Japan Weekly Software Ranking (May 26 - June 1)

We have seven new entries in the charts this week and it’s great to see three of them are PSP titles, including top spot for Konami’s Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu Portable 3. The popular baseball series with cute characters have a surprisingly big opening week with close to 110,000 copies sold, that’s almost the cumulative sales of the previous game. Famitsu says it’s the Success Mode and My Life Mode in the game that help pushed the game’s sales.

Another impressive PSP title is Valhalla Knights 2’s 35,000 start, beating the original game’s first week and hope it bodes well for its US release. Of the three adventure games released on the PSP, Clannad proved that it’s the most popular with almost 30,000 copies while the two Memories Off games only have a combined sales of 8,000 copies.
