As excited I am to say the Japanese software sales figures for the week of February 19 to February 26, 2012 have been released! This is thanks to analytics company Media Create, who keeps track of how well digital entertainment items, such as video games, sell in Japan.
Below are the top 20 games and their sales figures. As you can see, Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations sold a big 65,758 copies for the PS3 in just 4 days on the market! That means it sold an average of 16,439 copies a day! That’s a slight improvement over Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 (PS3) which sold 63,941 copies in it’s first week. The PS3 exclusive Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm sold 43,268 copies in its first week at Japanese retailers, so in comparison to that, it is a huge improvement. Xbox 360 figures are not currently available as it was not a top 20 seller in Japan between February 19-26.
