LBP = New Western IP

since when do Western IP's (forget new ones) EVER sell in Japan.....

so I agree with you

 

Crash Bandicoot

 

To be fair, I think the week 0 + week 1 is a bit misleading... It's actually more than 1 week on the market but at the same time, it's not enough for 2.

 

@Snarf Barf: I answer once again with Crash Bandicoot. This game really was huge. It was the original Playstation killer app. It was a new IP developed by an unknown western developer and it sold extremely well (and in Japan as well).

It was 10 years ago, trends change, back than platformers were really popular.
