What is the deal with japan? Why can't we ever get more than a few reviews when dealing with japan released games?

A lot of it comes down to just how dominant Famitsu is, though. It's like here in the UK we only really have Empire for films, because it's so big any other publisher doesn't really have a chance...

 

Anyway, it launches on Friday, right? So user reviews should be flooding in soon!

I just do not understand why, lets say after a week or so we cannot get a dozen of so reviews for games that are big in Japan. I do not know about over there, but here in America we have things like gamepro, gamespot, ign, giantbomb, gamrreview, etc. I do not really care how trustworthy it is or if it is online or what. That is what surprises me. It would just be nice to see something other than Famitsu. Lets get some hype going for these games so that they will come to the states or Europe faster.

 

What do you think the sales will be Conegamer?

Based off what I see below it will not do too great over time on the 3DS, but if recent sales patterns continue it should push out around 200,000 copies first week in Japan. Games are just selling well now over there, IMO.

Looking at those sales, the first thing I can say is that the RD figure is wrong. No way it only sold 10k in Europe. 100k, is too low. 

However, FW in Japan could be anywhere from 150 to 200k, maybe a bit more. Should boost 3DS sales too 90-100k for the week as well.
