The PSP and DS do very well for themselves in this week's Japanese software chart (22nd - 28th February 2010), courtesy of Media Create, with Spike's Kenka Banchou 4 taking the top spot for Sony's handheld and four games for Nintendo's platform hitting the Top 10.

2 Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Mugen no Frontier EXCEED – Namco Bandai (DS) – 64,805
3 Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition – Capcom (PS3) – 47,815
4 New Super Mario Bros. Wii – Nintendo (Wii) – 45,369
5 God Eater – Namco Bandai (PSP) – 44,717
6 Minna no Tennis Portable – SCEJ (PSP) – 44,603

(Note: Chart position is first, then game name, publisher, format and sales for this week)
Heavy Rain has been muscled out of the charts after an impressive debut last week – it now sits at #32. Multi-million seller Wii Sports Resort has also slumped to #21 after spending God knows how many weeks in the Top 10.
Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition and God Eater still hang on after being bumped off by Kenka Banchou and Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Mugen no Frontier EXCEED. We wonder if the #2 position of the latter is anything to do with the fact that it features less robots and more perverse women with their tits hanging out?
Oh, Japan.
