    On Friday, we reported that Japan wasn't exactly kookoo for Virtua Fighter 5. To put things into perspective, Japanese game blog Ore Teki Game Sokuhou @ Katana points out the following:

    • February 8th, 2007
    • 600,000 PS3s
    • Virtua Fighter 5 Copies Sold: 30,000
    • December 29th, 2005
    • 80,000 Xbox 360s
    • Dead or Alive 4 Copies Sold: 60,000

    Not exactly a system seller. (That, dear readers, should be the upcoming Gundam Musou!)

    In other related Virtua Fighter 5 disaster news, the Mainichi News reports that Sega's slick VF 5 joystick is faulty. Sales of it have ceased, and refunds are being offered. Sega is investigating the issue. Brian Ashcraft
