Sales have pretty much improved across the board for video games the week between August 3 to August 9 in Japan according to Famitsu here, most likely driven by the long Obon holiday period in Japan.
It is thanks to Famitsu that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so please be sure to head over to their wonderful site here and show them lots of love!
