If by "taking over" you mean "still far behind" than yes.

Thats was amazing for 1 year late port. It might surpass X360 LTD 1st week. Looks like Jp will have lots of JRPG for PS3 afterwards. Resonance of Fate, FFXIII, and SOIV in Feb 10. All will sell more than 400k. 2 million for FFXIII.

we should start to see more Japanense type games on the ps3, all thats left is a dragon quest and a monster hunter game, both will be out for sure but when?

SE = Standard Edition / LE = Limited Edition / AE = Anniversary Editio

even wii symphonia is lower with a bigger userbase.

and vesperia its port! with some add ons not a new game.

Although a source would be nice, I'm just going to guess that you got these numbers from the source in the top thread.

Anyway, thank you so much for actually provide us with Day 1 numbers, as the person that started this thread didn't do that (maybe the numbers were not out when he started this thread?).

Did you not read the story where the devloper explained that it made a great deal of sense to release JRPGs on Xbox 360 first?

"[WII] Forever Blue 2: Umi no Yobigoe (Nintendo) - 12k"

That's the only game listed that I am close to interested in playing. Hope it has legs in Japan or at least Nintendo decides to make a third version of the game.

Yeah the source is the same as in the OP.

Compared to the 1st week sales of Forever Blue of 17,000, Forever Blue 2's 12,000 first day is pretty good. House of the Dead Overkill, looks like it will be lucky to get half HotD 2&3's first week's sales though.
