Monster Hunter Portable 2G still kicking butt. I wonder is star ocean 4 will have legs or drop by next week.

 

[templeusox]

Demon's Soul hanging around in the top 10. Support this game, Sony.

 

[Septimus]

Wow, SO4 doing great imo. Pleasant surprise.

 

[Windu]

Damn, Japan sure does like Idolmaster.

 

[jj984jj]

SO4!!!!

Poor Flight Plan though, they would have been better off putting Sacred Blaze on PSP to establish a userbase there, or maybe even Wii with those sales. I hope both Shining Force Feather and SB have some legs, but their debuts are disappointing, especially SB.

 

[Vinnk]

SO4 sold out here. I think this might be the first time a 360 title has sold out in my town. Neither Ace Combat or Tales sold out here (like the did in the big cities).

 

[PantherLotus]

Damn, Japan sure does like Idolmaster.

Yeah, it really should be combined like Famitsu had it. Still, that would be over 100k copies.

 

[Tenacious-V]

Wow, SO4 did great! They should have printed more copies.

 

[speedpop]

Street Fighter IV fizzle!

 

[Shadowlink]

SO4 is doing pretty good

 

[Fuzzy]

Street Fighter IV fizzle!

Is that really a surprise though? If you're into fighters then you buy it the first week or else by the time you do get it everyone online will kick your ass.


I want to see how the SO4 bundle sold.

 

[Eteric Rice]

Not bad for SO4, lets see if it can hold!

 

[neojubei]

SO4 sold out here. I think this might be the first time a 360 title has sold out in my town. Neither Ace Combat or Tales sold out here (like the did in the big cities).

Didn't you say that about tales of versperia?

 

[Wilsongt]

06. [NDS] Shining Force Feather (SEGA) 30,000 / NEW Aw. That's a shame...

 

[t3nmilez]

Fukuoka had no shortages of Vesperia after the launch, whereas the places I went to after the SO4 launch had no copies to be found. I guess the restock didn't come fast enough. I hope that it can ride momentum into hitting 200k next week! Hopefully used games won't show up too fast...

I guess it's safe to say that Taiko Wii hit the 400k, Namco must be happy.

 

[Puck]

01. [360] Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope (Square Enix) 162,000 / NEW

It's alive!

 

[·feist·]

Very nice for Star Ocean. Demon's Souls look like it should be able to hit 100,000 copies without too much of a problem. It has certainly done far better than Ninja Blade.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Go go Mario & Luigi!

 

[AranhaHunter]

Monster Hunter Portable 2G still kicking butt. I wonder is star ocean 4 will have legs or drop by next week.

I'm guessing drop.

 

[Brofist]

Unlike Ninja Blade it also isn't a pile of garbage.

wow @ street fighter

04. [PSP] Idolmaster SP: Missing Moon (Namco Bandai) 39,000 / NEW

ok

 

[FateBreaker]

Unlike Ninja Blade it also isn't a pile of garbage.

Ninja Blade is that bad? Damn. I was looking forward to it.

Star Ocean is fantastic, so these sales are justifiable; this will definitely become the best-selling Xbox/Xbox360 game of all time in Japan.

 

[Drkirby]

Where is Kirby ;-;

[Flying_Phoenix]

Damn at the difference of Tenchu IV's sales in Media Create and Famitsu.

 

[ElFly]

Nintendo should really get serious about the Wii in Japan.

It's obvious that AC and Wii Music didn't do a lot for the system, and they haven't Published anything else since.

 

[donny2112]

This is the most non-Nintendo system games that have appeared in a Media-Create Top 30 since the end of July 2006. 15. Well, it was a nice run.

they haven't Published anything else since.

Nope. Not a dang thing.

 

[Lightning]

Hmm... SO4 did good by 360 standards, given the sales potential of the franchise though it is clear that majority of fans are not going to buy systems they don't want no matter what the game title is.

I still find 160k overall VERY disappointing given the franchise. It is the biggest franchise Tri-Ace have and I don't think 160k cuts it, imo.

 

[Trailblazer]

God the PSP is a Monster!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Nintendo should really get serious about the Wii in Japan.

Wii de Asobu: Pikmin and Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, I believe.

 

[60_gig_PS3]

looks like it's about time for Nintendo to release another game.

Let's see how it does next week, apparently it sold out of the first shipment.

Also SF4 360 completely dropping out of the Top 30 is surprising.

 

[donny2112]

looks like it's about time for Nintendo to release another game.

You mean besides the one they released this week?

Isn't this the biggest launch in j360 history?

 

[Dragona Akehi]

<Nintendo> Welp, looks like it's time to release the black version.

 

[Eteric Rice]

I think it's time Nintendo considers working on a revision of the hardware (like DS to DS Lite).

Dunno if more colors will work on a console. Maybe if they release it in black.

 

[_PsiFire_]

No number of title per console breakdown in the OP?

NDS: 9
PSP: 8
Wii: 6
PS2: 3
PS3: 2
360: 2

 

[juicyfruitas]

Also SF4 360 completely dropping out of the Top 30 is surprising.

not really, multiplatform titles on the 360 have almost zero legs from week 2 on in japan.

 

[Vinnk]

Didn't you say that about tales of versperia?

I don't think so. But I would have to check my old posts. I know there was a hardware shortage but I don't remember the game selling out.

I don't really remember commenting on it either way.

If I did, I stand corrected.

 

[Brofist]

Ninja Blade is that bad? Damn. I was looking forward to it.

Game just didn't do it for me. It's like they copied the trivial elements from NG and left out the awesome combat. And the QTEs...ughh

 

[kamikaze]

geez, look at all that playstation software in the top 10. wonder if the npd #s will ever look like that again?

 

[gantz85]

not really, multiplatform titles on the 360 have almost zero legs from week 2 on in japan.

Is it possible that a substantial number of these orders are overseas shipping orders and that the local demand isn't all that high. These may include sites like Play-asia and such, as well as shops all over Asia getting shipments in and putting them in their inventory stock.

Since SFIV is a fighting game, language isn't that big of an issue for importers.


This might help explain the digits better, and why PS3 games have longer legs.

 

[Grampa Simpson]

Damn Vinnk. Excited about madworld much?

 

[FateBreaker]

Isn't this the biggest launch in j360 history?

yes

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

So... what exactly is Idolmaster?

 

[Vinnk]

Damn Vinnk. Excited about madworld much?

How could you tell? Too bad I have to wait until April to play it. Curse you Japan!

 

[Grampa Simpson]

So... what exactly is Idolmaster?

Moe, probably. Same audience that watches things like Bottle Fairies and Lucky Star?

 

[VOOK]

So... what exactly is Idolmaster?
