Dragon Quest and DS Top Last Week’s Japanese Sales Charts

Posted by admin On May - 14 - 2010

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 After a big week for the PSP in Japan two weeks ago, the DS saw another solid performance last week (in Japan!). Media Create sales numbers (via CVG) for May 3 – May 9 show that, while total sales of the PSP (including both Go and non-Go versions) dropped from 61,205 units to 36,697, the DS (Lite, DSi, and XL) increased slightly from 45,265 to 46,393, good enough for first place. The PSP took second place, followed by the Nintendo Wii with 31,399 units sold, a small bump over the prior week’s total of 30,757.

On the software side, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 took the top spot by a margin of more than 110,000 units over the number two game, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. It’s not much of a shocker to see a Dragon Quest game do well in Japan; since its release on April 28 through May 9, it’s already sold 876,000 units.

After Metal Gear Solid and Dragon Quest, you’ll find six of the top ten games are Nintendo products, so between that and the DS taking back the top hardware spot, it seems like a pretty good week for Nintendo.
