Somebody forgot to tell Japan that all the games for the year that matter are already out. Seriously though, great week.

Unfortunate that ZELDA had quite the drop this week, but since the system is at the end of its cycle, it's probably not surprising. Still, I doubt the series will die in Japan; it should at least hit 500k. Yes, it WOULD be a low for the series, but at least it's not a TOTAL failure. Especially when it's doing well in America.
