Japanese Charts: Dragon Quest Destroys Competition

This has been another big week for Nintendo platforms in the Japanese Charts, with the epically-named Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen And The Tower Of Mirrors from Square Enix having sold a whopping 263,000 copies.

Every title in the Top 10 is a release for a Nintendo platform, with the lion's share (seven out of ten) going to the DS. In fact, only four titles in the Top 40 are not for Nintendo platform, with the PS2 notching up three entries and the 360 nabbing one.

It would seem that the PS3 finally hitting 1 million consoles sold in Japan isn't translating into software sales success, with the platform not represented in the Top 30.
