Halo 3 is topping the sales charts in the land of the rising sun in the last week of September.

I always thought Japanese people play only Pokemon or Final Fantasy games but this seems to be a sign of hope. Is this the end of the world as we know it ?

Lets have a look:

1. Halo 3 (360) 59,000 copies
2. Pokemon's Mysterious Dungeon: Toki (DS) 55,000
3. Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core (PSP) 54,000
4. Tamagotchi (DS) 54,000
5. Pokemon's Mysterious Dungeon: Yami (DS) 46,000
6. Bleach Blade Battlers 2nd (PS2) 31,000
7. English Test 2 (DS) 28,000
8. Yu-gi-oh Duel Monsters GX (PSP) 28,000
9. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PS3) 27,000
10. Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops + (PSP) 25,000

No way, too much Pokemon, Final Fantasy, Tamagotchi. Every Xbox360 user in Japan is now owning a copy of Halo3.
