Zelda has never been that popular in Japan, especially compared to the west. So 300k is a pretty good start for it.

FF13 is dropping like a rock, which is to be expected. I'm suprised it's already down to 4 though as I was thinking it would be at #3, but Tomodachi Collection is having a stellar legs.

Smeags said: New Super Mario Bros. Wii... this game is huge. Can't wait to see what numbers it'll put it this week WW! Oh, and all but confirms that the game has another million selling week, making it 4 weeks in a row. And seeing as it only needs 50k in Japan to get the 5th week too, I'm sensing that we're gonna see one heck of a record!

Well the game released later in Japan compared to the Americas/Europe, so these numbers will be week #4 for the game in Japan. (which should be +500k)

yeah I'm kinda curious about that too, like, why? I mean I have VC and I love that game but it's SRPG so I don't even know how it can be compared to Lost Odyssey. Just kinda confused and need some explaination.

I don't know but usually famitsu numbers are the "high end" of the jappannesse preview on vgchartz

nope: http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showpost.php?s=412e91f2fa14d4894de1abfa52bfb3b3&p=12911953&postcount=1277

This is kinda disappointing. Hoping for a decent numbers for FF.

Yeah, that's what I meant, sorry. This week's Japanese #'s will be accounted for WW week #4 (guaranteed over a million) and next week's Japan #'s will be for WW week #5 (only needs 50K to achieve 1 million). Pretty neat I'd say.

That's like saying WRPGs are RPGs just as JRPGs are RPGs even though they have different style and game play so they should just all fit in one category of RPGs and we should be then comparing Mass Effect to Valkyria Chronicles too. Point is Lost Odyssey and VC are very different games no matter who made them or where they came out from. I'm happy that VC is still selling personally, just don't exactly see the connections is all I'm getting at.

These Top 10 lists for PS3 and Xbox 360 are only for "The Best" titles, which is the same as "Greatest Hits" in the USA and "Platinum" in Europe. The overall Top 10 lists of 2009 for PS3 and Xbox 360 look way different and with way higher sales.

Ah, yeah sorry I mis-understood what you wrote. Yeah, it's guaranteed +1million for week 4 and week 5 I'd say. I wonder how long it can hold up for? (+1million weeks)

I got my copy in Japan's week #4. Excellent game.
