The Oricon survey firm reports that the fourth volume of the Bakemonogatari anime series is the top-selling television anime Blu-ray Disc in Japan so far. It sold 48,000 copies to top the previous recordholder — volume 3 at 41,000 copies in November. For all anime Blu-ray Discs, it only trails the Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone film, which sold 49,000 copies in its first week. All told, the Bakemonogatari series has sold 198,000 Blu-ray Discs so far.

However, Michael Jackson's This Is It concert documentary debuted at #1 on the overall weekly Blu-ray Disc charts. With 261,000 copies sold, it is the highest selling Blu-ray Disc in Japan so far.

This could be the reason for a small bump in PS3 sales also, cuz PS3 had a special SKU also

It's weird, they even did a PS3 bundle for it... I'd have thought the bump would've been bigger between this and the RPG deluge?

i think it was pretty expensive for the bundle

From one Cr33py P3rv to another...we miss you MJ.

What were its DVD sales in Japan?

that's great, I bought the blu ray movie last week
