Well, that’s not quite the jump I was hoping for in this week’s Media Create charts, especially when one game I was planning on being a part of this list (Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D) DOESN’T EVEN MAKE THE LIST! Instead, we get an unexpected 100,000 seller in Kamen Rider: Battride War, the newest game in the Kamen Rider franchise. As a matter of fact, we get three 100,000 sellers in Shin Megami Tensei IV, Kamen Rider, and the PS3 version of Resident Evil: Revelations. Other notable new games to make the list are Terraria for PS3 (6th; 19,861 and Valhalla Knights 3 on PS Vita (5th; 40,357).

As for the rest of the list, last week’s Number 1, Summon Night 5, dropped like a rock to 13,624. Tomodachi/Friend Collection still has some legs left as it gets closer to the 1,000,000 mark. Animal Crossing continues on its free-fall as it reaches saturation. And it took 2,612 for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on 3DS to make the list.

As for hardware, we see a jump of about 20,000 from last week, stemming from jumps in sales for 3DS, PS3 and the Vita. Most of the other consoles either stand pat or drop slightly.
