Bayonetta Brushes Back Pokemon, Tops Japan’s Game Charts [Sales Get]

PlatinumGames and Sega’s Bayonetta kicked her way to the top of the Japanese game charts, moving nearly 200,000 copies during week one, making it the country’s bestselling game. So long Pokemons! It was the PlayStation 3 version of Bayonetta, responsible for 135,000 of those copies sold in Japan, that secured the top spot on Media Create ’s list. It beat new DS release Hikari no 4 Senshi: Final Fantasy Gaiden by more than a hair, forcing Square Enix’s latest outing to settle for second. The Xbox 360 version of Bayonetta sold a little less than half of its PS3 counterpart, giving it a second top ten spot. PlatinumGames saw chart-topping success its previous DS release Infinite Space, which debuted at number one in June. The week was strong with new releases, including Tekken 6 for the PS3 and 360—again, the PS3 won that contest—Persona 3 Portable and the “Universal Tuning” re-release of Dissidia Final Fantasy.
