It's the middle of the week, which means it's time for the Media Create charts out of Japan. The previous week saw Super Mario Odyssey hit around half a million sales at launch, the figure varying depending on whether you prefer Media Create or Famitsu numbers. 

Starting with the software chart this week, Mario's adventure has been toppled from the number one spot by the PS4 version of Call of Duty: WWII, but nevertheless returned sales numbers in six figures in its second week. Style Savvy: Styling Star made its debut on 3DS in fourth place, which isn't bad but doesn't exactly set the charts alight. The results are below with lifetime sales in brackets.
