Japanese software sales, November 10-16

DS shows complete dominance of Japanese software sales this week, with only two games in the top 10 on any other format.

Kirby’s in the lead with Hoshi no Kirby: Ultra Super Deluxe, and Resistance 2 puts in an honourable showing there, debuting for PS3 at number five.

    “Wagamama Fashion Girls Mode”?

    Well that sounds much more original than LBP!

    I’ve never even heard of Samuraidou! A surprise PS3 hit? Blimey.

    What the hell? An FPS game in Japanese charts, halfway up through a Japanese chart, even? Well, that blew my mind.

    Also: If that’s what floats your boat, Gigs. Everything is subjective, so if that’s what floats your boat, then that’s how you’re going to see things. And to be honest, it explains a lot.

    Well, 33,000 units is still pretty crappy sales for a first week. I don’t think they’re converted yet.

    So they managed to convert it to Japanese and release it there well before SCEE manage to release it here … well done SCEE.

    See!

    I told you, didn’t I!

    The Japanese don’t take Europe seriously.

    Where as we treat them very seriously, importing only their best cultural programming (See Takeshi’s Castle and Ultimate Banzooki). :D
