Doesn't matter much, software sales are where most of the profits come from. The 3DS has already built up a sizeable install base in Japan.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised to see a hardware bump that week. But who knows, Japanese hardware trends are really weird.

it'll held maintain HW. Its kind of not fair since its release week is the downfall of all HW aka the slowest weeks of the year

That so? I wan't paying attention to what week it comes out.

At this rate, Kirby may have a few days in the #1 spot!

What did unleash this Kirby momentum ?!!

Yeah i know, i've always been a addict to the twi Kirby games on GBA.. Old days.. I know it'll sell well, maybe nexr year's first millestone ?

Is Kirby that strong of a franchise in Japan? I don' understand why the pre-orders became high all of the sudden

Yes, they've had multiple over one million sellers in Japan

Ummmm Have you seen the gameplay trailers? (not just a small vid or 2)!

Kirby games do pretty well on handheld andthe game looks amazing, my most anticipated HH game coming in the next 3 months (i hope it comes within that -_-)
