Pokemon X Nobunaga's Ambition at the Top of Japanese Sales Charts This Week

This week in Japan, the Pokemon franchise once again, is at the top of the sales charts in their new title Pokemon X Nobunaga's Ambition. With almost 180,000 units in sales, let's wait to see how many is the initial shipment of the game. That's how we'll know how successful it is, and perhaps Nintendo and Koei do something for a western release.

In other noteworthy news, this is the debut week of If I Were Trapped in A Sealed Room, I Would Probably XXX, that Nintendo 3DS game we've covered time and time again here in our 3DS Blog. Just so you know one article about the bizarrely-named game got in this blog the highest amount of traffic ever. 

Meanwhile, Nintendo's Big 3 - Super Mario 3D Land, Monster Hunter 3G, and Mario Kart 7 are now further in the top 10, with Mario's platformer now out at number 11.
