Gamasutra's weekly column, "Saling The World", covers the top five sellers for every available platform in the United States, Japan, and Europe, providing an important update of sales patterns worldwide.
This week's charts, with data taken from September 9th, 2010, find Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep debuting to fast sales in North America, as Wii Party and MonHun Nikki continue to lead multiplatform sales in Japan.
Data for "Saling The World" comes courtesy of the public sales information on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and Amazon.co.jp, with sales split out for each platform and territory, and pre-orders disregarded. This results in a true sense of what games are selling worldwide on the real-time updated service, as follows:
Overall, Birth By Sleep is an important slice of the Kingdom Hearts series, and shouldn’t be missed out on if you’re looking to get into the series. Granted, some of the features and moment-to-moment gameplay is lost when it transitioned from the PSP to modern consoles. But nonetheless, one can’t deny its overall importance to the story and the impact of its mechanics and systems to the series overall.
i like it, but its just too much "friendships are the key to our power" bs.
don't get me started on them minigames lol
i think the game had tremendous potential for essential online gaming and other things. but they didnt do a whole lot with it in the remaster.
i would, however, consider it to be one of the harder games in the series, which is good
What makes Birth by Sleep’s story so engrossing isn’t that it's as a prequel, It’s the fact that it’s emotionally charged and mature.
As the decade ends, let’s look back at many of the biggest moments in the Kingdom Hearts series. From games to merchandise, there was something for every Kingdom Hearts fan to enjoy.
It deserves all the sales it's getting plus more. The PSP has been coming out with some heavy hitters lately. It's a good thing I've already beat Starcraft, now I can focus on KH:BBS and SMT: Persona 3 Portable.
it would be nice if they ported the first two to PSP, or do them like they did with the God Of War Collection for PS3.
It would be nice if this was available to go owners.
