Sony Begin To Power In Japan -- Occupy The Top Four Of The Charts (No Nintendo)

Many believe Sony's Playstation 3 will temporarily overtake Nintendo Wii sales for at least a week in the coming month or so

Selling Like Metaphorical Hot Cakes.

With Street Fighter IV, Yakuza 3 and Resident Evil 5 all poised to release and White Knight Chronicles and Demon Souls already out it's certainly a strong Q1 lineup.

So it's rewarding to see Sony dominate the Top 4 of the Japanese charts without a Nintendo game in sight. The list goes:

1. Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 (PSP) - 45,000 units sold
2. Demon's Souls (PS3) - 40,000
3. Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PSP) - 38,000
4. Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS2) - 37,000

Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G was also in the top ten. Interesting that same game has just topped 3 million (yes 3 million) sales in Japan.
