So, Japan charts only appear here when PS3 games get the top spot.

*Facepalm*
No the Japanese or American charts get printed on CVG when WiiSports/WiiFit/New Super Mario is NOT at number 1.
There is no point printing the overseas charts other weeks becuase its the same every bloody week.

Not a wise move to comment on things you don't really follow.

Glad to hear Resi 5 still doing well! Great game and capcom deserve to make money on it! Cool

It's also quite rare that a GOTY type edition of a year old game gets to number one.
