Forums - Sales - Japan First Day Sales - Afrika 20k + More

Afrika did pretty well for its first day. I'm surprised at BF:BC, I thought Japan doesn't appeal to FPS

Well, compared to the west they don't sell too great, but good ones can sell 100k+. Resistance & COD4 have both done that on PS3. Resistance was a launch title though, so it will be interesting to see how the sequel does.

From NeoGAF

PS3 Afrika - 20.000
PSP Fate Tiger Colosseum Upper - 20.000
PS3 Battlefield Bad Company - 11.000
360 Too Human - 6.500
WII Captain Rainbow - 4.300
360 Clannad - 3.800

That's pretty good for Battlefield. Not bad for Afrika, presumably it won't be as front loaded as most other PS3 games.

 

So how much do you think it will sell first week? The 360 version of BF:BC sold just over 14K the first week in Japan.

If they have to make it expand to gain more money, Afrika wont sell well in America and Europe unless it is geared towards the younger audience and casual audience.

WTF is up with Battlefield being up there.

That's why I think it's pretty good seeing as it already released on 360 two months ago. Will probably be around 20k first week, might end up around 50k across both formats, which is respectable for Japan.

Afrika could a,one hit 50k in Japan... not bad seeing that the game is far from being heavily advertised and it wasnt on many gamers radar...
