Media Create Releases Top Sales List For Early January

Beginning-of-year game sales in the Japan is an important figure for some industry statistics crunchers, so Media Create has dropped a list of video game bestsellers from the period of January 5th,  2009 to January 15th, 2009. Dissidia: Final Fantasy occupies the top spot, which doesn’t really surprise anybody.

Dissidia: Final Fantasy, from Square Enix, has occupied the number-one slot for game sales for three weeks in a row, ever since it launched at #1. Not much on the list is outright startling, except that one PS2 still holds a spot in the top-ten. The PS2 really knows how to hang in there, which, on second thought, isn’t really surprising, considering what a kick-butt system it was and still is. Here’s the official run-down from Media Create:

• Dissidia Final Fantasy – PSP – Square Enix
• Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP The Best) – PSP – Capcom
• Rhythm Tengoku Gold – DS – Nintendo
• Wii Fit – Wii – Nintendo
• Wagamama Fashion Girls Mode – DS – Nintendo
• White Knight Chronicles – PS3 – SCEJ
• Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec III – PS3 – SCEJ
• Gundam Musou 2 – PS2 – Bandai
• Hoshi no Kirby: Ultra Super Deluxe – DS – Nintendo
• Mario Kart Wii – Wii – Nintendo

There it is, folks. Chances are you own at least a few of those titles yourself. Stay glued to your screens for more sales rankings, which we’ll post right here as the year unfolds.
