In the last chart before Pokemon hits the streets in Japan we have a repeat of Everybody’s Tennis on the top. The game seems to have good legs and will likely hit 500000. Speaking of legs, Final Fantasy III is showing very long ones - but sales are still constrained on the supply side. There are two new games in the top 10 - Gintama is based on an anime and at position 10 is a game that doesn’t translate (I can’t understand any form of Japanese and Google translate doesn’t make it any clearer). Since it doesn’t seem to be known by any English titles, chances are it’s either an anime fighting game, a pachinko slot game or a dating sim. I have discovered that Kenshin is an anime as well. Tingle RPG makes a reappearance in the top 10 and it’s sold surprisingly well for such a strange looking game. Other than that it’s the usual stuff. Next week the charts are going to be overwhelmed with Pokemon, so it’s going to be interesting for sales-watchers…

Another week, another 100,000+ DS Lites sold. Not much else to say except PS2 is seeing a new wave of purchases, probably caused by Everybody’s Tennis at the top of the software charts. It’s pretty amazing that PS2 still outsells every other console except DS Lite despite all the other consoles being newer than it. It’s currently very close to reaching 20 million sales in Japan.
