Can someone post the software totals?  GT5 less that 20k!?

GT5 is a bit... well... poor

I'm astonished by these hardware numbers.  Aside from the PSP which is still massively up on MH3, the rest has gone to hell in a hand cart.

I don't see how it's so astonishing. Last year had the mega hits FFXIII and NSMB. This year, there are the lesser hits GT5 and DKCR.

no one thought GT5 would outsell final fantasy, nobody.

I am not really disapointed at GT5, I am really curious how PS3 gamers buy games in Japan. It's the holiday seasons, and tons of people go shopping, and no PS3 games goes up in sales. Unless a new game comes out for , it's basicly,  release and then goodbye.

Some thought it would have a bigger impact if not the same... not everybody of course. Same who thought DK was sure to sell like its predecessors.

Could you find a post predicting >2m for DKCR in Japan?

I really don't recall anybody saying it would be higher, much less 3m.

Nino Kuni It should have done better. Japanese should buy this game. ARGH!!!  355, 123 more copies left.

The Kong is doing great!!!



LMAO @ FF13 360 didn't even chart at all!

pretty good Wii and ps3 sales since last year both had massive bumps due to big releases.



Those MHP3 sales are really monster sales. Best third week ever in Japan.

Media Create biggest 3rd week

{14/12/09 - 20/12/09} 02. [WII] New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Nintendo) {03/12/09} - 567.890 / 1.933.827

Both DS, PSP and somewhat Wii also showing great hw numbers. PS3 not so much.



I feel strange about the comments saying that Japan can't support next-gen home console because of Hi-cost. Because seems the developping cost doesn't scare so much the Japanese developper as they release more games on the PS3 than on Wii! If costs were really a so important factor, we should see more Wii love that it has actually by 3rd parties.

Also one big Japanese publisher will give strong support to the wii HD... Nintendo :p



But we must first concentrate ourselves on the way to entertain people, for video games to live. Else, it's a world where sales representative will win, which has as effect to kill creativity. I want to say to the creators all around the world:"Courage, Dare!". Shigeru Miyamoto.

DKCR is totally going to outsell GT5 in Japan. lol.
