Considering this has a good chance of being the 360's biggest week in Japan this year, 24,584 is a bit lower than I expected. Still though, it's a huge improvement over last year at the same period and should ensure that 360 doesn't see Q1/2 2008 numbers in Japan again for at least a few months.

Looks like Seece was correct to persuade me of 1 week.

'Gratz to 360.

Excellent hardware number!!@

Very good numbers. Let's see if 360 can manage to stay above 10k for a few weeks.

130k represented 80% sellthrough and SE had to restock over the weekend, so there was probably a ceiling to how much SO4 could've sold.

Wow thats amazing, I wonder if the 360 will see a longer reaching upspring in cboth consoles and sales of RPG software.

Do any of you think this may help Ninja Blade? even if just a little bit?

Congratz to 360 and the good sales that can pass the Wii ones this week, I expected a little more, but this numbers are good as well...

Not congratz at all to Square Enix/Tri-Ace, because the 4th main installment of the Star Ocean franchise got the 2nd lowest first-week sales, only behind Star Ocean on the SNES... And not only that, this game got less than half sales, i expected to be low, but not this low...

It'll be interesting to see how sales go in the US and Others.

Very impressive first week for a 360 game in Japan. The 360 has become the most interesting console to track in the region for me.

hw sales are less than i predicted i think IU sold the most hardware if i can recall.

these boosts will continue if microsoft keeps nabbing exclusive rpg`s sony needs to learn from this quick, or they will fall behind in japan.
