While the 3DS was able to take home the 1st and 2nd spots in the Japanese sales charts with Dragon Quest Monster 2 and Puyopuyo Tetris, both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita are well-represented throughout the top 20, including the debut of Terraria on Vita, which moved over 15,000 copies.
Unlike last week’s stagnation, the hardware charts saw quite a bit of movement, with the 3DS jumping up over 10,000 units, and both the PS Vita and PS3 falling by about 4,000 each.
