Pokemon Sales Super Effective Against Zombies In Japan [Sales Get]

After being kicked around by Bayonetta and a pair of soccer sims from Sega and Konami , Nintendo’s Pokemon double team of Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver return to the top of Japan’s video game charts. This week’s tally from sales tracker Media Create pushes the newest Pokemon games past the 3 million mark. Its Nintendo DS compatriot, Tomodachi Collection, continues to sell almost as well. It grabs the number two spot with another 49,000 copies sold. Don’t be surprised to see the Mii collecting game push 2 million by spring of next year. A trio of games scored top ten debuts this week, including Valve’s Left 4 Dead 2, which sold just a little poorer than Namco Bandai’s newest Wii drumming game Taiko no Tatsujin Wii Dodoon to 2 Yome! but better than Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games for the Nintendo DS.
