Grand Theft Auto IV #1 With A Bullet In Japan

The Bellics hijacked the top spot on Media Create’s Japanese software sales chart for the week of October 27 to November 2, with Grand Theft Auto IV moving some 168,000 copies. The gross majority of those were of the PlayStation 3 variety, with the Xbox 360 SKU doing about a quarter of the business.

The debut of LittleBigPlanet in Japan was less spectacular, nabbing the third place spot. Perhaps consumers opted to pick up those new 80GB PS3 bundles, with either LBP or Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec III included.

With seven new releases snatching top ten spots, best sellers like Wii Fit and Wii Music get bumped from the top ten. Will the latter recover?
