Okay the last two haven't happened,Â yet,Â but Halo 3 has topped the sales chart in Japan.

Take a moment and breathe.

01./--. [360] Halo 3 - 59,000
02./03. [DS] Pokemon Fushigi no Dungeon: Toki - 55,000
03./01. [PSP] Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII - 54,000
04./--. [DS] Tamagotchi Petit Petit Omisecchi Minasankyu! - 54,000
05./04. [DS] Pokemon Fushigi no Dungeon: Yami - 46,000
06./--. [PS2] Bleach Blade Battlers 2nd - 31,000
07./--. [DS] English Test 2 - 28,000
08./--. [PSP] Yugioh Duel Monsters GX - 28,000
09./--. [PS3] Oblivion - 27,000
10./02. [PSP] Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops+ - 25,000

While the 59,000 units sold barely edged out Pokemon and Crisis Core, both of which have been available for quite some time, it's interesting to see a first-person shooter succeed in a typically anti-Western game design region.

So this means Microsoft will win in Japan right?Â Guys?Â Â Hello?Â

Actually, those are new Pokemon titles, they just came out two weeks ago, I think?

But geez. X_X I find this reeeeally hard to believe.

To be fair, it's possible all the journalists leaving TGS purchased 3 copies each as they boarded their flights back home.
