What? A 360 game in the top ten?

The world is ending.

This is maddness!!! BTW SC4 is doing great on 360 even with the smallest install base in japan.

the 360 owners in japan have been starved for new games, of course they are going to jump at the chance to buy this game.

the ps3 owners hpwever have been to busy buying MGS4 to even care about this game

Fatal Frame Only had an initial shipment of 35k...

Very nice sell though.

End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

360 was at 5200 units last week and improving by 400 each week since at least 3-4 weeks ago.In my opinion ,and we have seen some examples of this ,this is due to the anticipation of Tales of Vesperia.6k just the week before the release seems a good bet.

PS3 games have been selling good numbers lately ,we have had nearly each week a PS3 game in the charts since late May:Soul Calibur IV ,Initial Stage D ,Siren:Blood Curse,Tears to Tiara ,Metal Gear Solid 4 ,Dragonball Z,Valkyrie Profile Chronicles ...all have had solid sales ,in line of what was expected or clearly above.That shows that the PS3 userbase of 2.3-2.4 million users may be restricted right now ,but at least its a hardcore one and they buy quite a number of games.

I think we'll continue to see decent games for both the 360 and PS3 sell good for their respective userbases, simply because both cater more to the hardcore Japanese user.

Rhythm games always sell well

I hope that's a joke.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
