Yamauchi - Gran Turismo still in the works for PSP
August 14th, 2008 @ 07:43
Phantasy Star Universe Portable’s still lording over Japanese software sales, with Fire Emblem on DS punching up quickly into second place. Story of the week, though, has to be 360-exclusive Tales of Vesperia, with 108,000 units sold. The hardware figures are going to be worth watching this week.
Week ending August 10. Last week’s here. Thanks, NeoGAF.

Ooh! Is that the highest ever first week for an Xbox 360 game? I can’t remember what Blue Dragon did.
Edit: 83,000 in its first week. So I *think* that’s a record, by quite some way. Unless I’m forgetting some other ‘huge’ 360 release in Japan.

NPD tonight and Japanese Hardware Friday I think. Could be a good week for MS this.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:36 am
Apparently the Famitsu early figures have the Wii on 36,000 and the 360 on… 24,000.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:37 am
And apparently they sold out of 360s. You couldn’t actually get one in the shops.

Namco had another 360 success with their Ace Combat game. Good for them - looks like they know how to keep their fans happy.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:42 am
Yeah. All respect to Namco.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:44 am
No! You must hate Namco! For they hate Europe, and for that they must die! Die! Twice!
August 14th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Sold out. Blimey!

It’s funny… but then it also shows how utterly inept MS is at gauging the Japanese market.
August 14th, 2008 at 11:02 am
You can’t really blame them for not seeing that coming, though.
