| Soriku said: We've come across this a couple times, so I'm making this thread so we can discuss this same exact topic. We've seen SMG do 130k for the first day, but the week should prove good sales, and lifetime extroadinary (well, maybe not extroadinary but pretty good  ). But besides that, we've seen steep sales in console games in Japan. The only games that sell in Japan now are handheld games, FF, and DQ. But the only problem with FF nowadays is that it starts out real strong, but dies rather quickly (See: CC: FF VII, FF XII, etc.). Lifetime sales are good, but that's mostly due to opening sales. Japan Wii gamers seem starved for games. Seeing as how sales are in the 30ks, and dropped into the 20ks and 19k as well. Could it be possible that it's just the sales (so far) of the consoles. The Wii in Japan has almost sold 4 mil in Japan. That's not really a lot compared to, say, the DS's almost 20 mil in Japan alone. But if they are SO starved, why didn't more buy it? Is Japan becoming more and more irrevelant in the gaming industry? Or is there possibly another explanation? Discuss. |
Just because Japan didn't swarm over your precious Super Mario Galaxy does not mean it's irrelevant to the gaming industry. Get over it.
