The virus is spreading and Japan is about to be overrun by zombies...in a manner of speaking. The newly-launched Resident Evil 5 took the Japanese gaming scene by storm from March 2nd to the 8th. The PS3 version tops the chart, while the Xbox 360 version came in at third, selling nearly 400,000 copies combined.

Here's the top ten in software sales by Enterbrain, which is almost identical to Media Create's list, with the exception of the 10th. Since this is in Japan, the games go by their Japanese monickers.:

Biohazard 5 (PS3) - 320,000
Seventh Dragon (DS) - 82,000
Biohazard 5 (Xbox 360) - 79,000
Shin Sangoku Musou: Multi Raid (PSP) - 68,000
Ryu ga Gotoku 3 (PS3) - 57,000
Mario and Luigi RPG 3 (DS) 43,000
Aibou DS (DS) - 33,000
Super Robot Taisen Z Special Disc - 29,000
Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP The Best) (PSP) - 23,000
Wii Fit (Wii) - 19,000

It's also good to see that the Japanese are as crazy about Dynasty Warriors right now as I am, with Strikeforce remaining in the top ten at fourth. And clearly, they still love Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP The Best) - that title has been playing around the top 20 of the charts for months now.

that would suck, shouldn't take anymore than 1/2 a year to subtitle a game.

Anyways, I have never played any of the other yakuza's, I just like the change in environments....

Too many games are set in North American type settings....I like games with different flavour.....and since they are not making Shenmue anymore, gotta hope for Yakuza to bring Japan to my livingroom...
