New titles propel Sony software in Japan

According to the latest information from Media Create for software sales in Japan last week, nearly twice as many units were sold for Sony consoles in the top ten as for Nintendo platforms.

This was largely due to robot fest Another Century's Episode 3: The Final moving straight into the top slot and shifting 186,000 copies alone, although Sony platform titles did make up four of the top ten, balancing the chart a little more than it has been in the recent past.

Other new entries last week included Haro Ichiza: Gundam Mahjongg for the DS at number six, and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories on the PlayStation 2 in at number seven.

The rest of the chart is as follows:

1. Another Century's Episode 3: The Final (PS2)

2. Final Fantasy Chronicles: Ring of Fates (DS)

3. Mario Party 8 (Wii)

4. Sengoku Musuo 2: Moushouden (PS2)

5. Bladestorm (PS3)

6. Haro Ichiza: Gundam Mahjonng (DS)

7. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (PS2)

8. My Housekeeping Diary (DS)

9. Wii Play (Wii)

10. Wii Sports (Wii)
