By Stephany Nunneley

Left 4 Dead 2 – maybe you have heard of it – cracked the top 10 on the Japanese software charts this week, debuting at number six on Xbox 360.

That’s an accomplishment right there, considering Japan is a tough market for the console.

However, it looks like you can’t keep a good Pikachu or Rapidash down, which Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver proved by clawing its way back to the top of the charts.

Here’s the toppers for the week ending November 22, courtesy of Gamasutra:

1. Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver (DS) – 55,000
2. Tomodachi Collection (DS) – 50,000
3. Wii Fit Plus (Wi) – 43,000
