Star Scream on 20 February 2009

Star Ocean IV (X360) - 130,000 (80%)

Idol Master SP (PSP) - 84,000 (Perfect Sun 33,000 (65%), Missing Moon 28,000 (65%), Wandering Star 24,000 (55%))

Shining Force Feather (NDS) - 19,000 (30%)

Dead Rising (Wii) - 6,400 (30%)

Sacred Blaze (PS2) - 14,000 (30%)

Dodonpachi Daioujou Black (X360) - 8,000 (50%)

==============================================================================

Not bad for Star Ocean IV (almost the same as White Knight Chronicles (132,000)), although much worse than previous mainline games.

Idol Master for PSP, however, outsold LTD of all previous Idol Master games on day one. It also more than quadrupled the previous Idolmaster day one sales (19,000).

Bit disappointing for Shining Force Feather and Dead Rising Wii, though.

Nice Dodonpachi sales, my import copy is on its way!

That's pretty amazing for a 360 game.

Didn't Infinite Undiscovery and LAst Remnant have 1st day sales around 90k?

I expected a little bit more from SO4. Still very good, 1st week of about 180k probably. Unless it drops of dramatically it will become the best sold 360 RPG in Japan so far.

I didn't expect 130k from SO IV, especially as there are only 2000 users on MGC

130k for first day - Impressive. Let's hope it's not as frontloaded as the other JRPGs on 360.

NINJA GAIDEN 2」21k
Gundam OPERESHONTOROI 20k
Soul Calibur IV 35k
Tales of VESPERIA 71k
Infinite Undiscovery 72k
GTAIV 27k
The Last Remnant 79k
SO4 131k
