I am completely surprised a game like Killzone 2 even broke into the top April sales in Japan.
So Killzone 2 sold 43.028 copies over its lifetime? Dude, some guy must a bought a disc broke in 3/10s.
I so want to pet that cat in the flower garden and I miss mine :( Damn cats... dying on people :(
@ithyphallus: Not in terms of April sales.
@omgCRAZY: You sure are.
@notquitedeadyet: Silver is better for the sole reason that Lugia is acquired at LV. 40 and still has Areoblast.
Oops, my Pokedex is showing!
what a huge gap between #9 and #10

@CustomFirmware:
Same here. HOPEFULLY they'll also make a remake of Yellow and Crystal down the line :D
Silver rules btw.

I checked Google Images for "Cherry Blossom Cat" thinking I wouldn't find anything, and then I could complain that there should have been a link to more. Unfortunately, I failed miserably as apparently there is plenty of Cherry Blossom Cat to go around.

Imagine the sales for the Pokemon Gold/Silver remake.
I myself will be buying both ;_;

Ah, my beloved Monster Hunter. So glad to see Monster Hunter Portable 2-G is still selling like it's crack.
Can't wait 'till June 23rd rolls around. It's the start of the North American hunting season *swoon*

@UsernameOfTheDead: sakura neko is watching you fap

You can even sell poor dungeoncrawlers, one of the more hardcore genres ever, to the casual audience if you just attach the Pokemon-name to them
Hahahahahaha!!! Monster Hunter taking over the Wii! It's just a matter of time now before North American market is taken over as well!

@Geist002: wow, i have to tell ya, i'm excited for it too, sadly I'll be away from home so i'll have to wait another full month before i can get it! bought the first monster hunter freedom today, but aparently that one is crap in comparison. (it's not TOO bad, but the load times are a bit much I'd say).
Mario & Luigi RPG3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
koof
I'm surprised to see Killzone 2 in the top 10.
