Phoenix Wright, Dragon’s Crown Lead Japanese Sales Charts

They might not be two games that will garner too much attention worldwide, but both Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies and Dragon’s Crown hit it out of the park during their Japanese debuts. The 3DS title managed to push 250,216 units in a span of seven days, placing it well above any other piece of software on the list. Dragon’s Crown, on the other hand, had two platforms to help boost overall numbers. The PlayStation 3 version of the game lead the charge with 104,359 units sold, while the Vita trailed not too far behind at 71,083.

Other debuts worth noting include The Witch and the Hundred Knights, and NIS RPG that managed to hit the fourth spot on its first try. LEGO City Undercover on Wii U also had a strong week, making waves at the ninth spot. The rest of the list can be seen below, courtesy of Media Create.
