Big in Japan Apr. 26-May 2: Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2

@mwmars I wish they make a Dragon Quest game for the Xbox360!

welcome back to the charts mr x360 @ number 5,its great seeing you here

@guichan Maybe google your questions?

If this trend continues, PS2 might out sale xbox 360 in a couple of months. LOL! F!

...wish they would make another game like Dragon Quest VIII for Playstaion 3

Wow Dragon Quest games never stop coming do they.

@Dante200X Ditto.

@guichan; LOL! I can't do anything but laugh at your comment. Thanks, made my day. Some people just love to be ignorant.

Well, I supposed Japanese are more eager about 3DS that some of them stop buying DS to wait for 3DS. Still, I don't like DQ MJ. :(

I wonder what kind of idiot buy's a psp since there is a good release once a three mounths or so , I wonder what happened about some sort of project of Metal Gear for Ds , I wonder how many projects have been cancelled for those portable systems

The numbers for the PS3 are looking good and the numbers for Super Street Fighter IV are looking good as well. Keep up the good work you guys..

hideo kojima wins!

OK so the PSP has been topping the hardware charts in Japan consistently this year but still, selling 600,000+ copies of a DS game and still not topping the hardware charts. Well, it's good to see Metal Gear doing well. That means more money to Kojima to make more awesome games. I'm curious about that taboo game of his.

I have the first DGM, and it's a decent game, but I honestly don't feel that it deserves a sequel, and I have no real drive to buy and play another one on the DS. I hope it does not come stateside.

Peace Walker sure did give psp a nice boost. That's good to see.

people still buy ps2's? Is anyone else surprised as I am?

wow wii and ps3 gained this week , as did psp , its clear that wii will lead throughout this gen though

@ jb9776. japan is 3rd place behind the UK and USA, you know why? they are to stuck in their ways and think if they shun a system. it will fail everywhere. why isnt there a UK sales chart posted?

@monson21502 the reason they post the japanese numbers is because,contrary to popular beliefs, japan is a hotbed for video games. alot of american video game players don't think so but these numbers are as important as the american ones. the real question is if you're not interested in the japanese sales figures, then why do you post on the stories about them.

SSF IV at 3rd place only sold 80 thousand? Is that normal sales numbers? Does America sell this little this time of year? Anyone know?

Im happy that PSP PS3 sales continue to be healthy in japan!

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 has seldom chance of coming to the US because it was a commercial failure.

theres a dqmj2???? oh man i have to get it the first one was soo good

Wow! Game sales really show how much dominance portable handhelds have over home consoles. Which is a big reason I think as to why MS is getting stomped so badly in the east.

Good to see Sony leading the packs with the PSP and PS3. Still waiting for Birth By Sleep here in America though. SE, both the bane of my exsistance and the love of my life.

@taxonomic, , why you think nintendo is doing so well? japanese gamers love recycled junk. just look at the ds and wii.... all nintendo has to do is release a new color and they rush out and buy them like they are collecting pokemon.

"taxonomic Posted May 7, 2010 8:11 pm GMT Dragon Quest in Japan is like STAR WARS/Halo in America. Just slap the name on any piece of old recycled game garbage and you instantly sell a few million." FIXED!!

Dragon Quest in Japan is like Final Fantasy in America. Just slap the name on any piece of old recycled game garbage and you instantly sell a few million.

why doesnt gamespot dig up the numbers game sales from wal-mart and other stores that dont count in the npd usa sales. instead of showing us japan charts every week?

wooo hooo go Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 hopefully it will have more monsters then the first one

ah, love seeing psp on the top of the hardware chart

oh wow, 360 beat ds lite now they only need a spike of a little over 10 k a week to beat the dsi
