DBZ: Burst Limit PS3 bursts into Japan charts; PSP king again

Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit - Image 1Last week in Japan, Super Saiyans burst into the scene. Media Create has published its findings for the week June 2 to June 8, 2008, with Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit leading the pack. Note that this is the PS3 version of the game - it's been a while since a PS3 title claimed top spot - while the Xbox 360 version of Burst Limit is actually in 12th place.

Speaking of the 360, Ninja Gaiden 2 finally debuted, giving the Xbox 360 that much more presence than usual in the Nintendo-filled charts. The Wii's got a debuting game too: Shiren the Wanderer 3 at spot number 2.

Other mainstays like Mario Kart Wii and Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G are still staying strong towards the top tiers.
