Japan Weekly Software Ranking (Mar 30 – Apr 5)

Mobile Suit Gundam: Senjou no Kizuna Portable retains its top position in the latest Japanese charts for the second consecutive week thanks to the lack of major new releases last week. This also enable Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP The Best), which has consistently sold over 20,000 copies on weekly basis for the past few weeks, move up to 3rd in Enterbrain’s chart. Probably why Capcom won’t announce MHP 3rd anytime soon :) Next week, Capcom has another popular series for home consoles making its PSP debut with local multiplayer focus. Sengoku Basara Battle Heroes probably won’t be as hot as MHP but with the amount of promotion its getting, should do pretty well.

Note: Charts will be updated with more figures when they become available, view the Top 10 after the jump, ranking in full can be view here.
