Those sales are utterly horrible. They need to get over this swine flu panic asap.

Also, why on earth are there no PS3 games in the top 30?

also u can see how well games for mobile consoles sell so well in japan probably because they don’t have as much time as us to play videogames.

Slow week. Here’s hoping the number one gets localised. It’s said to be Level 5′s new Layton (even though the old one is still going).
