« Neo Geo Pocket Revival On NDS | Main | TGFPG: Japan Gets All The Cool Stuff »
Famitsu, the leading publication covering Japanese gaming, has unveiled the sales figures for games and systems in Japan for the week of 6/19 through 6/25. Square Enix's Valkyrie Profile 2 for PS2 was the number one selling game selling over 300,000 in its first week. The best selling system? The DS Lite, of course, with over 150,000 units sold.
Here are the top ten selling games in Japan for the week of 6/19 through 6/25 with overall sales figures in brackets. While it is encouraging to see the DS dominate in Japan, you have to wonder if third party developer's are ever going to be invited to the party or if it is just going to be all Nintendo all the time.
