News: Revelations Claims Top Spot in Japan

Resident Evil: Revelations climbs to number one in its second week
Both Capcom and 3DS were buoyed as Resident Evil: Revelations climbed to the top of the Japanese chart in its second week.
Sales of the handheld blockbuster dropped by a fair bit from its debut week, but it still put in a respectable figure to claim the top spot. Its effort was no doubt helped by a distinctly underwhelming performance from Bandai Namco's Soul Calibur V.
There were several new releases for the week. Take a moment to enjoy the novelty of seeing a whole two PlayStation Vita games smash into the top 20 for the week of January 30th to February 5th.
