So Tales of Xillia in its first week in one country almost becomes the highest selling Tales game of the generation on a single platform (ToV WW sales on 360 = 560K). I'm sure if NB release it world wide It'll be the highest selling Tales game of the gen regardless of platform (ToV PS3&360=~900K). Be the first game to Tales game to crack 1 million.

Nice little PS3 boost. I'm guessing it'll be back to 30K next week, or even lower, mid 20s. As long as Americas and EMEAA hold reasonably steady PS3 should see another 200K week.

Selling 6xWii just does not compute.

Considering it sold 33k last week with no releases it'll probably do around 30k-35k

its amazing how much a JRPG sells when they actually release it on a Sony system. I wonder if the money microsoft gave them for vesperia was enough to account for the lost sales.

It's not as if the developers had much of a choice, they just followed the cash, everyone has their price.

I don't remember another week this year with so many PS3 games in the top chart... I don't think a miracle will save Wii in Japan for holidays so that it have another year lead as happened last year.

I swear, I will never understand who ponders between buying a PS2 and an X360.

The ones that don't want a RROD and the ones that bought a PS3 without compatibility to PS2 and have their old PS2 die out... Now I ponde why someone would even buy a Xbox 360 over a PS3 in america.
