MKWii is getting heavily outlegged by Wii Fit now.

They have dawn of the New world lower for 3 weeks than we have for 1 though.

In July, Wii Fit should pass MHF2:G, to be the 2nd best selling non-DS game this gen! MKWii could also pass Brawl there.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

PSP is still doing well in Japan, and without big releases.



Lost my faith in VGChartz. Too many stupid and ignorant Americans, even as moderators.

It's a shame, really. "The Boss" should do something radical about this Americanization, but it seems hardly feasible, so my days here are numbered.

these are sales for only one week for dawn of the world, not 3.



Reasonable on 15 July 2008

Looking at this I just can't work out MS not trying to get FF for Japan. The fact its on 360 now is likely going to be meaningless in this market.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

SE has seen that xbox doesn't sell in japan so i guess it was the decission from them not to invest any money in making a japanese version for the 360 (that could maybe sell max of 200-300k copies, with an install base of 630k now and only 11k console sales per month it won't do much more)
