It’s nice to see that the Nintendo DS-loving country of Japan has picked a PS2 title this week as their top seller.
The sequel to the weird Sega Dreamcast fish-talking evolution gameSeamanhas sold 33,000 copies in its debut week, edging out Nintendo’s not-a-game reading titleDS Bungaku Zenshuuby 1,000 units. InSeaman 2, you’re raising/conversing with a prehistoric man rather than a fish-man, and things are roughly twice as insane as last time.Sega’s Web site for the gamehas to be seen to be believed. Hit “quick tour” to see craziness.
Going downthe chart, the Tecmo mystery graphic adventure (and mouthful)DS Nishimura Kyotaro Suspense Shin Tantei Series: Kyoto Atami Zekkai no Kotou – Satsui no Wanais down to number four, after selling an incredible 61,000 last week during its debut. Impressive, but that doesn’t compare to the PS2 titleDragon Ball Z: Sparking! Meteor, which has been rocking the sales charts lately, and is now up to almost 300,000 copies sold.
Other chart notables includeBeautiful Katamari’sdebut at number seven,Crisis Core(PSP) still going strong at number 18, andLairstill charting (?) at 21.
Hit the jump for the full list.
