I want bundle numbers. Give me bundle numbers.

First day numbers are from Famitsu. They don't track software bundled with hardware. Although I'm starting to think the first day numbers might be erroneous considering Namco shipped out an additional 100k when the first day numbers suggest plenty of stock already available. Unless there's a LOT of unaccounted software included with bundles in that first day number.

Sometimes the first day numbers are off. I just don't see how retailers would have accepted another shipment if that's all that was sold. But if the first day number is correct, it did outsell the LTD of Vesperia and Graces on the 360 and Wii, respectively, on just the first day.

I remember the Tales Studio was about to go bankrupt. Hopefully this will kick them back in gear.

Besides the declining interest in the West for jRPGs, the strong yen is probably also effecting localization decisions.

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
