 Despite 13 new games debuting in the top 30 this week, with six of those being in the top 10, no game managed to exceed the 100,000 mark, though Lost Planet 2 for the PlayStation 3 came pretty close.    


In the top spot with sales of 85,000 was Lost Planet 2 from Capcom, followed by Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 with 62,000 units sold (down 51%). Three different versions of KonamiÂ’s latest Winning Eleven title debuted in top the 10, all for SonyÂ’s consoles. The Wii counterpart started at position 15, with sales close to 10,000.    


Back in the top 10 though, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker occupied position 4, despite seeing a 46% dip to 34,000 copies. The Xbox 360 version of Lost Planet 2 sold 33,000 units, enough to find itself at 5. Fullmetal Alchemist: To the Promised Land started with 21,000, just ahead of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, which saw a 4% dip to 18,000 copies. Rounding out the top 10 was Tomodachi Collection, which fell from 4 to 10 (14,000, down 13%).    


Next week will be one of the biggest of 2010, with Super Mario Galaxy 2 expected to debut in the top spot with sales between 250,000 and 400,000.
