wow, this is surprising, especially in Japan:

http://www.coremagazine.com/news/4348.php3
According to sales figures released
today and compiled from several retail
chains across Japan, Sega dethroned
Sony last week. Recently released
Dreamcast games Exodus Guilty, Segagaga and Crazy Taxi 2 all
ranked within the top ten. Meanwhile Gran Turismo 3 which has
remained within the top 5 since its release last month, slipped to
number 9. Below is a recap of the top ten titles for last week.

1. Exodus Guilty - Dreamcast
2. Segagaga - Dreamcast
3. Dracula Chronicles - Game Boy
4. Emblem Saga - PlayStation
5. Crazy Taxi 2 - Dreamcast
6. Student - PlayStation
7. Dracula's Castle - Game Boy Advance
8. Final Fight One - Game Boy Advance
9. Gran Turismo 3 - PlayStation 2
10. Endonesia - PlayStation 2

Bogus.

I saw this at Coremagazine too, and when I read it, I knew it was bogus. Why? Here's a quick recap:

1) There's no such thing as "Dracula Chronicles" on the Game Boy. There WAS a Dracula Chronicles released on the Playstation however, but it debuted a week ago at #10. And a ten year-old game shovelwared onto the PS isn't likely to suddenly shoot up to #3.
2) There's no such thing as "Emblem Saga". The game has long been renamed "Tear Ring Saga" in order to avoid a lawsuit from Nintendo.
3) "Dracula's Castle" for Game Boy Advanced has dropped off the Top 30 Best Selling game a while ago already. How in the world did it suddenly go back into the top 10?!?!?!

Here's a MUCH better resource for Top 30 best-selling games in Japan:
