Everybody's Golf 5 Sells (150k) on first day in Japan

Everybody's Golf 5 is off to a strong start in Japan. The game has already sold more than 150K on its first day release. A total of 300 copies were shipped out. Many stores in Japan are reporting that , they have already sold out of the number of shipments they received.

I believe that! Hot Shots Golf is a premier game and should sell well. Now bring it to the US! please

[Marceles]

I can't wait to hear how much the PS3 bundle sells in Japan :-O

[TriggerHappy]

Off to a strong start. This might just outsell Gundam which sold like crazy in Japan.

The game already had over 300K preorders and now 150k sold.

[timmyp53]

[novaIS350]

The animation and style is quirky, but the gameplay is still top-notch. Can't wait for the NA localization; until then, back to Hot Shots Tennis.

[shysun]

it's a really fun game,it wont disappoint you!;)

[krackchap]

this game will end up selling more than mosou, sales are good ,but this weeks japanese hardware sales will be interesting,will this cause a temperory spike or permanent spike in japan,time will tell.

[AznSniper]

This will likely be the best selling PS3 game in Japan for now.

[Meus Renaissance]

I will never understand this market. Never.

[VaeVictus]

For the most part, I'll agree, but Hot Shots Golf is a lot of fun. I enjoy that by far the most of golf games. Otherwise, I'll totally agree. They like some crazy games.

[hellomrhieu]

i would imagine it is vice versa for them :P

[gunnerforlife]

i do wonder if the ps3 sales r gone go up for this game it looks like it can be a system seller well in japan at least

[Odion]

I am with Meus Interpretation, i just can't understand why a cartoony golf game is such a big hitter in Japan.

Of course the popularity of Buzz in Europe also boggles my mind.... and the Wii

[Premonition]

You think this game is big just wait till Monster Hunter comes out.

[tmax]

Anybody know ETA for the rest of us, this is going to be a cool game, demo has great game play.

[kingboy]

Now,i hope it helps move a few ps3 units

[THE_JUDGE]

I don't know the Japanese market too well so it will be interesting to see how many bundles are sold.

[bung tickler]

hmm state side tiger woods take the crown for real golf and mario golf seems to do it for anyone else... but what ever floats their boats over thier in japan...

[Jamaicangmr]

Damn! and this is only day 1 sales? Congrats Sony, congrats indeed...

[Depressed Mode]

Behind the cartoonish graphics lies a very solid golf game. This is easily my favorite golf series around. It's good to see those sales, I imagine it is selling quite a few systems as well.

[SIX]

one of my favorites for the PSP. I can't wait for this one

[SmokeyMcBear]

never really was into golf games, but the early days of the psp were sparce, i played need for speed and this game, non stop, I loved this game on the psp, solid fun game, no question. It can only be better on the ps3, seems like a good buy.

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

You think this game is a seller. Monster Hunter for the ps3 is gonna do at least 500 k first day....thats system sales ant the game will do about 700 k.....I will be getting monster hunter for my ps3 whenever it comes to the states that game was the best online game for the best

[DiLeCtioN]

this game is fun i downloaded it off the PSN store and i loved it.. a bit weird cus i dont even like golf.
Soccer/football FTW

[The Wood]

Heavenly sword is here

[JIN KAZAMA]

this game. This game is absolutley incredible. The gameplay is superb, and the fun factor is insane. Dont let the cortoony look fool you, its a very technical game. My friends and I have spent countless ours playing this, and online was fun too with hot shots golf FORE! Every PS3 owner should get this, and it easily kills that whack ass game "Tiger Woods Golf" by EA which is a whack ass company.
I cant WAIT for this game, it so much fun!

[Lord Anubis]

as expected.

Now you guys got to wait for october.

[Sevir04]

You seem to bash. now that you have 5 bubbles suddenly you wanna start mouthing off even more. this game is great. one of the best i've played and though it's quirky it's fun and wow factor are beyond any of the retoric and broken golf games that EA tries to pass under the sly as Premmier golf game... Please

Back on Topic. This game rocks the demo is incredible on the PSN and believe me it's unparalleled fun. this game beats the visor, Shirt, pans, boxers, shoes and socks, and even the sweat tiger woods PGA tour.

and when my dad played the the demo he was freakin hooke don it for ages. this is a must buy for me, and a total pick up and play game. if you dont have the demo people create a Japk PSN and get this thing it totally PWNs the LIFE out of EA's embarrassing trash heap of a wanna be Golf game. behind this cartoony ficade is one strong and tight gameplay mechanics that hit the Golfing swing to a perfect "Tee"

good stuff indeed

[crippler666]

This game is looking so good. The others were pretty cool (I hope that they put in a crazy golf course again).

I don't mind Tiger Woods, but with the taunts when you play multi player, this is real entertainment.
