Weekly Japanese Sales Charts
Could the tides be turning for Sony’s ailing handheld?
Atlus released Persona 4 for the Vita this week, which has not only claimed the top spot, but given the hardware sales a much needed boost. Lollipop Chainsaw launches with a decent showing, but most impressively Dragon Quest Monster’s, a remastered GBA game from 1998 is hanging on strong in second!

What???? Is this a typo or is that really what its called?
Quite a disparity between sales for lollypops. PS3 sold about 3 and a half to 1 verses the 360.

It’s Japan, so why not? Probably is the correct title.
