    Simple 2000: The Japanese Software Chart

    I don't want to be that guy, but I totally called it. Both Miru Chikara wo Jissen de Kitearu: DS Ganriki Training (which I'm now referring to as simply DS Observation Training) and Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition took over the top two spots in this week's edition of Media Create software sales, as sort of predicted.

    In better news, Ouendan 2 crept back up into the top ten, pushing total sells over 100,000 units. Nice! Here are the top ten for the week of May 28th to June 3rd.

    01. DS Observation Training (DS) - 94,834 / NEW
    02. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (Wii) - 43,771 / NEW

    05. Wii Sports (Wii) - 28,612 / 1,657,818

    10. Momotarou Dentetsu DS: Tokyo & Japan (DS) - 16,395 / 186,924
