And you thought that our cousins in the Land of the Rising Sun only played RPGs and Pachinko simulators, didn’t you? Well you were wrong.

Famitsu has posted the sales figures for the first half of 2001 and Gran Turismo 3 has stormed into the lead selling a whopping 1,097,801 copies since going on sale in late March. A massive amount, and a just credit to the creators of this seminal work, we’re sure you will agree.

Other high-flyers in Japan include Dragon Quest Monsters 2 from Enix on the Game Boy Color, which sold a shade over a million, and Onimusha, which clocked up figures of over 800,000.

We are sad to report that there were no Pachinko games in the top ten.
