Punch-Out isn't a budget title though.

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.

So? That make 1 big first party game, 1 game that re-uses the Klonoa engine and 1 budget title. Why so serious?



Why are you guys suprised Gears 2 scored well in Famitsu ? They seem to love shooters, even Haze got 34/40 (and Halo 3 38/40 afaik).



They really trashed those games. Don't understand the Gears 2 love.

I'm not sure why you are calling me serious, but I was just noting 3 bad scores in a row for 3 games that were supposed to be good. I want to see how MH3 scores, if it gets a bad score sales will be hurt, just like with these 3 games, I honestly don't expect any of these to break 100k.

Anyone knows how much did WSR got in Famitsu's review, or they didn't even care to review it?

WTF @ GEARS OF WAR?!!

I thought the Japanese hated those kinds of games! (I am beginning to think Famitsu are 360 fanboys, for some reason- I thought Japan disliked the 360 as well...)

they dont just hate the 360, they hate other consoles too (except the Wii), they're more into handhelds this gen as it appears.

 

on topic- maybe the good reviews can give Gears 2 decent sales in Japan.

Japan dislikes all home consoles to a certain extent, but they clearly hate the 360 the most. It's pretty much always bottom of the sales charts, and the PS3 isn't doing MUCH better, but it is doing better. And it has FFXIII.

With the exception of Punch Out nobody thought that Dragon Ball and Ju-On'll be good. Famitsus didn't review Wii sports resort or Wii Sports and Wii Fit (but still sells a lot)

 

 



They don't review bundled software or what? Did they review Animal Crossing CF?

Animal Crossing 33/40. They usually don't review "casual" titles like Wii Sports/Music/Resort/Fit, I think that they don't even reviewed Brain Academy. (but they gave Nintendogs a perfect 40)
