The Japanese software charts are still being dominated by Nintendo titles, as Super Paper Mario enters the charts at number one, selling 144,192 copies according to data from Media Create.

There are twenty Nintendo titles in the top thirty, as the Japanese publisher continues to enjoy success with its DS and Wii consoles.

However, there are two new entries in this week's top ten on the PlayStation 2 – Fate/Stay Night which sold 134,887 units and Persona 3 Fes, which managed just over 90,000 sales.

Other new entries include manga tie-in Nodame Cantabile for the DS which sold 50,785 copies and Square Enix's Final Fantasy for the PSP, shifting 48,559 copies in its first week.

There are no PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 titles in the Japanese top thirty this week.

The top ten best-selling games in Japan follow:

1. Super Paper Mario (Wii)

2. Fate/Stay Night (PS2)

3. Persona 3 Fes (PS2)

4. Nodame Cantabile (DS)

Well one thing which really stinks is nintendos release schedule, over here in Europe there still is no release date, which is a good indicator that Paper Mario will be avaiable for christmans, while we run into a major release draught here without any interesting title released until autumn! (Most of the stuff in the line is third party shovelware, three aa titles, two of them being launch titels in the USA)
