[PS3] 1. Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2011 (Konami): 117,759 NEW!
[PSP] 2. Taiko Drum Master Portable DX (Deluxe) (Namco Bandai): 80,215 NEW!
[WII] 3. Inazuma Eleven Strikers (Level 5): 74,227 NEW!
[PSP] 4. Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2011 (Konami): 73,247 NEW!
[NDS] 5. Puyo Puyo!! (Sega): 34,903 NEW!
