Resident Evil 6 secures first place on Japanese chart

October 11th, 2012, 00:07 Posted By: wraggster

Capcom's Resident Evil 6 on PS3 has topped the Japanese chart with an incredible opening week, selling over 600,000 units. In addition to taking first place with PS3, the survival horror also took fifth place on the chart with its Xbox 360 SKU.
Combined sales of 672,411 mean that the game has sold more in its first week than Resident Evil 5 has in lifetime sales to date, making it the second best selling opening week ever in Japan, second only to Final Fantasy XIII.
All of the rest of the Japanese top five are new titles, with PES 2013 on PS3 in second, the PSP's Summon Night 3 in third, and Soul Trigger in fourth, also on PSP.
Despite having no games in the top twenty, Sony's Vita managed to finally pass the million unit sales total this week, putting it on a slower sales trend than the Dreamcast. The 3DS retained top position on the hardware chart again, despite a dip in sales from last week.
