From Software's Dark Souls (http://www.next-gen.biz/filter/all/tags/388) is the new number one in the Japanese all-formats chart, selling almost 280,000 copies in its first week on sale.
The punishing RPG outsold its nearest competitor, PS3's Ico & Shadow Of The Colossus HD Collection, by more than three copies to one.
Epic Games' Gears Of War 3 enters the chart at number 4, with over 56,000 units sold, while 3DS breast-fest Senran Kaguradebuts in sixth. Last week's number one (http://www.next-gen.biz/news/dragon-quest-collection-leads-japanese-chart), Dragon Quest Collection, slips to fifth, and Shadows Of The Damned (http://www.next-gen.biz/reviews/shadows-damned-review), the Mikami/Suda collaboration released in the west in June, debuts in a lowly 18th place.
