Topic: Japanese Sales inside ( UNBELIVEABLE ) !!!

[akdaman1]

O.K , I know this is another Japanese thread but ...that is Denkgei sales ...

http://www.gamecubeland.com/index.php?page=news&news_id=2005

This is unbelievable .

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 )

Very impressive.

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 ?

[KDR_11k]

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.

[akdaman1]

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 ) .

[KDR_11k]

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

[vudu]

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.

[KDR_11k]

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

[akdaman1]

Well I have been searching a few forums and checking up Vj , and it IS out ...and it has a easier mode and an RUMOURED harder mode.

It came out on the 19th of Dec .

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.

[akdaman1]

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.
