Remember the first Week for DQ for Vg chartz will be just one day 11th july. So expect another million for second week also.

VGChartz tracking week for Japan ends on Sunday, so if the game launched Saturday then VGC first week will include Sunday too (which means sales will be 3 million unless a second shipment goes out for Sunday)

Actually I've read some impressions for other sites like GAF and the idea is totally opposite.

Don't trust Amazon for Reviews, most of them are just bitter fanboys that wanted "their" game on High Def with boobs physics, online and all Teh Hardcore elements, expcet the same threatment for Monster Hunter Tri in a few days.

Do you think NEOGAF has more fanboys or Amazon Japan.

My experience with Japan Amazon's user review has been pretty great so far. Japanese gamers who post reviews there are in general pretty critical but fair. Also, most of the "fanboy" reviews got voted down pretty quickly. (If you go to 2ch.net, then I won't say the same thing).

Let me give you an example, Demon's Souls on PS3 has rating of 4.5 stars at Amazon Japan. Ask people at VGChartz who has played this game how they feel about this game. On the other hand, White Knight Chronicle is rated at 3 stars, and yes, WKC has a lot of flaws.

Anyway, I've just translated and summarized what Japanese users think about this game. And those reviews have a lot of other users agree with.

It (PS3's market share) might hit 30%, but definently not more. ~ Neo

I'm kind scared with such high numbers, and i'm glad also to see Japan still can move software and it's not dead as many says. Japan will just collapse by this ending year, DQIX,MH3 and FFXIII all in six months.

The president of ENTERBRAIN (publisher of Famitsu magazine) expects DQIX to sell between 4 to 5 million copies in Japan.
