Japan Weekly Software Ranking (Oct 1 - Oct 7)

Dragon Ball Z made it’s presence felt as both the PS2 and Wii version enter all the Japanese charts this week. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII maintains it’s good run for the fourth week. With no major release for our favorite handheld until next month, Gundam Battle Chronicle will probably be the last new PSP games to enter the charts this month. Also notable so far is the PS3 version Shin Sangoku Musou 5’s jump to Amazon Top 10 immediately after it’s release date announcement earlier today.
