While Atlus’s Shin Megami Tensei IV had a strong start, it ultimately fell this week to Nintendo’s Tomodachi Collection: New Life, which has reclaimed the top spot in Japan with 59,104 units sold to cross 1 million units sold in its lifetime according to the latest Media Create Sales charts via Gematsu.

This doesn’t mean that the Shin Megami Tensei IV and Resident Evil: Revelations didn’t have strong showings though. In fact, the latter is in the second position this week with the PS3 version selling 32,193 units for a total of 134,866 lifetime sales. Atlus’s RPG on the other hand sold 30,424 units and is in second place with 218,987 units sold in its lifetime.

Kamen Rider: Battride War and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon brought up the fourth and fifth places respectively, with the former selling 20,076 units and the latter averaging 19,649 units (bringing its lifetime sales at just above 750,000 units).

Despite the Nintendo 3DS XL seeing a bit of a slump since last week, it still remains on top in Japan.

Another week in Japan, another sad release window for PlayStation Vita games. Despite the presence of big hitters like Soul Sacrifice and Muramasa Rebirth, the Nintendo 3DS still managed to eke out the Vita with its software sales according to the latest Media Create charts.

While overall hardware sales saw a drop from the previous week, Nintendo’s Tomodachi Collection: New Life still managed to reign on top, selling 103,479 units for a total of 862,054 units in lifetime sales. Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon came in second, selling 31,345 units (for a lifetime sales total of 691,921 units).

Animal Crossing: New Leaf is still going great guns with 25,460 units sold this week for roughly 3.2 million lifetime unit sales thus far. Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, the only non-3DS title in the top 5, managed to sell 13,314 units for a total of 169,996 lifetime units, and Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission sold 7,359 units (with 184,516 lifetime sales).

This week saw the Vita drop to the fourth position in sales, and was synonymous for the lack of any big releases.

According to the latest data from Media Create, Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen debuted this week ending on April 28th in Japan and managed to net the number 2 position in the top 20 charts with 125,363 copies sold. It would be Tomodachi Collection: New Life for the Nintendo 3DS that would garner the top spot though, selling 144,903 units for a total lifetime sales of more than half a million units in just two weeks.

Meanwhile, it has been revealed that the total lifetime sales of the Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL respectively were 8,240,523 and 3,032,694 respectively. The PlayStation Vita reportedly has a total lifetime unit sales total of 1,536,734 units.

Yes, that’s how big the gulf is. And no, a price cut is not going to reduce it.

Meanwhile, Crystal Dynamics’ Tomb Raider premiered in Japan for the PlayStation 3 and managed to sell 35,250 units in its first week. The other big release was Steins;Gate: Linear Bounded Phenogram for the PS3 that sold 34,292 copies.

The hits just keep coming for Nintendo. The developer released Tomodachi Collection: New Life in Japan, and in its first week of sales, it managed to 404,858 units according to Media Create Sales compiled by Gematsu.

Releasing for the 3DS handheld on April 18th, it even managed to beat out Namco Bandai’s Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3. The latter debuted on the same day for the Sony PlayStation 3 but even with the rabid fan base of the Naruto franchise behind it, it only managed to sell 87,661 units in its first week in Japan.

Another new release was Sega’s Seven Dragon 2020 II for the PlayStation Portable, which premiered at the third spot and sold 73,697 copies.

Meanwhile, other releases like Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon and Animal Crossing sold 41,296 units and 34,482 units respectively, with lifetime sales records of 557,271 units and 3,096,559 sales respectively.

And no, there wasn’t a single PlayStation Vita release in the top 10 this week, whether new or old.
