Gears of War on the top 10 and Dragon Quest nowhere to be found? Weird.

Good for Etrian Odyssey.

Either stores are 100% sold out of DQM, or all the hardcore games bought it right away and now there is no audience as it doesn't appeal to the casual non-gamer crowd.

 

[SpacLock]

I'm glad Gears is selling over there. It's such a great game.

 

[apotema]

Whoa at Dragon Quest!!!

 

[cvxfreak]

Media Create cited a shortage last week for DQM IIRC.

 

[apujanata]

Please do not shorten the publisher name.

DQM should be sold out, right ?

I can see lower Wii H/W sales, maybe in the range of 60K-80K (based on Wii play and Wii sports sales).
Why there is no PS3 software ? It is really bad.

 

[Jokeropia]

Where is Dragon Quest?

Sold out, probably.

 

[Earthstrike]

At least these sales trend are getting interesting again.

How do you explain Gears? :lol

DQ games usually have legs don't they? Shortage is more likely.

 

[Duderz]

Can we get Zelda's LTD sales?

 

[DCharlie]

Sold out, probably.

it's sold out pretty much everywhere.

 

[reggieandTFE]

Dragon Quest Monsters was sold out at most stores when I was in Osaka the week before this chart came out so...I'm assuming that's why its off the chart.

 

[Illuminati]

How do you explain Gears? :lol

An anomaly in the matrix that began last weekend when Payton Manning beat Tom Brady in the playoffs.

 

[Jokeropia]

it's sold out pretty much everywhere.

Ok, thanks for the confirmation.

 

[Branduil]

Clearly the 360 will rise to heaven in Japan now.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Xbox 360 game in the top ten, not a single PS3 game to be found in the top 30, and 23/30 Nintendo.

...this is just weird, if you try to picture this from the perspective of last generation. I really, really hope PS3 numbers are up from last week.

 

[Deku]

Wow Gears sold well! This is new.

 

[ant1532]

How did Blue Dragon do overall?

 

[JoJo13]

Hopefully Gears does better than Lost Planet sales for the coming weeks.

For the third parties, I imagine Japanese sales for 360 games are considered little more than gravy. They're probably ecstatic to get 50k.

 

[Branduil]

Hopefully Gears does better than Lost Planet sales for the coming weeks.

Blue Dragon dropped fast as well.

 

[Eteric Rice]

This is one straaaange list. Gears of War doing well in Japan?... What?

:lol

Console sales plz.

 

[Soul4ger]

Wow, awesome for Etrian Odyssey. Almost 35K, is that pretty much a complete sellout? I bet Atlus is kicking itself in hindsight.

And crazy shit for DQM. I know Play-Asia has had the "Ships in One Week" indicator for over two weeks now... I wonder if Square Enix is pissed at all?

 

[JoJo13]

How did Blue Dragon do overall?

~110k units

 

[Crom]

I remember seeing an article that said there wouldn't be any more shipments of DQM until the end of the month.

 

[ivysaur12]

Gears of War... wow.

But cool.

 

[CoolTrick]

Nit picking, but can commas be added to the numbers in the original post?

 

[Lobster]

Wow..MCS were pretty weak this week...

 

[castle007]

interesting GOW sales :O

 

[FtsH]

HW numbers?

 

[Jonnyram]

109,250 as of 1/06/07

Stop quoting vgcharts numbers in Media Create threads. It was outlawed a few weeks back, since the data doesn't match.
Thanks.

 

[apujanata]

When can we expect to see PS3 games consistently in the Top 30 ? It is not that much to ask, no ?

Sorry, I guess I'll edit my post then. :\

 

[NinSoX]

Microsoft probably bought 30,000 of those copies

When's the PS3 launch in Japan again? hmmm...maybe put up last weeks blu-ray movie chart....maybe?

 

[Eteric Rice]

You're basically asking it to go against the Nintendo DS. So yeah, that's to much to ask. :lol

 

[Avalon]

When was the release date for Enchanted Arms PS3?

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Bizarro world indeed.

 

[painey]

wow. First 360 game to sell 30k+ game units (hardware bundles excluded) in its first week?

 

[Deleted member 17706]

When was the release date for Enchanted Arms PS3?

Today I think.

They are doing commercials for it on television every once in a while so I assume it will at least sell better than the 360 version over here.

 

[AndoCalrissian]

Am I just missing it, or is DQM:J not in the top 30?

 

[mutsu]

Looks like DQ:M and FF3 suffered the same fate of shortages...

They better print 4 million copies of DQ9 before they even release it.

 

[Tiktaalik]

I'm ok with Wii Sports getting over a million, but Wii Play looks like horrible shovelware. Oh well.

 

[duderon]

Am I just missing it, or is DQM:J not in the top 30?

Read the thread, there's a shortage.

I'm guessing DSL sales will be <100k again because of the low Pokemon numbers.

 

[GhaleonEB]

wow. First 360 game to sell 30k+ game units (hardware bundles excluded) in its first week?

DOAX2 did ~45k, and I think Lost Planet topped 30k as well. Blue Dragon topped 30k excluding bundles.

I was predicting a month ago that the 360 would be selling in the "low single digit thousands" by now. And here it might be over 10k again. I'm actually quite surprised.

 

[meltpotato]

You're basically asking it to go against the Nintendo DS. So yeah, that's to much to ask. :lol

if you mean have at least two PS3 games move around 6k or more units, yeh sure

 

[AndoCalrissian]

Read the thread, there's a shortage.

I must have glossed over it, no need to get huffy.

 

[duderon]

I must have glossed over it, no need to get huffy.

No offense meant, sorry I came off that way

 

[mylilbuddy]

wow..good GoW numbers considering the games rating. Isnt it hidden behind counters?

ps3 still not showing up...something is wrong.

 

[jj984jj]

Nothing came out for PS3 last week though... eM is this week.

 

[Lee N]

Is new super mario bros over 4 million in japan yet?
