Total top 10 sales: 783,150 (up 323,645 from last week)
Last week's sales: 459,505

Notes: There are two big stories this week. The first is Square Enix's 3D remake of Final Fantasy III, which took the top spot, selling over half a million copies. That's reportedly 90% of what was shipped, which bodes well for strong sales next week as well.

The second major story is the fact that not a single non-DS title made the top 10. I won't tell you a single platform has never taken all top 10 spots before, but I will tell that's never happened since I started keeping track of weekly sales early last year. It's quite an amazing feat.

For reference: Last week's sales

Also, when you've worked a 36-hour shift as an intern you too just might pour yourself a catful of coffee and sit down to cuddle with your travel mug. -eirehound
