[NDS] Phantasy Star Zero (Sega) - 63,000 (31%)

Very disappointing for Phantasy Star Zero. Unlike Phantasy Star Portable, it even had an Online Infrastructure, and yet it didn't even make one third of its sales. For some reason multiplayer games sell much better on PSP than on anything else in Japan.



*Phantasy Star Portable sold 217,000 on day one.

Let me just add that for some reason PSP appears to be the safest bet for multiplayer games in Japan.

The ps3's "saviour" if anything is the stream of constant releases that started hitting last month.  It has lead to increased sales across the board, and these sales should stay up until at least April with releases like Yakuza 3, Resident Evil 5 (not really that big in Japan anymore, though), Street Fighter IV, Demon's Souls (though tbh I think it'll be crap), and the FFVII Blu-Ray + FFXIII demo, among others.



you better not be shitting on one of my most anticipated games >:( (Demon's Souls)

I'm only worried because the TGS demos were plagued by clipping and a horrific framerate.  I initially assumed they had around a year to polish the game up...but then they announced a release date in Februray.

Just wondering, is the February release still Japan only?  Or have they announced something worldwide?

Though I fear the game won't be good, it has this strange charm that grabs me, and I can't wait to at least try it out.  :)

i hope they release a NA version i want advent children in blu ray its my fav CGI movie

 



I wonder if VGC will provide us with the info of how ACC+FFXIII demo performs in March. In Japan it is the biggest upcoming PS3 "game" of the near future after all.



the mystery source from early was actually fairly accurate but slightly off on all of them. 100k - 132k, 50k - 63k , 25k - 22k.

he did say that WKC had a very high sellthrough which it didn't really.

PSZ is dissapointing for sure, i'm sure they were expecting double that at least.
