I wonder how RE5 will do next week.
RE5 Japan's first day sales - PS3 4:1 360

Resident Evil 5 First day sales of Resident Evil 5 are in from Japan. The game sold four times as much on the PlayStation 3.

According to Ameblo.jp, Resident Evil 5 sold 278,000 on its first day in Japan. There's a very good chance the game could beat Yakuza 3's first week sales - the game sold 232,000 on its first day.

The split is significant, the PlayStation 3 sold 222,000 copies, with the Xbox 360 behind at 56,000.

We knew that Famitsu's reports might have been a bit too good to be true, when some retailers experienced equal sales of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions.

The Xbox 360 has managed to better the proportion of sales it achieved with Devil May Cry 4, where first day sales were at 140,000 for the PlayStation 3 and only 30,000 for the Xbox 360.

What's more incredible is that Resident Evil 5 has beaten launch day sales of Resident Evil 4. The game sold 117,000 copies for the Gamecube in January 2005 and 145,000 copies for the PlayStation 2 in December 2005. Resident Evil 5 has surpassed that combined number.

Not only has the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 combined sales managed to best both, the PlayStation 3 managed the feat all by itself.

Here's another tasty statistic. The Xbox 360 version of Resident Evil 5 outsold the Nintendo release of Resident Evil 4 (27,000) and Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles (53,000). Oh yes, the Xbox 360 isn't doing that bad at all in Japan.

We eagerly await the full week sales.

LOL, DiEMOS didn't read the ordering very well ;)

Two weeks in a row now the PS3 has stayed above the DSi - Largely thanks to Yakuza 3 then Resident Evil 5 though.

M-Create numbers usually get update late on Thursday American time. Anything before then is most likely Famitsu or other numbers. Fairly close this week though.

Final Fantasy XIII Demo Ignites PS3 Sales

Final Fantasy. Man, this franchise is so damn enormous, that even its demos manage to move dozens of thousands additional hardware units in a week. A demo! A few days ago, you may recall that we reported the PlayStation 3 sold about 16.5k systems in Japan for the week ending April 12th. That number was high enough to make the PS3 the best selling home console in Japan, beating out even the Nintendo Wii, which sold a paltry 13k systems.

Well, with the Blu-Ray release of Final Fantasy Advent Children, you may also recall that we reported 70,000, out of the 100,000 copies sold, were the ones bundled with the FFXIII demo. And how many of those 70k also bought a PS3 with their FFXIII demo? Close to 40,000! According to retail tracker Sinobi, they record sales of the PlayStation 3 for last week tallying to a total of 57k units! For a demo!

We're still curious to see Famitsu's and Media Create's retail results, as they cover a larger scope of Japan's retail world, which may possibly show us a number for PS3 sales that's higher than 57k. For that, we'll have to wait until tomorrow afternoon. Seriously...a demo! Imagine the colossal explosion when the actual game hits this December in Japan?
