VF5 should do pretty good! Hell, [EM] Might even beat the 40k the X360 version sold. But after VF5 comes out and then a little after Gundam Musou...ummmm....there are no PS3 games for Japanese players for like 6 months until the first REAL wave of games starts hitting in nov/dec.
If PS3 makes a comeback it'll be in Dec. I wouldn't expect a single game in the top30 anytime from april/may->november.

Its going to take a lot more than a couple of good games to knock the DS and Wii off these charts. Hell a year ago people assumed that the PS3 would be dominating already.
I doubt much will change in just one year, especially considering all of the games that are coming to the DS and Wii in that time.

I'll give you this, the first half is one hundred percent correct. Who knows about the second though...could be, but looking less likely every week.
As long as Atlus can get some more games out there at some point, I don't think they'll have a problem getting 100k with a start like that. The demand seems to be there.
Still, it was a missed opportunity... the DS audience has been proving over the past few months that it's pretty hungry for more RPGs (I'd guess an awful lot of fans have been migrating with FF3, Pokemon, DQMJ, and the DQIX announcement)... they had a golden opportunity to sell really, really well, I think. But I'm optimistic the game'll still pull in nice numbers.
Really great start for Dragon Shadow Spell, too. I'm sure Flightplan is pleased.
GU keeps getting larger and larger opening weeks with each successive game.

Shame Atlus underestimated the demand. Hopefully it continues to sell once the game is available.
Is the GU series any good?

It does my heart good to see Yakuza on a chart in 2007. Fantastic game, one of the best of the generation.
Nice to see MGPO with legs, too! Honestly didn't see that coming.
Or Gears for that matter. It's not exactly Earth-shattering, but the fact that it charted at all means something.

I don't know if its fair to say it has legs. Sega re-released it as a budget version (around 15 USD) a few weeks before Yakuza 2 came out so sales picked up.

Not really. This has been happening since DOA4. If it charts at all next week I'll be shocked.

What the hell is wrong with the PS3 software sales, or the lack thereof

Yeah, realized what he meant after rereading the post. But I'm sure some PS3 games will come out between April and November, some potential candidates:AniHawk said:

Well hey, if Yakuza didn't have any kind of demand a year later it wouldn't have been in the top 20 for the last month. There are a whole lot of 'PS2 The Best' titles that can't make the same claim. It has legs, they just turned out to be budget legs

Maybe it did just sell to every last yoge otaku in Japan and will fall off next week. But it's kind of the poster child for "Japan hates this kind of game", and it could have easily done 6-8k like alot of those sorts of titles do. It sold way better than Lost Planet, which is more tailored to that market.
I think it says something in that the 360's managed to put together a string of occasional games that make a blip - it's done more than the first box managed over there (it had what, 5 games that did anything at all over its whole lifespan?), and still has a bunch of semi-big rpgs on the way. Almost smells like (very slow) progress.

Wow, almost a million apiece for both Wii Sports and Wii Play

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
HOLY SMOKES!! That is AMAZING. 33,212 games were sold?! Rerally? That's not a typo. Unbelievable. But probably true. Congratulatioins to Cliffy B. and the men and women at Microsoft Games Studios. Gears of War's Japanese perfermance is truley remarakable. Wow... just, wow. I'm not too knowledgable about video games sales (or the japanese)... but I know a BIG NUMBER when I see one. and 33, 212 is a very big number. Think about that... thirty-three thousand and two-hundred and twelve japanese people bought Gears of War. That just mind-boggling... it truely is. I mean, how many people even live in Japan? 300,000? Wow. That means one-and-ten Japanesers already owns a copy of "Gears of War" (a sales record?). Just an awesome sales performance for an awesome game. Its scary how well the Xbox 360 has been doing lately. 'SaleScary'!Cheesemeister said:

Actually, didn't it do exactly the same as Lost Planet? I thought somebody said early that Lost Planet sold 33,000 it's first week.
