The nice sales of Valkyria Chronicles make up for the bad legs of Yakuza 3.

Bad legs for yakuza might be good for us. If sega is not happy with sales on home turf they might do fast translation to release it in other regions :D

Good numbers all around.

Last week Famitsu numbers diverged from VGC, wich diverged from Media's Create (about 1k units less to PS3 if I rember correctly) so it means a little diference here and there in the final count.

Good going Sony, Nintendo is ok, MS just tryig to keep its legs with multiplats. Next week should be a true indicator of how things stand after these past big hits are mostly thru.

Or if it doesn't sell well, it's a indicator that game doesn't have much appeal to the gamers that it is targeted at much less the universal appeal needed to succeed in the west.

The BEST edition of Valkyria Chronicles sold 4,700 last week, Demon's Souls sold another 6,200 copies.

Those are some legs on Demon's Souls.

Game should be around 100k by now right?

28.デモンズソウル 6200 83000

83,000 on Famitsu chart, and 10k or so higher on the MC.

Do we have any way of tracking Asian sales for this game (English version)? If so, do we count them here?

I know for a fact that it gets regularly stocked at sites like PlayAsia and sell out almost instantly.

This game is doing very well for itself.

I would think that it's included, but I'm not entirely sure.

I just wasn't sure what territories Famitsu, Dengeki and MC cover. I figured that going by how fast the Asian copies vanish at online sites they could be responsible for the legs we are seeing.

Asian sales aren't included in Japanese charts, these are Japanese sales only. GfK now track software sales in Hong Kong, and will extend this to other Asian countries, but I haven't seen a public chart from them.

Not much data from Asian region, but to get an idea of how much PS3 games sell there compared to Japan we have GT5:P shipments for Asia at 90k compared to 620k in Japan, so 15% of Japan sales. Of course certain games will be more popular in one country than another, but 15% is probably a good rule of thumb.
