Tales of the World, Demon's Souls take top spots in Japanese charts
The Japanese software charts for the week ending February 8 don't just feature one PlayStation game at the top of the list, but four. It's a grand slam victory for Sony as titles for all of its current systems (PSP, PS3 and PS2) occupy the top four slots. Those titles happen to be two RPGs and two soccer games.
1. Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 (PSP) - 45,000 units sold
2. Demon's Souls (PS3) - 40,000
3. Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PSP) - 38,000
4. Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS2) - 37,000
There was one other PlayStation title that made the top-ten list, though it only came up at number seven. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, Japan's most popular PSP game, took the honors. It seems that game has a permanent spot on the charts, as it has dominated in sales for the majority of last year. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that it has just recently broken the three-million barrier.
