Two portable Sony titles are dominating Japan, and the 3DS is still the reigning hardware for the week.
It's tough and risky to launch a new IP and then wager on its success, but recent title Gravity Rush seems to be enjoying a good amount of sales alongside a Suikoden sequel on this week's Media Create sales update. The PS Vita adventure title was at second place, with 43,462 units sold, while Konami's RPG entry for the PSP was at the top, with 61,784 units sold. Meanwhile, former fourth-place holder Ragnarok Odyssey dropped to ninth place, with 8117 units sold.
Gravity Rush puts gamers into the shoes of Kat, a young girl with a unique power to control gravity around her. The game's lead director is Keiichiro Toyama, who is renowned for the first Silent Hill title, and for Siren. For more information, check out GameSpot's in-depth coverage of the Hong Kong version of the game.
The latest Suikoden title, Genso Suikoden: Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki, is about a warrior who is sent back to the past to gather a group of soldiers to combat a threat that appears every 100 years to wipe out all forms of life. The game's combat system is turn based. Players can have a party of six warriors and perform team-up attacks, as well as learn skills from each other to boost their effectiveness.
Following just behind are a slew of 3DS titles still clinging on to the top 10 since their releases. Resident Evil: Revelations for the 3DS was at third place, with 26,106 units sold, while Mario Kart 7 for the 3DS was at fourth place, with 23,758 units sold. Capcom's recent Monster Hunter title for the 3DS was still staying strong at fifth place, with 21,318 units sold, while Super Mario 3D Land trailed behind, with 19,673 units sold.
Non-mobile titles in the top 10 include the recent reiteration of Gran Turismo 5, subtitled Spec II. The racing title from Polyphony Digital was at seventh place, with 12,613 units sold, with the PS3 version of Armored Core V right behind, with 11,673 units sold. Capping off the top 10 was Just Dance Wii, with 7896 units sold.
On the hardware end of the spectrum, the 3DS was still on top, with 67,558 units sold. This was followed by all three of Sony's platforms: the PS3 sold 22,002 units, while the PSP and PS Vita portable systems sold 15,860 and 13,939 units, respectively.
