Top-seller: Tales of Xillia – 525,605

Nintendo 3DS sales: 49,076 | Total sales: 1,776,605

 

 

Tales of Xillia debuted with some grand numbers last week, with 525,605 copies sold in its first week on store shelves. Just a day or two following its release, Namco began teasing Tales of Innocence R for PlayStation Vita. As expected, Tales of Xillia debuted at the the #1 spot on the software sales chart, and gave PlayStation 3 hardware a boost, too, thanks to the limited edition bundle.

 

At #2 was Resident Evil: Revival Selection for the PlayStation 3, at 93,768 copies sold. At #3 was Resistance 3, also for the PlayStation 3. Grand Knights History fell to the #5 spot after its debut the week prior, but the game has reportedly done well.
