What I found funny was the assumption that a thread on vgchartz had any noticeable affect on a game's sales.

Decent game though.

scoop!

the "make patapon popular thread" is officially the number 1 reason why one of the most unique games of the last decade has gone on to sell 48,000+ copies and come in 9th in this weeks US sales chart. much to the chagrin of wii owners everywhere, it is possible for a niche game to see solid sales. so hurray for that.

in other news, apparently, despite being on the market for 3 months, vgchartz has rockband on the ps2 as being a new release in the US. maybe some sales chart updates are in order?

That was unnecessary, irrelevant to the game, and pure flamebait.

You are a troll and this thread fails.

Ordered the game should have it next week.

Put a spoiler alert next time: I don't have that drum yet. ;)

EDIT: This was a joke post.

Patapon is such a adorable game. I've just finished the game for the first round. I will go back to beat more monsters at higher levels and collect all the Divine Weapons.

Don't wanna spoil the ending for you. The ending implies that we may see the Patapon 2 pretty soon. Can't wait!

Also, do you think this game will have legs? Do PSP games have legs?

Well judging from NFS , GTA , FF : T , Tekken DR , SWB : 2 , Pursuit Force ( EU ) , Madden , Midnight Club 3 DE and tons of other games , I would say yes , PSP games often have formidable legs ;)

I was really asking and didn't know. Don't hate on me because of my ignorance, lol.

Ya, they generally do. Most PSP start under a 10k first week but end up over 100k or 200k.

Jeanne d'arc started at 6k. It's sold 120k.
