...So you think expat growth in Japan has increased 4-5 fold that made Fable 2 sell 30,000 units on day-1, while Fable 1 sold 13,000 over it's entire lifetime?

No. I think it's that Japanese that buy a X360 for RPGs buy it for....RPGs - even Western ones. No other system has seen the kind of WRPG success the X360 has had.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Very good numbers all around. A little low for ToH (I think) and GM2 for the X360.

Otherwise, it's a robust market. And holy crap @ Fable 2 - it doubled Fable 1's LTD in a day.

Amazing that it'd do that. Western RPGs have an Eastern home on the X360.

Considering Fable was launched on "The Shooterbox", a system that was really dead on Japan, below 500k LTD and only selling Halo, DOA and NG games... The 360 is not doing really great, but it's doing a lot better than the Xbox, and has a lot of J-appealing games, especially JRPGs, so those 360 owners are more interested in a WRPG than with the Xbox...

Hey and i called Dissidia being about Crisis Core first day... go me.

Best reason to get that game is crazy clown magic.

I'm surprised that the PS3 version of GM2 outsold the PS2 version.

Eveything else sells very well.

Joysound could be huge or just die off.

Yep.

It's the protaganist of every FF game 1-10 along with the villian of each.

Then we have Shanatto and Gabranth from FF XI and FF XII respectively.

It doesn't surprise me too much. I mean that's a great market for PS3... anime nerds.

I'm pretty sure Blu-ray released anime editions do great... and PS3 plays blu-ray.

Hence why i'm still hoping against hope the Super Robot Wars games end up on the PS3.

Yeah, figured they might throw in a few extras where needed though.

I mean Terra is really only the protaganist of the first half of FF6....

Of course that was the real awesomeness of that game... it's of very few games where the story telling isn't centered around 1 character.
