    Simple 2000: The Japanese Software Chart

    What? Japanese software charts on a Monday? Crazy, but also true. With Golden Week shutting down communication with all of Japan, we had to rely on data from Famitsu to take the pulse of our gaming allies, minus the quantitative fun that only Media Create can provide.

    You must already know that Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings (unsurprisingly) took the #1 spot during its release week, but with over a quarter million sold in the week following its debut, I think it's safe to say we'll see more Final Fantasys on the horizon. Crazy speculation, I know, but look at these stellar sales!

    01. Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings (DS) - 274,004 / NEW
    02. Momotarou Dentetsu DS Tokyo & Japan (DS) - 78,980 / NEW
