The Nintendo 3DS had a great second week in Japan, with another 200,000 gamers snapping up stereoscopic 3D hardware. But it was a PSP game that dominated the software charts (again), with Square Enix’s dramatic fighting game adventure Dissidia 012: Duodecim Final Fantasy dominating the sales charts.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); The latest Dissidia sold an impressive 286,117 copies in its first week of release, knocking former software champ Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity down to sixth place. Spike’s Way of the Samurai 4 also debuted, placing second and giving the PlayStation 3 some top ten representation.
