    Simple 2000: The Japanese Software Chart

    If you had told me that Kekkaishi: Karasumori Ayakashi Kidan for the Nintendo DS would best the debut of Bleach: Heat The Soul 4, I'd have said you'd lost your damn mind. Fortunately, no one was bold enough to make that claim, so I'll save face with this week's Media Create sales chart. Last week's top three didn't have much time in the top ten limelight, with personal favorite Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2 selling well enough to make a top 30 appearance.

    Here are the top 10 games sold in Japan for the week of May 21st to the 27th.

    01. Kekkaishi: Karasumori Ayakashi Kidan (DS) - 40,741 / NEW
    02. Bleach: Heat The Soul 4 (PSP) - 37,764 / NEW
    03. Shin Lucky * Star Moe Drill: Tabidachi (DS) - 30,397 / NEW

    05. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War (PSP) - 26,019 / 220,390

    09. More English Training (DS) - 19,375 / 237,206
    10. Wii Play (Wii) - 18,477 / 1,336,284

    Make the jump for the lone Xbox 360 release. Can you guess what it is?

    11. Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)
    12. Shining Wind (PS2)
    13. Yoshi's Island DS (DS)
    14. Pachinko Ultraman Pachitte Chonmage Tatsujin 12 (PS2)
    15. Super Paper Mario (Wii)

    18. Mario Kart DS (DS)

    28. Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 March of the Minis (DS)
    29. Medal of Honor: Vanguard (PS2)
    30. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd (PSP)

    Nice showing, Forza Motorsport 2! Pretty uneventful week all around, I'd say. Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition and Miru Chikara wo Jissen de Kitearu: DS Ganriki Training both should make high ranking appearances next week. Which brave sales watcher wants to make a bet on the #1 spot? Michael McWhertor
