well my favorite games are JRPGs so I am def. a fan. I just didn't see the need to argue so much over some sales rank, but I understand what you're saying. It would make me sad to see all these JRPGs go to the Wii. I don't think they could ever be as epic as they would be on a PS3...or 360 I guess.


It absolutely pained you to say that, didn't it?

You had an involuntary twitch, I know it!

If anyone cares - Forza is #4, and TB is #6. DQS is #7.

 

Edit: Oblivion is in the top 25, despite the game coming out 7/26. I wonder: Will it sell anything at all? Could it reach 20k+ for the 360 there?

this has already been proved false.

TB is at no 9, forza at no 21 and Oblivion at no 22

http://www.amazon.jp/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/503-2471544-9489511?__mk_ja_JP=%83J%83%5E%83J%83i&url=search-alias%3Dvideogames&field-keywords=&Go.x=9&Go.y=17

do you trust that amazon source at all???

ARMORED CORE 4 is at no 37 there. In reality armored core 4 360 version has sold wayyy less than the ps3 version and is not even in  the top 100 list.

ARMORED CORE 4 ps3 has sold 80+ k units. ARMORED CORE 4 x360 is a massive flop with just 21k copies.

AMAZON JAPAN HAS the x360 version at #37 . so you can easily understand that the rankings are total crap.

143Armored Core 4From Software8 46621,716

as you see there AC4 360 version is at no 143 with just 21k  (<500 copies sold last week) copies.

NOTE :- the customers using AM japan are probably foreigners living in japan

BTW :if you are using this non-updated link

http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/bestsellers/videogames/ref=sv_vg_2/249-8703499-5048312 

then you could have ARMORED CORE 4 (x360 version ) at # 28.

so you could easily determine its authenticity since AC 4 for x360 would not be on the top 200 list this week.

Forza is #4, and TB is #6. DQS is #7. Well DQS is gonna be released in 1 month and a half so it has a lot of time to climb up higher...

Man, you're a pain.

The bestsellers page is the one which is updated hourly on every Amazon site. It's the one which matches the sales rank on products' pages. And that's the data used by multiple sites that track Amazon sales.

But you'll rather order a product search because it suits you best.

forza is at no 21.

TB at no 10

DQS would sell more than the combined softwares of x360 sold till date.

the above is non updated list where a mega flop game like AC4 is at no 25.

this is the updated list

the above is the hourly updated list.

NOTE :- still AJ doesnt reflect on J preferences since you have a game like AC 4 on the list(at 37) which infact doesnt even appear in the top 100 sales charts

But why argue with you...


that link has AC4 at no 26 which is total BS .

since AC4 x360 version has only sold 21k copies and is considered a megaflop.

143Armored Core 4From Software8 46621,716

the updated list is here but still it doesnt refeclect on J preferences since AC 4 is at no 37. (what a shame)

No. That link is "total BS" because you want it to be.

On the top of the bestsellers page it says "Amazon.co.jpで最も人気のある商品です。1時間ごとに更新されます。", which translates to "Most popular items on Amazon.co.jp. Updated hourly." This is the same on every Amazon site. Verify that, if you will.

But we should believe you instead. Right.

oh a game that sells 400copies could be at no 25.

are u out of ur mind.

i have posted the link too.

http://www.amazon.jp/s/ref=nb_ss_fg_eng/503-2949231-7592764?__mk_ja_JP=%83J%83%5E%83J%83i&url=search-alias%3Dvideogames&field-keywords=&Go.x=15&Go.y=10

thta is the truth from a foreigners perspective since AC 4 cannot be on the top 100 list having sold just 400 copies last week and 21k copies till date.

apply some common sense.

that link is based on "COUNTER"....clicks hit on that page.

my link is based on the sales per hour "BESTSELLING"

http://www.amazon.jp/s/ref=nb_ss_fg_eng/503-2949231-7592764?__mk_ja_JP=%83J%83%5E%83J%83i&url=search-alias%3Dvideogames&field-keywords=&Go.x=15&Go.y=10

but again AJ doesnt reflect on actual sales .take AC 4 for instance.

143Armored Core 4From Software8 46621,716

could this be at no 25 or even no 37????

you tell me.

is it possible????
