Xbox On Japanese Top 10

[Bond]

News out of Japan for Xbox isn't usually good, the daily sales charts are usually nothing to write home about on the Xbox front, but today seems to have taken a turn, perhaps a turn for the better. In todays daily software sales charts for Japan, both From Software’s Murakumo and Crazy Taxi 3 were able to grab spots on the top 10 by taking the 3rd and 7th spots respectively. Of course, while Murakumo wasn’t able to touch Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure 5 for PlayStation 2, the top title, it was able to surpass Super Mario Sunshine, a game that took home 4th place. While these games aren’t likely to stay on the charts long, it’s certainly a breath of fresh air for those that have had to read up on nothing but negative Japanese Xbox news.

Sorry I couldn't find a more independent source for this, reason being is that they probably translated it from Japanese to English. But I'll look around...

Able to surpass Mario, considering it's a newer game, and this is a daily sales chart.

At least now XBox fanboys can go around saying XBox beat Mario!, XBox beat Mario!(complete with annoying child sounding replays of that)

If I was Mario fan, I'd be a little more worried that I'm getting my ass whooped by a character named Jojo.

Jojo? My mind is shot and can't remember. But it sounds familiar.

Why? It's a daily sales chart. Mario have already sold over 400,000 copies. 400,000 copies is a hell of a lot if you compare it to home many Gamecube systems are actually sold. My point is a lot of Gamecube owners already have Mario.

Why would anyone be concearned that JoJo is beating Mario, after Mario's been out for a week? You only buy a game once, and a lot of people bought Mario the first weekend.

there's nothing wrong with JoJo!

Who does Jojo think he is anyway? Dominating the sales charts and all...

I feel sorry for poor Mario.

I especially like the '' after the 'I feel sorry for poor Mario'

if anything, it rubs salt into the wounds

Oh, it wasn't even directed at you Stu. We're cool with each other now, even though we have duked it out like Ali/Fraser in the past

Well, I dont think it actually outsold mario. I mean, it was reported that mario sold out in the first 2 hours, or 4 days or whatever. Second shipment would normaly come out a week later which is the same day as the sales chart, but not the sale date of mario. How much can you sell with no - few games left?
