BTW... when is FF13 releasing for 360 in japan. So weird it aint on the list

Or maybe it just shows how many X360 gamers in Japan don't have PS3 at home ;)

I guess anyone who wanted FF13 got a PS3 :P

Monster Hunter 3 did 1.8 Million week 1 according to the Japan Preview. Thats why I said this was inaccurate a few months ago, it still is very inaccurate. I don't see why all of you make a big fuss out of these numbers, they are misleading.

The game had more preorders than that, also according to the preview. Capcom undershipped.

No COMG is one store and these pre-orders are from that 1 store. I don't know which world all of you are living in but you can't take 1 store and use it as a basis for an entire countries pre-orders.

Doesn't change the fact that MHP3 was undershipped. 2 million shipped and every store is pretty much sold out according gaf (and Japan preview). Could have done over 2m with bigger shipment. Not saying that it would have topped Pokemon though. Second week sales will be probably pretty huge.

I don't care about Monster Hunter my good man or how it will be selling. I am just pointing out that some of you need to stop taking these numbers COMG gives out seriously, even a broken clock will be right once a day.

I think COMG is actually a chain of 7-8 physical stores plus an online store. It's a nice slice of data, but it's overwhelmingly weighted towards PlayStation products and more niche software, and not at all representative of the JP market at large. If you want something more evenhanded, then look at Azalyn, though he's just one small shop he also makes market wide predictions and estimations based on 2nd hand info collected from other shops and distributors. Has a pretty decent track record too afaik.

DK only jumped 12 points again...Standing at 93. But I still have hopes. In Americas, it did 2.5x of what the preorders were. I believe this game will sell more FW based on no pre-ordered sales.

Above: still the best game of the year.

.........A brocken clock will be right twice a day. Also were using the numbers as an estimate whats wrong with that? no one has had a heart attack because the numbers were off or anything.
