This game is for the hugely popular Nintendo DS/DS Lite handheld gaming console which itself is a best seller in the market.

Taking the second spot was Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.’s “Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories”. This game is for the Sony’s Playstation 2 gaming console. It sold around 400,000 units in June.

Nintendo has another game in the top three with “Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day” for the DS taking the third spot.
