Here’s something you don’t see often. For the first
time in a long time, Sony software dominated the weekly sales
chart for April 2nd-8th. Six of the ten spots belonged to a
PlayStation format game, as the PS2 and PSP held both the #1 and
#2 sales spot, respectively. The all new Naruto game for the PS2
went on to sell 75,5k copies. Meanwhile the Japanese continue to
demonstrate their love for all things Gundam, as the newest
Gundam SEED for the PSP sold 59k games.
Yoshi continues to give it his all, as the little green guy sold
another 48k, which raises the question; could we see another
million seller for the DS? Musou Orochi refuses to drop off, as
it maintains the fifth slot with 36k sold. Likewise, Prof Layton
shows that its legs are longer than that of a Victoria's Secret
model, as it re-enters the chart for, what may be, one last top
10 sales hurrah.
Hardware results will come soon.
