Its Togashi week. I expected DQ to increase 3DS hardware even when its unpredictable now. PS4 increase.

Shocked I expected DQ8 for the 3ds to sell well, hell it's national holiday whenever a port or new game is released in Japan. However I did expect square-enix to sell over half a million copies in a single week.

I imagine that campy slasher flicks aren't quite as prevalent in Japan.

SE ports always sell well, that's why they keep releasing them.

It's also censored in Japan even though it's created by Sony:

Japan’s censorship of PlayStation 4 horror game 'Until Dawn' is spectacularly bad

Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes was censored too.

Yeah, I remember that some strong content is censored to avoid a "Z" rating. And Metal Gear games are generally "D".
