Nier Starts Poorly in Japan this Week
From VGChartz – "The drought of important software continued for a fourth week in Japan, with no games topping 50,000 units on a single platform, let alone 100,000 units. Nier from Square-Enix did top 50,000 units across PS3 and X360. It was easily the best performing game of the week.
Still, a flood of big content comes next week. There is potentially up to a million units of software sold between Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 when they arrive on PSP and DS April 29 and April 28. Preorders for Dragon Quest now stand at over 320,000, while Metal Gear has over 240,000 preorders. Super Street Fighter also has over 20,000 preorders for PS3.
Preorders continue to slowly trickle upwards for games releasing after Golden Week as well. Super Mario Galaxy 2 has about 10,000 preorders for Wii. Monster Hunter X360 has 15,000 preorders."
