The latest Media Create sales chart shows that once more Nintendo is sitting pretty at the top in Japan with its Friend Collection on DS taking the No.1 spot, edging ever closer to the million mark, whilst Dragon Quest IX has now passed 3.7 million sales and is tracking higher than even Dragon Quest VII on PSone now. Additionally, Capcom will be pleased to see that Monster Hunter 3's initial shipment of a million units is still being eaten away at, slowly-but-surely.
