I always like reading the Japanese Charts as it's a good indicator as to what kind of games we might see in Europe or the US. Or sometimes it's a good indicator of what we'll never see and makes me angry that Sony and Nintendo's Japanese wing always leave us Westerners out!

Anyway, it's not about what I think is it? Here's the charts this week :
