We have another pretty slow week in Japan, with DBZ: Sparking! Meteor for the PS2 being the top seller with 204k units sold. Then, the number drops down to 86k for Gundam Battle Chronicle for the PSP. The rest of the top 5 rounds out with Archaic Sealed Heat (DS - 50k), DBZ: Sparking! Meteor (Wii - 40k) and Jikkyou Powerful Major League 2 (PS2 - 35k).

Also noted, #1 on last week's list, Halo 3, isn't in the top 30 this week. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Time and Shadow and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII continue to sell. The top 5 in this week's list are all new releases.

For Top 10, Numbers: Current Week / Lifetime to Date

    Well PS3 sucks...

    COuldnt they of just stuck with the Budokai series instead of making a new series... Tenkaichi is enough!

    It's good to see Pokemon still up in the top 10!

    Right, funny to say that PS3 game was the Game of the Year a while ago, which pretty much rapes every other game on that list hands down, *bleep*ing morons.

    Then again, this is Japan...pretty much the ONLY place where games like Pokemon and DBZ would ever reign supreme.

    Is what I'm thinking correct, do people think I was dissing the PS3 because of my 1st comment? PS3 is the only console I own and will more than likely be the only console of this generation I own.

    The failure rate of the 360 has guaranteed that I will never buy one.

    The Wii is not a console I can see me playing for hours if I were to buy it.
