With the Japanese New Year gift-giving season now over, sales for the week have predictably slowed – analogous to the first weeks after Christmas in the West. There are again no new entries, with limited movement in the chart overall.
Square Enix’s
Dissidia: Final Fantasy is once again the number one seller, with weekly sales of 49,000 units and lifetime sales-to-date of 819,000.
The budget re-release of Capcom’s
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, also on PSP, moves up to number two, with overall sales of the game in Japan now well on their way towards 3 million units.
Although overall sales are low, this has proven a good week for Sony. Fully half of the top 10 is composed of PlayStation titles, with
White Knight Chronicles on PlayStation 3 holding steady at number six and
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue: Spec III moving up four places to number 11.
Namco Bandai and Koei co-production
Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 on PlayStation 2 also rises 11 places to number eight, with the PS3 version up five places to number 15.
