New Tales title takes Japanese number one

[wraggster]

Namco Bandai's latest game in the popular 'Tales' series has taken the top spot on the Japanese software chart, with the PSP exclusive tripling sales of its home platform for the week.
Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3 sold 222,068 units at Japanese retail for the week ending February 13, which landed Sony 106,893 sales of PSPs - a rise of over 75,000 from last week's 30,475. The figure eclipses its nearest hardware chart rival, the PS3 by four to one. Just 107 PSPgo units were sold in the country last week.
Elsewhere in the software chart, new releases dominated the top ten. Five top ten titles were in their debut week, occupying first, second, fifth, sixth and seventh. Capcom's Monster Hunter Freedom 3 rose back up the chart to third from sixth last week.
The 360 SKU of Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption expansion Undead Nightmare is the only title on the Microsoft platform in the top 20, scraping in on the lowest rung on its opening week. The PS3 version managed 13 places higher in seventh, selling an extra 14,000 copies.
