http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/02/340x_biohazard_5_ae.jpgThe re-release of Resident Evil 5—aka Biohazard on that side of the Pacific—looks like it has already paid for itself, the zombie hunting adventures of Chris and Jill delivering another 143,000 scares to Japanese gamers.
This week also saw another PlayStation 3 exclusive or two arrive in Japan, Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain, selling well enough to score a top ten showing, but unable to push past the long term appeal of Nintendo's Tomodachi Collection. Man, that thing can sell.
Some of the week's other new debuts, like Dante's Inferno for the PS3 and Hyakumanton no Bara Bara for the PSP couldn't muster enough interest in the Japanese consumer to put them in the top ten. But represented they are, alongside Media Create's other top thirty bestselling games in Japan.
