Week 10 September - 16 September 2007
Final Fantasy VII was made 2 generations ago, all the way back on the PSX. FFVII has been hailed arguably as the BEST FF game there is. I haven't finished it, so I can't tell. But what is certain is that Square Enix hasn't finished milking the series yet.
Given the popularity of FFVII, it's not surprising that PSP's Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core topped the chart this week with 486,659. The other Final Fantasy on the DS, the FF Chronicle Ring of Fate is still at no. 8 with 23,672.
Next in no.2 and 3 are another milking series, the Pokemon. It's another Pokemon Dungeon something rather something. Yeah, don't ask. I have no idea why it's still selling like there's no tomorrow, but they are. And since they are, why not make two of the same game, and then give it a different colour each - blue and red. Oh look, we can double our sales by selling essentially the same game!
4th belong to another PSP game - Fate / Tiger Colosseum. I think it's based on the Fate/Stay Night anime series.
Nothing else is interesting on the top 10. But look! Wii Sports is at no. 14! and Xbox 360 has Musou Orochi at no 33!
