Pokemon Black and White still reigns the Japanese Video Game Chart (courtesy Media Create, 27th September - 3rd October 2010) with an Iron Tail, racking up another 370,000+ sales on its third week on store shelves. It's been a very good week for new releases however, with SEGA's K-ON! anime game capturing the hearts of otaku everywhere.
