In terms of major releases, the week of November 1st – 7th saw the release of Radiant Historia on the DS and Fallout: New Vegas on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

 

Radiant History didn’t do all that great, but again, it’s a good thing to keep market conditions and development budgets in mind before considering any game a commercial failure.

 

New Vegas, on the other hand, did pretty well across both platforms it released on. Neither title even came close to removing God Eater Burst, Mario All-Stars and Pokémon from their positions though.

 

Here’s the top-20 for the week:
