In a surprise to absolutely no one Pokemon Black & White 2 remained in first place for its third week in a row selling 181,756 copies. This brings its three week total to an astounding 2,217,227.

Coming in at a distant second was Etrian Odyssey IV with a respectable 97,142, marking a fine launch for the latest in the cult series.

Meanwhile, Platinum Game's highly anticipated Anarchy Reigns failed to sell well in its debut week. The PS3 version came in eighth place with 21,199, while its 360 counterpart was way down at number 28 with 4,170 sales. This certainly doesn't bode well for Sega's recently delayed multiplayer brawler.
