I knew Phantasty Star Portable would be good!

It's after the Monster Hunter crowd.

Wowowowow. Awesome.

Think that it'll have legs?

Fatal Frame looks like it'll be spot on with my 31-32k sales first week.

Wow, SCIV performed really well on the 360...must be because of all the jrpg love the 360 has had announced recently. And Tales of Vesperia I think comes out in a week or so...

Phantasy Star psp did really well too. I didn't think it would do THAT well in Japan. Good.

Thats a hard one to figure out. I don't think PSU on PS2/X360 had great legs in Japan when it launched. But like you said - It's after the Monster Hunter crowd. I think it should have legs IF Sega can ship enough copies next week!

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

SCIV didn't do that good on the ps3 yet amazingly good on the x360 imo. I really think there is a lot of hope left there for microsoft!

fatal frame is okay, in line with its predecessors.

Nice, FF4 performed well considering it's a small franchise in Japan.

Surprised at how close SC4's sales are between 360 and PS3.

Wow!

GREAT numbers for Phantasy Star Portable! I hope Sega can ship more units, and get that game into the 500k club!

Amazing for SC4 selling 90k first day, and the X360 version selling not too far behind the PS3 version (normally, it's around 3-4x more for the PS3)...Could we see a major X360 HW boost this week?

I hope PS3 kicks butt and outsells the X360 in Japan by a huge margin for the launch week of SC4.
