Some say that 2008 has had a good start, and some are still waiting to see the big name games come out. But either way, since it’s about halfway through the year let’s take a quick look at the top selling games so far in Japan.
The last issue of the mega popular Japanese video game magazine Famitsu released the list and it’s interesting to see a couple of games still hanging on to their spots.
