Well, of course publishers try to avoid releasing their games in January. But if you look at the "day(s) left", we'll have a vibrant chart for the end of winter. Until spring and Golden Week arrive...

         Kirby is  doing just fine right now.. Can't see it doing less than 100k first week in Japan.

I hope not! Kirby is awesome but its releasing after the holidays. Maybe they did this to keep momentum up since the week it releases is when sales go down by alot!

OT: Boring COMG is boring right now


Speak for yourself mate! Kirby about to go in hyper mode


So he's still right, things are boring right now :P

Always is this time of year though.  At least Kirby has a slightly unusual release date.

Where's J-Stars Victory VS? It should be up by now... -_-


19th March release date iirc.  The only game that's currently on the chart which is releasing later is Sword Art Online (April 24th).

It's also split across 4 SKU's (Vita; Vita LE; PS3; PS3 LE) so it might take a while to show up.  I'd give it a little longer before writing it off, but it's not looking great so far.

The absence of Dragon Ball Z Vita is the more "wth" thing to me, it's less than a month away.  And the PS3 version is doing crap too.


I know this is a little late, but I have to ask what are you expecting from Battle of Z?

DBZ games are not very strong sellers at all in Japan - Both Raging Blast games and more recently Ultimate Tenkaichi FWed at about 40-50k and I don't think UT broke 100k LTD (admittedly it is supposed to be crap, so that may not come as a surprise). Consider then that this a multiplat and I think you have your answer - BoZ on PSV is never going to sell gangbusters

That said, I don't entirely disagree with you that even on PS3, I though it might do better. DBZ seems to be making a very slight comeback in Japan with first the Battle of Gods movie and I believe that Weekly Shonen Jump is re-running the manga in colour at the moment. We may have seen the beginnings of this with DB Heroes which I think sold over 200k LTD on 3DS. However, this doesn't seem to be materialising for BoZ

Of course, it may simply be that it is doing alright and that the COMG pre-orders are just artificially surpressed with it being the holiday season right now. It isn't that important in the long run anyway, it's in the west that most DBZ titles make their money. Hopefully when we get the first next-gen DBZ game people will come and see if there have been any significant improvements and the renewed interest will increase sales
