When was the last time a Western developed game was #1 in sales in Japan?

 

[GymWolf]

I can't believe tlou2 is beating pet sims and pokemon in japan...

it's not that rare if a big title is released.
did you know that Gears of War was #1 for 3 weeks when it released? weird right?

I guess the hype/traillers/the first TLOUS legacy helps a lot.

This is peak internet retardation at its best. Thx for sharing

Still, a game without cuteness, eye patches, tentacles and 200 years old lolitas in first position is kinda strange to see

How? Xbox 360 sold like 500 units in Japan.

Yeah but they were super hardcore xbox fans so they bought 100 copies each.

It had

titties tho... small titties but still

well, because it was a big title.
and no, the 360 didn't sell as bad as the Xbox One. and the 360 had a niche hardcore audience in Japan, games like Steins;Gate were actually timed exclusives on Xbox. it also had many exclusive shmups in Japan

 

[sublimit]

He is not Japanese though (he is Korean).

 

[PresetError]

Ok. This settles it. Now i'm convinced The Last of Us Part II is already a massive success. I still need to see how big is the drop in sales the second week but failure is already out of the window for this game.

 

[Azelover]

Respectable to disappointing sales for TLOU2. Though I'm guessing it probably won't have much of legs..

Moderate PS4 hardware increase. We're really close to the end now it seems, at least in terms of Japan.

 

[Mr Moose]

Did he cut the black disc too?

 

[Guileless]

Did the FF7 remake make much of a ripple over there?

It hit 900k+ physical and pretty sure it surpassed a million combined when with digital.
