For a long time it was rare to see even one 3DS title on the top ten Media Create software chart. This week there are no less than five - demonstrating just how far Nintendo’s once struggling handheld has come in the last ten months.
There are no new entries on this week’s chart, and the top-selling titles didn’t move a particularly large number of units due to a combination of businesses being closed between Christmas and New Year’s Day, and consumers being broke after the holiday spending splurge.
There are no PS Vita titles in the top ten for the second week running, although digital sales of PSV software on the PlayStation Store are not included in the Media Create figures.
You can find this week’s top ten games below, while the hardware chart is over here.

This just shows the 3DS is still strong. I would love to get one to play Mario and Resident Evil. I don't see any PS Vita titles on the list....the games for the Vita are bit expensive....
Mario will NEVER die. O_O
And Vita is going to slowly pick up speed. Launch title are never the best, so it's understandable there's none of the games here.
I would love to play resident evil and SD Gundam
Goooo Mario Kart 7!
FF XIII-2 is already out in Japan? Daaang, I think I'll go there for a holiday since they seem to get everything first ;)
