Posted 20 Feb 2013 at 15:18 by Aaron Clegg
Another Wednesday, another set of weekly Japanese charts, though there's about as much unexpected activity as in a Square-Enix RPG.
Speaking of which, the 3DS remake of Dragon Quest VII has remained on top of the software chart, and passed a million units sold after just two weeks on sale. Remarkably, the rest of the top 10 consisted of 3DS titles also, except for the definitive edition of Taiko no Tatsujin on Wii.
Other milestones closed to being passed are the 2 million mark for New Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3 million for Pokémon Black 2/White 2.
Here is the full software chart for the week of February 11th to 17th.
