This week’s Media Create software chart shows that the Final Fantasy brand is still fairly strong in Japan, although not as popular as the likes of Monster Hunter and Pokemon. Square Enix’s sequel to the critically maligned Final Fantasy XIII racked up sales of 524 217 copies during its first four days at retail, placing it firmly in pole position.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 was followed by a quartet of 3DS titles, including new entry Inazuma Eleven Go: Shine / Dark which continues Level 5’s entertaining soccer saga.

Two PS Vita titles entered the chart on debut - Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational at number 7 with 61 412 copies sold, and Uncharted: Golden Abyss at number 8 with 48 224 copies. To put things into perspective for you, 324 859 PS Vitas were sold during the same time frame, so it’s fairly simple to work out what percentage of new PSV owners bought one of these two titles.

Head over here for this week’s hardware chart, and cast your gaze below for the top ten most purchased titles during the last week.
