90 000 cubes sold in a week .. + 5 games on that list are over the 100 000 mark ( total )
All I want to know is where is Baten Kaitos ? I dont think Namco expected it to do very well ( they shipped around 120 000 )

Himeya lists BK on place 7 of some "Famitsu Game Ranking" of 22.12.03. I don't know what that means, though.

That was the famitsu rankings 2 weeks ago ...it sold 46 000 that week ( If I recall correctly ) , then last week it followed up with 16 000 .
I am also curious ...Where the heck is Viewtiful Joe revival ?

According to Lik Sang a re-release with an added level of difficulty ("Sweet") that's easier than Kids. L-S accuses Gamespot of misreporting it as more difficult than Ultra V-Rated.

No No No ...you got your self confused. There 2 new difficulties in this version , and Sweet and another one ( forgot its name , but its harder than ultra V ) .

Where did you read that? All sources I have seen spoke of only one additional difficulty.

i'm going to agree with kdr on this one...there's only one new difficulty level. it's "sweet", and it's easier than kids mode. ign originally reported that it was harder than ultra v-rated, and that's confused a lot of people. also, i don't believe viewtiful joe revival has been released yet, which is why it's probably not on the sales charts.

Hm, there's a Kamen Rider game in the charts... I heard that was the series that inspired Viewtiful Joe...

well there's your answer. if it just came out 4 days ago there's no sales data available yet. try back next week.

I could have sworn i saw the new version of VJ at the bottom of the chart somewhere a few weeks ago, guess it was something else, those wacky translations.

Well cube-europe have posted some new sales data along with the daily sales of December 22nd , where Mario Party is on top of the charts , and only 3 Ps2 games in the top 10.
