50k in 3 Days? VF5 is looking good in Japan.

VF5 was out for 2 days in some places and 3 days in others in Japan and hit #1 on the list. Take next week's sales, divide by 2 and you'll get a rough estimate (a little less) of the first week of VF5's Japanese sales. It'll probably be over 100k, that number looks familiar right? Yeah if you noticed DOA4 sold a little over 100k in Japan....in the past year and a half. I dont know about how you guys look at numbers, but coming from a business student who does math daily:

100k in 7 days > 100k in 450+ days

Just a link to clarify the release time:

So please, please stop comparing the sales of the two.  Whether it's due to M$' low userbase in Japan or not, VF5 is selling much better there.  I haven't played either games, the only fighting games I play are the Tekkens and SSB.  According to Famitsu DOA4 was a better game than VF5 is, which could very well be true, don't ask me, I'm just talking about sales figures here.   

Someone will come in here with some fuzzy math for you...

I mean, since Keith Courage and the Alpha Zones sold a lot of copies for a smaller TurboGrafx16 userbase, that means it's better than Super Mario Brothers 3, right? The percentage of TG16 owners that have KC is more than the percentage of the NES userbase that owns SMB3...

So based on that percentage, am I right, or what?

When lemmings bragged about the sales of Dead Rising, cows responded with "but teh good sales are because teh Xflop 1.5 doesn't have any other good games". Just thought I'd point that outMass_Effect

It could be a valid point, but cows think differently now that VF5 is selling well
