What, do you live here or something? Yikes...

Anyways, what you fail to realise, Ninja Theory is employed by Sony... So, what that means is this.. Sony is footing the bill. Basically, sales mean nothing at this point. It's almost as if you want to see good games fail so they don't have a chance to become great games later on down the line with follow ups. Strange... Sad, really.

I hope, and I'm sure you already have, fail at everything you do... Everything. I hope you go bankrupt. Lose your wife... Lose your house... Everything. That's how absurd you sound. You're wishing these people to baiscally lose their lively hood cause their games aren't selling well. That's how twisted and offensive you are. You all hate me around here? Well, I hate a good deal of you all. Starting with this guy right up there.

2 - and why...

Is VGChartz actually thought of as a legit site? It's been debunked many times, yet stories using the site as their source proliferate on this site...

The reason why Heavenly Sword did not sell well in Japan is the same reason why Castlevania is a not a huge seller in Japan either. It's because it's a western game. The acting and the all the villians are too western for the Japanese.

8 - They are smart to not buy Heavenly Sword

Why spend full price on a 5 hour game that does not even have online play? I know the Sony fanboys will say 5 hours is a the perfect time for a game like that. Get real though HS is a rental at best.

Firstly, its longer than 5 hours, more like 8 or 9 lust on normal level. You've obviously never played it.

Second, Japan doesn't really care about online play, maybe thats why they dont care about Xbox.

Thirdly, you're a dikhead.

I personally don't like games with a female as the main character in an action game. I don't like HS and tomb raiders..its all BSH.. I got a chance to play RE on my PS2 last year and man that game SUCKS big time... I don't know how those Japaneses people think of a good game...

Japan is so strange it wouldn't surprise me if HS, R&C and even Uncharted all do poorly there. All fantastic games, made in the west, all though Resistance did pretty well for a western made FPS didn't it?

I just dont get a country that thinks DS is the ultimate gaming machine and WiiPlay and WiiSports are the best Killer Apps. Bizarre.

Rather than the 'oh AAA game this did crap' nonsense we usually see here, lets talk about how well Resi Evil did - I for one can't wait to pick it up.
