massive sale. the last remant doing real good. 1 in 8 japanese 360 owners bought it on debut week. and jus massive numbers for gundam, chrono and animal crossing. healthy week in japan this week for all consoles and handhelds

Great Last Remnant numbers, it'll be interesting to see the bump that 360 console sales get.

vgchartzzzzzzz. these guys are worse than patcher

[Emmo]

wow, when will people realise these figures are nothing to do with VGCharts, they come direct from Japan, Famitsu I think

[Captain_Sony]

Had they listed PS3 as number one there wouldnt be an issue. Anytime VGCartz is posted and PS3 isnt listed as number 1, all the Sony fans say how wrong it and such but if PS3 is number 1 suddenly VGchartz is the best place to get info.

[SWORDF1SH]

thats boll*cks captain sony. if i can remember rightly the majority of ps3 fans didnt like vg charts even when the ps3 was winning ww sales. most of them were against it and as a result vg charts was banned from here during when sony was on top. personally i dont mind vgchartz and always look at the as a sale guidance every week. but please stop spreadin untrue sh*t

@Captain Sony

Yeah I recommend the advice of Swordfish as well.Its just sales of some consoles and handhelds.Its best not to instigate anything.

@Denges

Incorrect.Vgchartz gets their numbers from Famitsu,which is the most reliable source of sales figures in Japan currently.But I see your point that vgchartz is always negated by the more precise NPD in the west

[Captain_Sony]

Swordfish, Please STFU and stop pretending.. Any time an article comes out and doesnt list PS3 as number 1 you kids cry. Always have always will. You are either extremely stupid or just ignorant to how this site works. Even now there is an article on N4g that shows Wii having more interest then PS3 but all the Sony fans can talk about is how it means PS3 will rule Japan this holiday. Oh but Sony fans dont ever make things up or get mad over PS3 being shown in any negative way..... That my poor delusional friend is bullocks. WTH are you even from that Bullocks needs to be sensored? I could show you plenty of examples of just what I said happening but you of course think you represent the entire planet and anything you dont do nobody else does either.
@Steven, you also need to stop pretending. You know it happens unless you run around this site with your head shoved up your arse anyway. One person who acts like it never happens because they dont do it changes nothing. When VGchartz showed PSP300 doing good it was seen as a rebirth.. Nobody ever stopped to say"Hey its VGchartz.. That only happens when they show anything but a Sony product winning. ACt like it doesnt happen all day long. Doesnt change the FACT that it happens here every day.

[SWORDF1SH]

i didnt say every ps3 fan. i said the majority. big difference. of course you can find bad things sony fans say. you cant tar everybody with the same brush because of the minority of people thou. i can say the same for 360 fanboys. theres good and bad so dont make out its jus sony fanboys. o and btw from youre a blind bad fanboy. the likes we dont need. so if you are sayin that all sony fanboys are bad without even reconising that there are bad 360 fanboys, youre the one who as to get his head from up your own a**.

[Omega4]

Huge numbers for LR that could be the best selling 360 game in JP so far if im not mistaken

360 hardware should also get a significant boost as well

[TheColbertinator]

Excellent.Very good to see some strong sales figures in Japan after months of DS/PSP domination.

Last Remnant is impressive in sales but keep in mind that Samuraido(Way of the Samurai 3) had similar sales figures last week.It seems both games cancel each other out and the 360 and PS3 are at a stalemate this month.The PS2 still lives which is mighty impressive of course.

As for the the Wii,DS,and PSP games,the sales numbers are expected weekly
