Yakuza: Of the End Dominates Japanese Software Charts

Sega's Yakuza: Of the End stormed the Japanese software sales charts last week, selling more units than the rest of the top 20 combined, according to Media Create sales tracking. For the week ended June 12, Neogaf has posted the charts which saw Capcom's Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D continue to sell firmly, with 58,792 copies. This couldn't compare, however, to the 298,717 copies of Yakuza sold. Both Battle & Get! Pokemon Typing DS and Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 - Professional stuck to their respective number three and four spots, while last week's high ranking 3DS title One Piece: Unlimited Cruise SP fell to number five. Elsewhere, new additions included Gekiatsu!! Pachi Game Tamashi Portable Vol. 1: CR Evangelion - Shinjitsu no Tsubasa at number six, with Volume 2 taking up position at number 20. Red Faction: Armageddon on PlayStation 3 was also a newcomer, and entered the charts at number nine with 5,436 copies sold. Nintendo continued to dominate the lower half of the chart, with the likes of Wii Sports Resort, Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit Plus all sitting comfortably. Below is Media Create's top 20 sales chart for the week ended June 12, 2011.
