PlayStation Games Dominate Japan Again According to Tsutaya's Charts, JoJo and FFXIV Still Ahead

Like every week, the major Japanese retailer Tautaya published its charts to give us a glimpse on what games achieved the best sales in Japan last week.

While not as precise as the Media Create charts published on Wednesday, Tsutaya's charts are considered telling, as the retailer has a very high number of stores strategically placed everywhere in the country, so its sales are rather statistically relevant.

5. Killzone: Mercenary - PS Vita
8. Puppeteer – PS3

ERMAHGAD!
Is Japan finaly starting to warm up to more western games(Killzone)? This is no critism to Japan btw.

@Abriael
This is a fps though i mean the genre isnt amazingly popular in Japan not even cod.

Abriael3888d ago (Edited 3888d ago )

That's pretty good for Japan

Though that's not so new, the last of us, uncharted 2, 3 and others got first in Japan when they were released.

Now, have to say for a Vita title that's still impressive though, given that the vita's installed base is much smaller than the PS3s.

GraveLord3888d ago

Big western games always chart. They drop off pretty fast though.

majiebeast3888d ago

I think Lastofus stayed in the top10 for a few weeks didnt it?

Abriael3888d ago (Edited 3888d ago )

About FPS games, Halo 3 got first as well on release, and considering it was on 360, THAT was impressive lol.

We're pretty much at a point that if they're big, hyped and marketed, and their aesthetic are even decently compatible with the Japanese ones (for instance Halo has very Japanese-friendly looks) they'll sell.

sinncross3888d ago

Some Western games have done well before.

I know JHS students love (or starting to) CoD. No lies... many of my students I ask tell me they enjoy playing that.

Protagonist3888d ago

Get back to work and earn that money for the PS4 and the PS Vita TV ;))) j/k

abusador3888d ago

lol Ps4, Killzone SF, Camera, etc.... all paid off ;)

Protagonist3888d ago

You on a roll! so all that is left you is to preorder the PS Vita Tv... and you are all set!

Protagonist3888d ago (Edited 3888d ago )

Great for Sony and the PS Vita but we all know Monster Hunter 4 will rule the charts soon and the 3DS will probably dominate the JP chart when the Pokemon games will be added to the collection.

Handheld gaming may decline in the west, but in the land of the east handheld gaming rules!

Mr-SellJack3888d ago

Xbox Profanity Filter Is Ruining the FFXIV Chat

The Xbox profanity filter is currently ruining the readability of the FFXIV chat on Xbox Series X/S due to censored words.

Lol, damn... At this point, they were better off keeping FF XIV away from Xbox. It has been nothing but obstacle, after obstacle.

gold_drake30d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

What happens if you say things that used to get you banned on Twitter e.g. 'a man can't be a woman'?

DivineHand12529d ago

I'm not convinced this is the profanity filter. It doesn't make sense to censor words like class, harvest and dance. It seems to be a bug.

TheGamingHounds29d ago

Well, FF14 itself has some pretty awful chat censoring so Xbox being in the same boat isn't too farfetched

Eidolon29d ago

it censored the S T D in "harvest dance" and I bet the A S S in class. I know this because of Runescape

Aphrodia29d ago

Yeah these new fangled filters are going a bit too far. I have a game that filters "wtf". It's a censor for a self-censoring phrase. But I think overall it's how it should be. If you don't want certain language being used in your game by your player base, then it's up to you to filter/ censor the language you don't want. I can respect that. What I can't respect is when you say things that are not really offensive then you get ostracized for it.

shinoff218329d ago

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA29d ago

This is completely false, I tested this on my son's child account and mine, this is not Microsoft censoring they will censor swears but not the combination of letters I can prove this with a screenshot where I use all mentioned words in the article but do not know how to upload a picture.

NOMATICENIGMA29d ago

You can all continue your bashing, I was wrong someone explained to me this is a new policy, that's why it only happens for me in this brand new release. I'll try latter on ps to confirm but their response seemed informed wich leaves me rather worried for future censorship on my xbox.

CrimsonWing6929d ago

Geezus, Xbox, you get gifted gold and still f*ck things up.

NOMATICENIGMA29d ago

It's not xbox, go ahead start a chat with the youngest person on your friends list then say raid mass class sass said .... they do not censor any of these I even got away with R.Aids. sqaure on the other hand does.

CrimsonWing6929d ago

Does this affect PC and PS4/PS5 users, too? Or is it only happening on Xbox?
