Famitsu Software Stuff
Mario & Luigi RPG 3 (3432) is now the top Mario & Luigi game, and still has yet to drop from the top 10.
Yakuza 3 (3445) ranks 30th this week, so it's probably the last time we'll get an LTD update from the top 30. Yakuza 2's (2540) lead is growing.
This is the thirteenth week of Famitsu software sales for the year, so a full quarter. Using the combined Top 30 we can get a pretty good idea of the top games of the year so far. In fact, of the Top 10 the only one we don't have complete data for is Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, since it was last in the Top 30 a month ago. So while it sits #8 on this list, in reality it's probably #6.
1. 467,891 DS - Mario & Luigi RPG 3
2. 459,876 PS3 - Yakuza 3
3. 428,545 PS3 - Resident Evil 5
4. 356,305 PSP - Monster Hunter Portable 2 G (BEST)
5. 355,784 PSP - Shin Sangoku Musou: Multi Raid
6. 301,609 Wii - Wii Fit
7. 300,753 DS - Rhythm Heaven
8. 296,037 PSP - Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2
9. 243,240 DS - Wagamama Fashion: Girls Mode
10. 220,550 Wii - Taiko no Tatsujin Wii
