After a large number of new releases in the last few weeks the Japanese sales charts have suddenly ground to a halt. There’s not a single new entry in the top ten this week, although Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space was able to reclaim the number one spot from last week’s usurper Drag-on Dragoon (to be known as Drakengard in the West). The most interesting news though is that last week the Xbox was outsold not only by the PS one but also by Bandai’s Wonderswan Crystal – a portable console which the company is no longer even manufacturing! Microsoft's console managed to account for only 0.39% of hardware sales in that week, one of their worst performances ever.
