[Jonnyram]

Go go Gears of War... on PS2!

 

[AniHawk]

Gears of War looks like a PS2 game.

 

[Wario64]

Gears of War is so last gen

:lol @ GoW on PS2

not so different from the Famitsu chart, but Nintendomination still - 6 out of the top 10.

 

[Raw64life]

NDS - 18
Wii - 5
PS2 - 4

360 - 1

They probably deleted the 360 bar that they put next to the games on the chart because they figured they wouldn't need to use it ever again.

 

[HeadsUpSevenUp]

Gears of War something something

 

[Grecco]

Japan sure loves its EXITE

Oh. That's right.

Yay for Etrian Odyssey.

It's Japan man, they hate Sony over there.

Unbelievable

 

[Error]

if Atlus would've shipped more copies... then maybe just maybe! what a missed opportunity there.

they totally ****ed up there.

 

[Jonnyram]

Yeah. That's what happened.

I think he's talking about Microsoft Game Studios undershipping Gears of War, rather than Konami undershipping Metal Gear Solid... which is true.

 

[plagiarize]

given that the ps3 had passed the 360's sales, i really thought we'd see another ps3 game in the top 30 before we'd see another 360 game.

congratulations to cliffy b. i never thought we'd see gears go over with the japanese audience. maybe we can stop those silly 'japan won't play gaijin game' rumours now?

hardware sales should be interesting, and ps2 software has still got plenty of life left in it yet.

:O

 

[Stealth]

Damn, look at .hack go...

Looks like the Nintendo pac-man will be a little more wide-mouthed this week. But just a little.

 

[AniHawk]

I think he's talking about Microsoft Game Studios undershipping Gears of War, rather than Konami undershipping Metal Gear Solid... which is true.

Oh, okay.

 

[JohnsonUT]

Where is Dragon Quest?

 

[AniHawk]

Where is Dragon Quest?

It promptly exited the sales charts after learning that crossing 1,000,000 would make it a non-game.

 

[pilonv1]

Hardware sales will be interesting. Were there any new PS3 releases this week?

 

[Kandinsky]

Where is Dragon Quest?

yeah, wth?

 

[Hiro_Kunimi_80]

Where is F1 ?

Didn't F1 for the PS3 launch in Japan this week? It seem to me that hw sales are a lot more closely linked to sw in Japan than in NA, so I would expect a bump in sales as FI fans pick up a PS3 for the game.

;D

 

[Odysseus]

Hardware sales will be interesting. Were there any new PS3 releases this week?

obviously not

nothing of note, anyway

 

[Busaiku]

Where is Dragon Quest?

Oh snap.
Didn't notice that myself.

 

[Master_x]

What happened to Dragon Quest joker ?
undershipment problems ?

 

[Dragona Akehi]

It promptly exited the sales charts after learning that crossing 1,000,000 would make it a non-game.

And this is why we love you, Anihawk.

 

[pooteeweet]

MGS truly ****ed up undershipping.. shame

MGS can only ship a unit to retailer if said retailer purchases the unit. The retailers underestimated demand, but really, who can blame them.

 

[plagiarize]

while i remember, i hope japan buys the crap out of excitetruck so we get a sequel

SELL EXCITETRUCK SELL

 

[clearacell]

Amazing sales for Gears of War if it actually put a small dent in the usually DS/Wii heavy Japanese charts. I'm assuming the camera perspective had much to do with its success. Dragon Quest Monster Joker seems to have lost it's legs but Zelda is still chugging along.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Dragon Quest must be sold out.

 

[Illuminati]

Japan sure loves its EXITE

EXITE TRUCK!

while i remember, i hope japan buys the crap out of excitetruck so we get a sequel

SELL EXCITETRUCK SELL

It's about damn time they finally came around. I know how much the Japanese like their big damn trucks.

 

[duderon]

Where is Dragon Quest?

Seriously where is it?

Major DS shortage methinks.

 

[pilonv1]

F1 was out 28/12.

Here's another crazy one like PS3 not selling out and stuff - if I'd have said even ONE month ago that Gears would outsell Excitetruck in Japan in it's first week I'd have been shot for being insane.

 

[Bebpo]

Oh, hey look...Gears is in the top10!

Where's Moku now?

 

[Parl]

MGS truly ****ed up undershipping.. shame

Looks to me like they did a great job of undershipping.

 

[Tenacious-V]

Nice, I wonder what GoW would have sold if they had more stock at launch.

 

[Bebpo]

Nice, I wonder what GoW would have sold if they had more stock at launch.

I dunno, what did DQVIII sell on its first day?

 

[cvxfreak]

I don't think shortening publisher names is the best idea.

Where the hell did DQM go?

 

[Cheesemeister]

 

[sharkie]

itprintsmoney_cliffybversion.gif

seriously

 

[KINGMOKU]

Oh, hey look...Gears is in the top10!

Where's Moku now?

awe damn it...

 

[GhaleonEB]

I'm curious to see if Gears will hang around the top 30. If there really is excess demand/not enough shipped, it won't dance right out of the top 30 the way Blue Dragon did after its first week.

Gears should give a little bump to 360 hardware sales as well, probably to 12-15k.

 

[Avalon]

Gears of War on the top 10 and Dragon Quest nowhere to be found? Weird.

Good for Etrian Odyssey.

 

[Adam Blade]

Awesome Gears numbers.
