Big in Japan Feb. 14-20: Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Catherine

@The_Blademaster Keep up witht he news, game is releasing in N-A in July You can see it on the game official page on gamespot too and even on that page if you scroll up

@hewoks The development team already stated that they are not planning on releasing it over seas. What are you talking about?

Charts like that are the reason a lot of japanese game dont see the day on x360. Now the fact that Catherine beats MVC3 by that much, really surprised me, I hope the hype is real. Just learning today that It is getting a release in N-A on both Ps3 and X360, I'm already sure to buy it.

@monson21502 Because in Japan adoption of HD TVs is slow and most gamers are teenagers. Parents don't want them hogging their only TV and portable systems allow for easy multiplayer experiences.

Right after Atlus said its not coming overseas.....BOOM!!!! http://catherinethegame.com/ Now the question is, how will they censor it?

how in the world is psp and ds still selling????

No casual crap in that list at long last.

PsP "cough" I mean Date Sim system for those japanese folks...

It hurtS me to say this, but Japanese sale charts are becoming more and more pathetic. Seriously, the top ten has fewer and fewer overall sales, and keep they only become more and disparate. I do enjoying learning possible games that may be released later on in the West. Other an that, the Japanese VG industry current affairs makes me more sad than happy (consistency, game genres, sales of native and foreign games, x360, PS3, J-developers, etc...).

Its good to see Catherine has sold well. Which means a higher possiblity of Persona 5 being a PS3 game (and hopefully a 360 game for Xbox faithfuls).

i think catherine is a very interesting game. hope this game will get ported. will buy for sure

Am I the only one who thinks Catherine looks like an interesting game?

wow this was a great month for the x360 Japan, 2 games on the charts that must be a record or something 7. Catherine / Atlus / X360 / 21,936 8. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 / Capcom / X360 / 13,779 Bravo

@wiidsduelpack haha, oh wow. It's funny that you would even compare them that said, dead space is a simplistic shooter, that attempts a horror element, but isn't scary Bioshock is so-so, but easily one of the most overrated games through the last ten years. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a japan-fanboy, but what you said is preeettyyy damn silly

@ wiidsduelpack Dude, they are completely different games in completely different genres, there's no proper way to compare them, so don't make blind assumptions.

This game looks ridiculous. No mention of gameplay or anything like it... Just sheep and boobs. Get a life.

Jeez, dem PSP sales...

Dead Space and Bioshock are probably better than Catherine. Japan is so far behind the West

Not surprised Catherine to be honest :? Thought read Atlus have said "No Catherine For Foreigners, its to stay a Japanese only release" Sengoku Musou 3 (Samurai Warriors 3) for PS3 I want :D hope it comes out, outside of Japan.

I did read a article about Catherine in a Game Informer magazine. It looked interesting, and is supposed to be a little edgy, so it would be nice to see it make it's way to the states.

@seansss WTF? Are you serious?C'mon man!

The WIi is long gone. No title can save it now. PS3 will win.

Sad to know that the PSP continues to dominate in Japan yet Square Enix continues to ignore giving the platform a Dragon Quest game.

Wow PSP Go out sold XBOX 360!!

Please Atlus.....Catherine to NA....please.....until i saw the 360 version didn't sell well. I can always hope though.

ds lite's sales are getting low lol

looking at the top ten every were elts in the world have not hurd any news on getting them games ;[

...Breasts and sheep....fascinating..

Very excited about Catherine. I just hope Atlus can spare us Western gamers some misery and announce a Western release date soon.

Xbox 360 sold over 2000 units! We are slowly adopting the Japanese market! Once they join Xbox Live they will be hooked!Seriously, it is sad to see how little of a impact the American brewed console has over there. Microsoft won't give up though, and they will continue to press the issue, I just don't know that they will ever be able to get a foot hold in that region.

Catherine seems very interesting. I hope this title gets a great rep from word of mouth just like Demon's Souls did & makes its way over here in the states. That'll b the only way it'll make its way over here.

@nejixx As i stated before, Atlus just announce that there is no plans to bring Catherine to the US or Europe.

Only if Catherine would come out in the US

that will change next week today 3ds launched

Catherine must be a good RPG. I've not familar with the source material. So it would be safe to say that this game will not make it to the U.S.A. To Japanese for the west to get the story.

Wow, that "Catherine" looks like crap- really, how did it sell so well?

japan has very diverse taste in gaming. why can't people accept this? I'm america and all we ever play over here and gets the most advertisement is another lame sports game/call of duty clone.

glad to see atlus made some money off catherine. shame the 360 version didn't sell well but what do you expect the ps3 version already had the demo out and atlus fans usually buy games on the ps2 or ds. i doubt that many own a 360 when this is what their 2nd game thats not even part of a series released on there?

@ChaosDynasty thats because they lowered the price. why do you think the psp is up in sales? because they had a price drop. price drops + bundles = huge sales

Atlus >> Square Enix

Sheep and breast falling. What in the world ????

Glad to see a smaller game doing better than a big title. If its this successful its only a matter of time before 4c makes an english version!!!

LBP2 wasn't a big hit in Japan.

sorry sagameister3, Atlus just announced they have no plans to release Catherine to NA or Europe. Kind of a disappointment for me as well.

so australia will never see catherine
