Well guys, E3's big announcements have been and gone. And just like Microsoft's press conference, you'll find no 360 games here. (Hold for canned laughter) On a more serious note, here comes the week in gaming spending in the land of Japan. Xenoblade manages to out-do Super Mario Galaxy 2, the first game to do so since it was launched a few weeks back, but it seems more amazing that Take 2's GTA series almost did that as well, with Episodes from Liberty City, the DLC expansions all on one disc; coming in at a nice 3rd place. That even bested Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2 which comes in at fourth. Other notable additions to the list this week is huge sandbox title; Just Cause 2. As always, you can find the full list, sans actual sales numbers (unfortunately), below;
