Media Create: Fallout 3 has a strong Japanese debut

Japanese gamers are not the biggest fans of Western shooters, but Fallout 3 still managed to rank in the top ten in last week's Media Create sales numbers for the island country.

Debuting at a respectable number 9 with 30,600 units sold, the Xbox 360 version of Fallout 3 did pretty well. Knowing that the Xbox 360 install base is limited when compared to the PS3 in Japan, that's pretty good. The PS3 version comes out in January of next year.
