the early numbers are nice though, even if you can't take them as exact. They don't seem to include every game in the top 10 though, but for the games listed it is nice to get an early look.

Fair enough, but the thread title shouldn't be "Famitsu Sales" then (?) This data was on average 10% off (sometimes less, but for DQ IX it was even more than 20% off). Maybe "Famitsu Sales Preview"? All IMO of course.

Oh, yeah that's right, though I wanted this thread to be Famitsu's thread of the week, I will just replace the leak with the top 50 when it becomes available in english of course.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

i don't see why you can't use the same thread, as long as it is pointed out in the OP and is not misleading.

actually rather than calling it famitsu sales perhaps someone should just do Japan sales and update it with all sales information rather than splitting them up.

Eye of Judgement PSP marks another 1st party bomb for Sony. They're almost like bizarro Nintendo.

Keroro did awful (especially with the Tales tie-in), Nobunga 360 tanked, and Bioshock 2 did pretty bad as well. Not a great week for new releases.

On the bright side Nobunga PS3 did about as well as the later PS2 versions, and the DQ Ultimate Hits did rather well.



Is it just me or a multiplatform releases doing worser lately on the Xbox 360?

If the Otaku games like Idolm@ster, project diva or dream C Club make it to PS3 or Wii, it will become even a more irrelevant console there.
