The 3DS was the best-selling system in Japan last month, with 304,000 units sold, but its continuing lack of quality to software was reflected in software sales of 122,000 - just 40 per cent of the hardware figure.
Sony's PSP topped the software charts with combined sales of almost 1.3 million, due in no small part to last week's number one,Final Fantasy Type-0 (http://www.next-gen.biz/news/final-fantasy-type-0-storms-japanese-chart). Square Enix's PSP exclusive sold 503,000 copies during the month, according to Enterbrain data passed along by Andriasang.
3DS has now been the best-selling hardware for five consecutive months, but its games are a rare sight in the Japanese all-formats top ten (http://www.next-gen.biz/filter/all/tags/1009/307). Nintendo is hoping for a strong end to the year after itshighly disappointing financial results (http://www.next-gen.biz/news/nintendo-braced-first-annual-loss-30-years), its hopes pinned on the release in Japan of Super Mario 3D Land last week.
