This Week In Sales: Last Week Final Mix+

By Ishaan . April 18, 2010 . 7:26pm

When our “This Week In Imports” column for the week of April 5th – 11th went up, I wondered why it was subtitled “Atelier Judie Or Bust.” It wasn’t like Spencer to be extremist. Once read the post, I realized it was because Atelier Judie was virtually the only notable “new” release in Japan for the week.

Unfortunately, it debuted outside of the top-ten at the #12 position on the weekly Media Create software sales ranking, with 9,000 units sold. The top-ten itself is mostly a re-shuffling of last week’s sales report.

Lw	Tw	Title	Tw. Sales	Tot. Sales	Sys.	Publisher
05.	01.	New Super Mario Bros. Wii	37,244	3,654,631	Wii	Nintendo
02.	02.	Fist of the North Star: Musou	34,262	491,186	PS3	Koei
04.	03.	Pro Baseball Spirits 2010	31,127	81,853	PSP	Konami
03.	04.	Pro Baseball Spirits 2010	30,624	87,760	PS3	Konami
06.	05.	Tomodachi Collection	22,563	3,090,041	DS	Nintendo
08.	06.	Pokémon Ranger: Tracks of Light	20,359	380,537	DS	Nintendo
01.	07.	Etrian Odyssey III	19,257	107,022	DS	Atlus
07.	08.	Yakuza 4	17,788	518,883	PS3	Sega
11	09.	Wii Fit Plus	15,380	1,818,000	Wii	Nintendo
14.	10.	Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (The Best)	11,240	246,000	PSP	Capcom

On a slightly bright note, the lack of new releases gave games like Yakuza 4 and Fist of the North Star: Musou another week to shine in the top-ten rankings. It’s also interesting that the PSP version of Pro Baseball Spirits 2010 rose higher up on the chart, while the PS3 version went down.
