Screen 10 2

Once again Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS has obliterated the competition and sold over 100,000 units in the past week in Japan. This coupled with the recent announcement of 2.8 million copes sold worldwide is a very sturdy figure to be leaning upon.

The PS3's new entry in the Kingdom Hearts series couldn't beat the beat-em-up, but did manage to just sneak ahead of Yokai Watch 2, which comes in at an impressive number 3 given its age.

Elsewhere in the charts the Playstation systems are over throwing Nintendo's dominance of previous weeks with a wealth of titles. The Wii U still holds three positions and the 3DS manages a total of six, so it could be a lot worse.

With the release of the New 3DS in Japan drawing ever nearer, the 3DS has taken a palpable hit on its sales, even with Super Smash Bros. making the impact it has. It seems the Japanese public are waiting to get their hands on the new hardware rather than settle for the years-old models available right now.

The Wii U has dropped in sales somewhat, but still maintains the third position overall.
