No wonder that Sky Crawlers bombed, I can't even read the name of the game on the box. Why would someone buy something which he/she doesn't even know the name of? A good picture alone doesn't sell a game. Stupid Namco.

Look harder.
Unless your being funny... It's hard to tell these days.

You are right, it's really hard to tell. A few hours ago I got accused of being a member of the Sony Defense Force.

SDF is a joke site made up of people who actually hate Sony. I wouldn't be surprised if you were assosciated with them.

Ouch. Namco will not be happy with the Wii...

It seems utterly impossible for third parties to sell their games in Japan. On Wii especially, but on the other consoles as well.

@tarheel91: Going by more precise crho's numbers more like 13.6k. Still too much actually.

Judging by the shipments, I don't think they'll be too shocked...

Yuusha did nicely for day one, especially as you can buy it from the PSN too.

you guys kill me with your over reaction to FIRST DAY SALES! First day sales...Really? It's like no one pays attention to how Wii games sale. =/

The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?

Looks like Namco didn't ship out that much.
