Media Create Japanese Software Sales for week ending 07 March 2010: New Pokemon Ranger tops with 161K

Pokemon Ranger: Tracks of Light for the DS has debuted at the top of the Media Create Japanese software chart, selling 161,000 copies for the week ending the 7th of March.

.hack//Link for the PSP is also new at number 2 with 60 000 copies while Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies for the DS enters the chart at number 3 with 41,000 copies.

Sales of the new DSi LL dropped off this week in Japan, but the console still sold enough to keep it at the top of the hardware sales chart for a second week. In total, 67,243 units were sold, down from 100,553 during its launch week.

Wii sales rose to 46,673, which was just enough to knock the PlayStation 3, with 46,558 sales, into third position.

Performances of PSPgo and Xbox 360 remained poor, standing at 3809 and 3685 sales respectively.
