PS3 - Everybody's Golf 5
DS - The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

PS2 - 5
PSP - 3
PS3 - 1

Console War VII: Battle for Nippon

PS3 is finally doing somewhat decent numbers, doubling the PS2 like it should. Not even a top Winning Eleven game can push PS2 pass the PS3. While PSP is still far behind, the Wii has dropped for the 3rd week running. Is it like what Kotaku claimed, the Wiidding wedding is over?

Well, the Wii has gone back down to May's level. Hmm, there will be interesting months ahead.

DSL - 135,729
Wii - 61,498
PSP - 33,886
PS3 - 24,289
PS2 - 12,784
Xbox360 - 2,691
