Japan Weekly Software Ranking (Sep 24 – Sep 30)

Four PSP titles in Enterbrain’s chart? That’s something new and worth bringing back the software charts. PlayStation had a good week in general and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is still going strong after three weeks, something rare for an RPG title. Instead of relying on just one source (Media Create), I think it’s more interesting if we can see the ranking of four major software sales tracking services in Japan. Click on the link below for the charts, updated throughout the week as soon as they were published.

    hmm so much differences between some of those charts… so, basically they are quite subjective :)
