Yeah that explains the ToV and SO4 differences. I mean come on, you really think that a significant number of those 200k Japanese people who bought ToV on 360 didn't double dip? Chances are if you bought a 360 for ToV or you already had a 360 to begin with and got ToV for it, you are a pretty hardcore Japanese gamer. You think these kind of gamers wouldn't double dip? Of course they would. Franchise fanboys are going to pay that $60 for v2.0 if the extras are worthwhile.

Some of the hardcore probably did, but you can't just asume that everyone with a Xbox 360 has also a PS3 or that everyone is going to pay 8000 yen for the extra content.

The should keep the franchise on one or two platforms anyway. Giving every console some Tales of games hasn't really worked out for them.

I found some PS3 best versions sales and i think MGS4 is still under tracked by 40k in Jap.
should be 810k by now, not a big difference in the end, just put it a bit more close to 5M mark.. :P

Minna No Golf is over tracked a lot i think
