Japan Weekly Software Ranking (Nov 5 - Nov 11)

The PlayStation 3 40Gb model (I’m getting one this weekend :) launch last Sunday made this week’s Japanese charts an interesting one. However, Mario Party DS took the top spot, edging out PS3 version of Shin Sangoku Musou 5 by around 47,000 copies according to Media Create. Konami and Koji Igarashi, the producer, will certainly be happy to see Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles performance as well, the game sold almost 20,000 copies.
