Japan Weekly Software Ranking (June 2 - June 8)
Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit is the best selling high profile launches last Thursday with more than 90,000 copies sold. Other big launches including Sega’s beautiful RPG Fushigi no Dungeon - Furai no Shiren 3: Karakuri Yashiki no Nemuri Hime for the Wii, Ninja Gaiden II for Xbox 360 and the second DS Yamamura Misa Suspense game, the first one did really well last October.
However, three PSP games manage to stay in the charts with Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu Portable 3 sold another 43,000 copies and Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G outselling Ninja Gaiden II. I’m very surprised at Valhalla Knights 2’s staying power as well, the game now sold 50,000 copies. Early hardware figures say PSP still the leader with 53,000 units sold but Wii is not far behind with around 40,000 units sold.
There will be no major PSP game release again this week, but all eyes will be on a little game called Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, which has just arrived on my table 10 minutes ago.

I really wonder… why does PSP still sell so well in Japan even though there aren’t any GREAT games available in the near future :)
