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.
