Awesome for RDR!! Looks like western games are getting good sales iin japan! :D

To be fair, he did say that they couldnt track it well cuz it can be counted as either game/movie... i just thought i'd tone down the hate on the preview :P

Edit: OMG at PSP GO!!!! when was the last time this has happened! :O

People stop hating on the preview. Its one of my favorite features.

I said directly in the preview that Macross could have a very different final figure since the Blu Ray disc doubles as a game and a movie - meaning you could buy Macross at Blu Ray stores that don't sell videogames and watch it as a movie, it was the same issue as the Final Fantasy VII movie that came with the Final Fantasy XIII demo - it was sold in places that dont sell video games. For Red Dead, the figures from the one store simply don't gel with a 95k opening - thats why the data doesn't go up until more retailers come in. I'm just going with what we get from a tiny percentage of early figures.

As for Wii / PS3, this should be lowest week of the year for Wii. Kirby looks like it will do pretty well week one and should have very good legs. Mario Collection may end up having a bigger opening than Galaxy 2. The special edition Wii will help, and then DKC and Mario Sports Mix are coming at some point and Nov 25 respectively. God only knows when Gran Turismo 5 is coming - it sound likes late Nov at the earliest now. Sony probably doesn't want to launch GT5 against Monster Hunter Portable 3 or DKC which are both likely December - so I wouldn't be too surprised if they waited until January in Japan which is still the holidays there.

Its sad that Halo Reach is selling way worse in Japan then Halo 3 did.

BWAHAHA, PS3 sales absolutely destroying the Wii, man even TheSource was caught off-gaurd with Red Dead. Who knows, soon enough Western publishers will treat the PS3 Japanese market like they do with individual countries in EU.

As for the Wii, not so much...

Who knows how its doing, weve seen a number of 360 games starting low, going off the charts but selling decently over time. Hopefully it can make 80k at least but yeah, for a 360 exclusive with the userbase at this size, its very underwhelming.

Red Dead Redemption (xbox360 & PS3) = 96k. Good sales for Japan.

Class of Heroes 3 did pretty bad... it sold about as well as COH2, but that's combined on 2 systems.  Seems like going multi just split the fanbase rather than expanding it. :/

Consider your anti-Playstation bias exposed!
