Post subject:  Halo Reach nosedives in Japan chart
Halo Reach disappointed during its first week on sale in Japan - managing to shift just 44,413 copies - but in week 2 it's nosedived out of the region's top 20 entirely.

In fact, the Xbox 360 platform itself doesn't have a single title in the upper echelons of Japan's software chart this week.


It should be pointed out that Microsoft's likely to have expected exactly this sort of outcome with the shooter in the region - we doubt any tears have been shed - but it's not fantastic news for the platform holder, is it?

Elsewhere Pokémon Black & White continues its dominance with 3.3million copies sold (in two weeks!) while Yakuza PSP debuts at number two and Super Mario Galaxy 2 continues its slow burn.

Here's the chart:

01. [NDS] Pokemon Black / White (Pokemon Co.) - 828.580 / 3.386.358 (-68%)
02. [PSP] Black Leopard: A New Tale of Yakuza (Sega) - 174.213 / NEW
03. [WII] Wii Party (Nintendo) - 43.077 / 1.040.102 (+18%)
04. [PSP] Durarara!! 3-way Standoff (ASCII Media Works) - 21.566 / NEW
05. [PSP] Monster Hunter Diary: Pokapoka Ailu Village (Capcom) - 18.652 / 447.329 (-35%)
06. [NDS] One Piece: Gigant Battle (Bandai Namco) - 14.339 / 174.316 (-49%)
07. [PS3] Front Mission: Evolved (Square Enix) - 10.421 / 61.504 (-80%)
08. [PSP] Shin Koihime Musou: Otome Ryouran Sangokushi Engi - Wu-Hen (Yeti) - 10.240 / NEW
09. [PSP] Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5 (Konami) - 9.805 / 55.684 (-79%)
10. [PS3] Winning Post 7 2010 (Koei Tecmo) - 9.714 / NEW
11. [NDS] Taiko Drum Master DS: Dororon! Battle With the Ghouls!! (Bandai Namco) - 9.653 / 225.166 (+11%)
12. [WII] Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Nintendo) - 9.414 / 834.955 (+15%)
13. [WII] Wii Fit Plus (Nintendo) - 7.720 / 2.074.733 (+11%)
14. [PSP] Monster Hunter Freedom Unite [PSP the Best Reprint] (Capcom) - 7.585 / 430.362 (+7%)
15. [NDS] Inazuma Eleven 3: World Challenge!! Spark / Bomber (Level 5) - 7.526 / 843.883 (-6%)
16. [PSP] Winning Post 7 2010 (Koei Tecmo) - 6.355 / NEW
17. [NDS] Art Academy (Nintendo) - 6.314 / 180.030 (-3%)
18. [WII] Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo) - 6.191 / 2.937.740 (+16%)
19. [NDS] Friend Collection (Nintendo) - 5.999 / 3.424.869 (-8%)
20. [WII] New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Nintendo) - 5.891 / 3.996.368
