Square Enix’s Dragon Quest Monster 2 on 3DS is at No.1, shifting 118,427 units in its second week.

3DS was also the top-selling system with 39,716 units, more than double that of its nearest rival the PS Vita (18,348).

PS4 launches on February 22 so the chart should be shaken up a little in the coming weeks.
