Japanese software sales chart, Jan. 8-14: The Sega trio
Posted by Chris. Filed under Chris, News. Tagged with Sales Chart, Yakuza 2.
Everyone loves charts, right? Well, at least I do. So, from now on, we’ll be posting sales charts from every gaming region when a Sega game makes the list.
Here’s a quick rundown of Sega games in this week’s Japanese chart:
- 14. Yakuza - The Best (PS2)
- 21. Yakuza 2 (PS2)
- 24. Oshare Majô Love & Berry (DS)
The interesting thing to note is that, aside from Nintendo, Sega had the most games in the top 30, beating out other heavyweights like Capcom, Konami and Square-Enix. Nintendo, on the other hand, obliterated pretty much everyone by holding down 18 of 30 spots. I think Nintendo is someone giving the Japanese video game crack judging by those ridiculous numbers.
And people said Sega has lost it? Well, judging from this sales chart, Sega has certainly lost nothing.
If you want to see the whole list, check it out after the jump.

It’s good to see that Ryu ga Gotoku is going strong in Japan, I can only hope that the sequel comes to US shores.
Any idea how many copies Love & Berry has sold so far? It had about 1 million preorders (!) before it was released, so I’m thinking it might actually be Sega’s best selling software in ‘06.

Thanks! And I don’t know how much it sold; the sales chart only had numbers for the top 10. Here’s hoping it breaks in the top 10 next week!
