Media Create Sales data: ‘My Little Sister’ tops the Japanese software charts

Posted By | On 24th, May. 2012

We have the Japanese Media Create Sales for this week, and the entire industry is down right now. The 3DS topped the charts as usual with 45k system shifted, followed by the PS3 and PSP both over 10k.

The Vita has sold 6k units and is up slightly, but still it is a horrendous performance. On the software side, My Little Sister Can’t Possibly Be This Cute tops the software charts.

Mario Party 9 and Persona 2 didn’t sell all that well, and that’s a little disappointing. The Mario games are doing quite well and have been posting steady sales increases.

Check out the full hardware and software data and tell us what you think in the comments section below.
