This Week In Sales: Black Panther: Yakuza Blows Out Louder

Recommended Videos

The week of September 20th – 26th. PokĂ©mon Black/White once again reside at the very top of the sales chart, unwavering in their resolve to conquer all of Japan. Meanwhile, Ohtani Ikue conquers Japan in her own special way.

 

The story of the week, of course, is Black Panther: New Yakuza chapter, SEGA’s PSP Yakuza spin-off starring a completely new, younger protagonist. In its first week, Black Panther moved 174,213 units. Not as much as Yakuza 4’s grand debut at 383,972 units, but impressive nonetheless, given how much less the PSP game must have cost to develop.

 

Meanwhile, ASCII Media Works released Durarara!! 3way Standoff for PSP, which came in at 21,566 units. The top 20 for the week is as follows:
