Only In Japan: Simple 2000: The Japanese Software Chart

konami_baseball_14.jpgThe PlayStation 2 showed the Wii who's the boss of Japan this week, at least in terms of Konami' s Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball sales. The PS2 version trounced the Wii's by a factor of three, proving that baseball and PlayStation still matter to the Japanese. Nintendo had the last laugh, of course, with 27 of the top 30 games all appearing on Nintendo DS and Wii hardware.

Here are the top ten Media Create software sellers for the week of July 16th to the 22nd, with the rest of the chart post-jump.
