Japan is wierd and not everyone likes racing games.
I mean look at the US. Some how Black Ops sells 58205827503 copies even though it's essentially a re-skinned World at War which is...
You get the point.

 

[GTP_Music]

Black Ops is a terrible game in my opinion, and America is a funny place.

 

[iNiff]

mostly portable games.. japan loves portables.

 

[Organ-Donor]

"We love cars" is a lie!

 

[GT Motion]

I am not really sure how accurate those numbers are, or what they are even recording? Is this just for one week?

 

[xNEVER-ONEx]

I think those are total sales up to date for the product.

 

[Stigsblkcousin]

I'd imagine the few that are into it, are REALLY into GT.

 

[gt3killer]

Japan is not into console games portable gaming is the trend over there.

Japanese software/hardware chart (12/20 - 12/26)

Last weeks sales first then, total sales ever in brackets.

 

[gta0004]

Its a per week so sales are bound to die down

 

[GeeTeeR]

*sarcasm*Pokemon Black and White at fourth place?I'm calling bs, it should be at least second.*sarcasm*

 

[sraczk2011]

When classics like Monster Hunter are available, why would you waste your time with GT5? The cover alone makes me want this masterpiece.

I'd imagine the few that are into it, are REALLY into GT.

Yeah, there's a cult following for everything in Japan, like air sex and pillow cases.
