As much as I'm happy to see God of War dominating, as much I'm happy that Yakuza 6 made it.

Japanese game are very popular in France and the country the just behind japan for anime popularity... A french guy living in Switzerland...

I had read somewhere that France was the first market for Japanese goods (outside of Japan) so yeah.
About Yakuza 6 it's even more surprising given the fact there is no French subtitles, which is crazy btw. I'm boycotting it because of it. I just can't tolerate it anymore. Will surely get it at discount though since he seems really good.

If only Sony had released two more editions of God of War, they could have had all five spaces.
i think if the sales chart includes the digital edition it will probably be like this..

  1. God Of War [Physica]
  2. God Of War [Digital]
  3. God of War [Digital Deluxe Edition]
  4. God Of War Collector's Edition
  5. God Of War Limited Edition

Third is probably germany most of comic sales are manga too

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga_outside_Japan

70% of comics were mangas in 2007

Here in Switzerland anime culture is growing...

Japanese third party exclusivity helps Sony in Europe...

If it's getting it's own thread, doing the top 3 (top 5 for Nintendo this week for whatever reason) for each console would be nice.

Wait, the game only has English subtitles yet it still ranked, and in France of all places? Damn that's impressive.

More the game sells in west the more likely it would get Multi 5 support (So in addition of english it would have spanish, german, french and italian localization). Boycotting does the opposite. it's english only because of how niche series yakuza is.

Your messages is being heard loud and clear to not bother localizing Yakuza.

The thing is I agree with you,I have bought a lot of games that didn't have FR ST BUT both Yakuza Zero and Kiwami charted in France, and P5 also charted. We, as a market, showed clear interest in niche Japanese titles now it's time for them to show interest in us. I'm just sick of giving them excuses for their lack of French support.
What I'm afraid of is that they see that their game sells despite lacking it so they won't do any more efforts. A LOT of my friends don't have the English level necessary to enjoy them and that's a shame.

They didn't seemed to hear me when I bought Y0 and Kiwami. I'm not their bitch.

They probably lost some sales without at least french subtitle and mostg of the anime fan would probably play the game with japanese VO and french subtitle if it was possible...

It's P5 all over again, it's hard to convince people to still giving it a try.

About it's sales I don't think it affected them much that week, I'm more worried about it's legs.
