Sony platforms storm Japanese software charts

Sony platforms had the two highest entries in the Japanese charts this week, with Tokyo Jungle pushing Dragon Quest Monsters from the top spot.

Sony's PlayStation 3 title sold more than 110,000 units in its debut week, and, in an encouraging development for Vita software in the country, Namco Bandai's Gundam Seed Battle Destiny entered the charts in third place, selling 40,000 units.

The success of Gundam Seed Battle Destiny had a positive impact on sales of the Vita, nearly doubling last week's total to more than 13,000 units. However, the 3DS comfortably held the top spot despite a 40 per cent drop in unit sales.
