Japanese software sales: week ending 02.18.07


Media Create's Japanese sales data for the past week has just been released, revealing a plummet for Virtua Fighter 5 (number one a week earlier, number 25 last week) and a great start for this week's WINNER, Professor Layton:
  1. Professor Layton and the Mysterious Town - 136,736 units sold last week (new entry / Level-5, DS)
  2. Tales of Destiny 2 - 73,022 (new entry / NamcoBandai, PSP)
  3. Bleach DS 2nd - 45,486 (new entry / Sega, DS)
  4. Death Note - 44,600 (new entry / Konami, DS)
  5. Soul Cradle - 43,253 (new entry / Nippon Ichi, PS2)
  6. Picross DS - 41,105 (156,664 sales to date / Nintendo, DS)
  7. Dragon Quest Monsters Joker - 39,598 (1,134,069 / SquareEnix, DS)
  8. Wii Sports - 39,128 (1,043,683 / Nintendo, Wii)
  9. Wii Play - 29,342 (908,774 / Nintendo, Wii)
  10. More Brain Training - 28,254 (3,991,966 / Nintendo, DS)
And here are some lessons we can learn from the big figures:
  • Professor Layton, you are the WINNER
  • PS2 is still a viable format in Japan, with four titles in Media Create's Top 30
  • Very soon, Nintendo will have provided More Brain Training to four million Japanese minds
