Week 24 June - 1 July 2007
Robots have taken over the number one this week in the chart. Super Robot Wars: Original Generations has taken over with 345,600 sold. Last week's ichiban, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass cleared out another 136,586 while Square Enix's Mario X Dragon Quest board game, Itadaki Street DS, took out 3rd place (60,256). Everyone is still trying to fix their eyes. Seriously, I don't see Eye Training to drop out the top 10 any time soon.
An interesting week for the new games. Fifteen new games graced the top 50, with 6 out of the top 10 are new games, with PS2's Super Robot Wars taking the charge, and (yet another) English Training bringing up the rear in 10th. Seriously, how many Japanese need English training? I mean, this game is the 925th English training game I've seen. They must really need them, like "I need air" need them.
Anyway, that relegated a lot of the old game down, but I expect them to bound back up in the top 10 next week. Games like Wii Play and Brain Training will surely go back up.
Biggest drop has to be FolkSoul on the PS3, falling hard from 11th last week to 45th, way behind the Ninja. All the Xbox games (Trusty Bell & Saints Row) have disappeared.

Anyone going to stop the DS? I don't think so. Another 150K+ week for the DS, outselling everything else combined (again!). This week has the DS outselling PSP 4 to 1, and the Wii 6 to 1 against the PS3. PS2's figure is boosted by the fact that new games are still popping out of the PS2's butt faster than the PS3. Xbox 360, as usual, lacks far far far behind.

Wii - 73,919
PSP - 38,305
PS2 - 16,316
PS3 - 11,914
