Sacrad is good, but i dont like this game ^^
Nice debut for Sacred 2, it's a great game. Too bad about MadWorld, but did anyone expect differently?
Mad World did good
It seems like a lot of western rpg gamers in Japan are 360 owners so that might be it (why Sacred 2 sold well on the 360 there). Though Sacred 2 is more like Diablo rather than a Bethesda game.

I haven't tried Sacred 2 but I have been wanting to get around to trying it eventually since I hear it's like Diablo.
ok so we're getting first day sales again? That's exciting. This week wasn't too exciting though. Zangeki did a little bit better than i thought it would but Nintendo has gotta do a better job of pushing these games.
Zangeki BOMBA...
@ Soriku ... if 17k is better than you thought... then you must have had horrible expecations... its a bad sellthrough 50% of shipments....
Let's see if NOA does not puss out on releasing this game on NA.
Zangeki did better than I thought, so did Madworld lol
Still low though.
Is God Eater holding "a la Monster Hunter" or it drops?
I am amazed that SEGA complained about Madworld sales (which are currently around +400k) and the game didn't even have a world wide release until now. My guess is that the title will pick up 70k lifetime in Japan. Not that great, but enough to hopefully get Madworld up to the 500k region.
Sacred 2 is the positive surprise here imo.
@Hephaestos: It was probably because Sega and Platinum Games intended this game for American audiences and only did the English voice work for it. Kind of like NMH and NMH2.
Heck, I don't even think Sega is publishing the game in Japan. 5k, first day isn't bad, it isn't good but I can see the game doing closer to 12,000 in the first week.
Decent Zangeki numbers. I wasn't expecting much. It should get 25-26K for the week.
lol look at Sacred 2 it may have a 40k first week combined wow i didn 't expect that from a western rpg
Wow... no big release this week. I cant bealive on the other hand that Maddworld had 20k shipped for first week :-O Sacred on the other hand is doing great and the new DB game bombed even if its on the DS :|
Is there any major games being released this week in Japan?
Only 11k is low for a Dragon ball game. Maybe the franchise is failing.
I don't like Reginleiv.
Poor MadWorld. This is a good game and deserves good results.
what in marworld took 1 year to port to it's home country??
I thought Reginleiv was going to do 17k first week...
dragon ball 17% sellthrough? that's rather sad..
ouch dragonball... 11k only
Zengeki did better than i expected tbh, and 360 version for Sacred did pretty well compared to the PS3
