Im sure DQ is going to do great.LAST WEEK!!!

BF4 higher than DW8????? what madness is this?

Western games really are getting more popular in Japan. It's highly likely that we'll sell a million selling from the West soon. GTA5 will be close to it.

DW8 is the 3rd DW on PS3, this is the XL version which isnt the main series, its also already been released on PS3 and Vita. No surprise that BF4 is ahead

BTW Best fucking update ever =D

I hope Western games keep getting more popular in Japan so they can sustain PS4 in the region.

Last year's best-selling home console game was GTA V, the game in the top ten best-selling PS3 games and it might end up in the top five, so there are signs that this is possible.

Ugh, the new games... And releasing Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors around the same time? Do they always do that?

Dragon Quest, though! Pulling in some good numbers on a week day.

About time more PS4 games showed up.

Now, about that Wii U...

Yikes..  The lack of WiiU games is worrying..

What WiiU games do you all want/expect to show up?

Looking at Amazon, the only upcoming WiiU games they have available for pre-order are Donkey Kong; Puyo Puyo Tetris and Wii Fit U.

I agree that it's odd that DK is missing but the other two aren't things I'd expect to show up on a pre-order chart (or at least, not the WiiU version of Puyo Puyo). And there's literally nothing else to show because nothing else has a solid release date.

The COMG update shouldn't have been what surprised you all about WiiU games. The Japanese release schedule is what should've surprise you :P

Anyway, friends, I come bearing a few gifts from GAF:
