I know that, but normally we get rumored numbers early in the day, do we not?

As long as Cheesemeister has become the first post head honcho, that should become a static part of it.

I've almost got the top 50 parser done for Thursday nights. Hopefully I can cobble the rest together after work tonight to have this update be just as automated. :)

I don't particularly care who makes the first post as long as it remains updated. I think the Pacman stuff is funny but it could get old quickly. The thing I like the most is the top five getting boxart shots. Good idea there. I'd prefer it to be 3-2 rather than 4 and then 1 wrapping around to the next line, though.

For comparison, here's what PS2's 10th week on the market looked like according to Famitsu. I could get a more complete picture by looking at the previous 9 weeks... but that would take looking at the previous 9 weeks.

#6, Tekken Tag Tournament, 12K, 358K total
#7, [evuagureisu]?, 12K, 87K total
#11, Ridge Racer V, 7K, 517K total
#12, Dead or Alive 2, 7K, 265K total
#13, Decisive battle (Kessen?), 7K, 285K total
#18, Golf paradise?, 5K, 105K total
#27, Fantavision, 4K, 112K total
#30, Gradius III & IV, 4K, 59K total

Wow. PS3 is way behind in terms of software sales...of course, the PS2 was out in March of the previous year, having about eight months more on the market in Japan than the PS3 at this point in the calendar year. Still, just goes to show how weak the damand for PS3 software is compared to PS2 despite having a price fairly close to the original PS2 there and having better supply at retail during this same point in its lifetime. There's barely two 100k+ sellers for the PS3 in Japan so far. Sony also wasn't fighting two other next-gen systems...until a year and a half later when the GC entered the market and a few months later for the original XBOX. Sony needs to get their act together.

You should get a bigger screen, even on my 13" laptop (1280*800) I get the 5 picture neatly lined up on a single line.

M-C and Famitsu should provide weekly software sale totals to match their hardware sale totals - the ratio is an important factor in determining a console's success. The major problem for the PS3 and PSP is that they aren't shifting games at the moment. But I am surprised that so many people in Japan are buying a PSP for non-gaming activities.

I always was told that Japan is a horny country, girls are not whores, but not exactly reserved or prude, and sex from around 16 is common. (Anecdotal, from Japanese friends of mine). So why all the PSPornable.

Shouldn't PS3 have at least jumped a little due to VF5 being released yesterday? Surely at least some people would have bought the console in preperation for the game.

This is not looking good for Sony at all.

Wow.. as expected, PS3 continues its drop week-over-week. I think next week should boost it up to 30-40k, though.

Wii dropping too.. How are supplies in Japan? Are there still widespread shortages?

PSP has been doing pretty well this year, surprisingly. Good for Sony.

**** - are those hardware totals correct? If so, a bit of a slump for Wii, but I'd expect it to bounce back with the next wave of software releases. Blimey at the PS3 dropping further below 20K, though...
