What is 7th dragon?

Pretty predictable week except for the PSP. I am guessing it got a bundle or new color since it doesn't look like it got big software this week.

Mario and Luigi still hanging in the top ten. That is really good considering other big software has tended to just drop after the first couple of weeks.

thought the new color effect for PSP was last week when it was up 30% comparing to two weeks ago... this week is over 50% jump... interesting

 

Thats japanese girls for you. If its cute, they'll buy. If its in plenty of fashion colors, they'll buy it. If they BFFs (cant even believe I wrote this...I lost 35 points of my IQ.) buy, they'll soon follow.

PS- just saying this cuz I've read (here or Kotaku) that it was written in the articles about that REV sales that there where lots of young women buying PSPs at the same time, not sure if its real, just following with the info I got.



Amazingly good sales for both RE 5 versions, but especially the 360. It's the best selling non-exclusive on the system. 360 hardware is a bit low, but the RE 5 bundle probably kept the sales even.



Daaaammmmnnn! Sony > All in japan. Wowow.

PSP sales are noice, and PS3 @ 40-freaking-k. This is what happens when a steady stream of games comes out.

Biggest news this week is that in it's 50th week on the charts, Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G is still in the top 10 of sales. My god. And it will hit 3 mil after it's 52nd week (1 year) on the charts in only one region. I can't believe that MHP2G has outsold the PS3 in Japan. Kudos to Capcom, Awesome game.

Remember Sony Playstations 1 & 2, that's when it WAS still like that. PS3 on other hand, will never see that kind of glory I'm afraid :(

 

Ah, the good old days :)



  

Sony's kicking butt lately, I like it, keep it up!!!

Why is SkyNet wearing a PS3 Logo???

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 am not 100% sure on what territories Famitsu, Mediacreate and/or Dengeki cover, so for all I know they are already counted.

 

I guess not.  A lot of friends of mine in Taiwan are playing this game non-stop and this game was sold out everywhere in Taiwan since launch on 2/26.  But the VGChartz "other" # for this game is still 0.

 



It (PS3's market share) might hit 30%, but definently not more. ~ Neo

Whoa if PSP numbers are right!?

The PSP is having quite the turnaround in Japan indeed.

Two new colors (blue, red) for PSP were released in Japan last week.  A lot people have been holding up for their purchase I guess.

There will be another two new colors (green, yellow) to be released soon.
