Quote:Here's the official software and hardware charts for the week of August 4th-10th in Japan. The GameCube has gone from 12 thousand console sales last week to about double that this week as Square-Enix's GameCube-exclusive RPG is released. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is a tremendous success -- appearing on the charts for only three days it has sold 194,000 units. The only title that beat it out is the always-popular Konami soccer game Winning Eleven 7 that was released earlier in the week. Four other GBA titles and Kirby's Air Ride fill up the top ten.
