Nintendo Regains Japanese Top Spot

Representatives from Magazine publisher Enterbrain have released a list of the top selling publishers in Japan, in which Nintendo have regained the top spot for the first half year of 2003 from Konami. The two companies have consistently been the main rivals for supremacy in the Japanese market, with Konami edging ahead of Nintendo for the first time in the April to September period last year. Square Enix came third in this latest list, followed by Namco (rising from number eleven last year). Surprisingly American giant Electronic Arts actually dropped six places to number twenty.
