Formula One sells 8,000 copies in Japan on Day 1 |
Ó
Sony must be popping champagne corks as we speak. Their release of Formula One Championship Edition 2006 in Japan last December 28 was a major hit. Their green light of a release date got their game zooming ahead without any hiccups nor bumps on the road. Enterbrain just calculated the numbers, and it's estimated that the game was able to sell 8,000 copies on day one.
Seems like Japan is turning more and more into racing fans. Not just long ago, MotorStorm claimed the top spot in their sales charts. And now, they've got Formula One selling like pancakes sushi. Will the champagne overflow its success onto North America though? Well, until the game is released in Western shores next year, we can only guess. The numbers are promising though, so keep that checkered flag on the ready.

This is great, and this is just the beggining. ^ __^
Aren't 8,000 pretty low sales, compared to the other games? Now 80,000 copies are solid numbers.
is 8000 supposed to be a hit?
Lol, thats the funniest typo I've seen in a while.
I think he meant to say 80 000.
It does say 8000 on the Game Front link provided.
its just japan and 1 day! do you even know the population of japan and how foreign games dont appeal to them, 8000 is a very big hit. and to tell you frankly, japan just receive gta san andreas for ps2 last month and it didnt even reached the the 8000 sale on day 1. please take notes that its a different market before commenting.
Awesome,
I've been waiting for an F1 to deliver like this.. - can't wait for the US version!
Japan Loves Formula 1, But there game is released before it has everything. No online and other stuff
