Japanese sales charts, April 9-16: Brains, brains, brains

The sales figures are in for Japan, ranking games of all formats for the week ending April 16. It's a very different picture to charts elsewhere, with brain-training games dominating the top spots (as they have done for weeks), two baseball games at 9 and 10, and the PS2 and DS running rampant. In fact, for anyone out there hoping, there are no Xbox or Xbox 360 titles in the top 50 at all.

The ten bestselling games in Japan for the week ending April 16:

1. Brain Age 2 (Kahashima Ryuuta Kyouju Kanshuu: Motto Nouo Kitaeru Otona DS) [DS]
2. Brain Age: Train your Brain in Minutes a Day (Kahashima Ryuuta Kyouju no Nouo Kitaeru Otona DS Training) [DS]
3. Animal Crossing: Wild World [DS]
4. Legend of Starfy 4 [DS]
5. Guilty Gear XX Slash [PS2]
6. DS English Training [DS]
7. Pokémon Ranger [DS]
8. Final Fantasy XII [PS2]
9. Pro Yakyu Netsu Star 2006 [PS2]
10. Pro Yakyu Spirit 3 [PS2]
