Well, lets be fair here. Demon Soul is a pretty big budget game, aimed squarely at the Japanese market. Sales look pretty promising - although its bound to be top-heavy.

That is so not true.  Japanese retailers completely screwed up for this one.  They underestimated the demand of this game and ordered too few copies for sale.

Honestly, with so little information about this game before launch, and the art style of this game is so westernized, who would have thought that this game could be decent and Japanese core gamers totally buying into it.

Well, it seems a very Japanese market game to me. Nothing to do with sales though - its no surprise retailers haven't order a huge number of units.

So how many games that are NOT established IPs have actually done well in Japan over the last 6-12 months? Any?

Well we've had White Knight Chronicles, Wagamama: Girls Mode, and even Wii Music sold moderately well.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
