Tecmo Inc.'s action title Ninja Gaiden Sigma for Sony Corp.'s PS3 is a top-seller for the console in the latest sales data from Japan
Media Create Co. on Fri. reported that Ninja Gaiden Sigma sold 46,307 units between June 11 and June 17 to rank as the third best-selling title in the top 50 game sales.
The top performance of the title help to boost PS3 sales by eight percent in the week.
Additionally, Activision's Call of Duty held respectable sales to rank at No. 14 in the same period.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma is a makeover of the title originally developed for Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox. Sigma features revamped high-definition graphics and a new playable character for the PS3.
The title will be released in the U.S. this July.
The solid debut of two new PS3 software offerings is a strong indication that the console can rebound from lagging sales in the territory. The PS3 has been outsold by Nintendo Co.'s Wii 3-to-1 in Japan in year-to date sales according to Japan game publisher Enterbrain.
Sony this week said that it will release 380 titles in the business year to bolster PS3 Hardware movement. The company expects to ship 11 million units worldwide by Mar. 2008.
