The reason why Afrika will not sell is because it is not a world wide release. i probably would of bought this game so that my little kids can see animals on my big screen.
Good right up, Another advantage of trading games is that many people would use the price they recieve from the trades towards buying the new titles. So in a way this helps increase the sales of new games.
Also in your opinion wheres the best place to buy games in Tokyo? Im heading there later this month...I know about Akiba, but u got any stores which are ur favs?

Hark, you probably are already familiar with it, but I'd recommend the multi-storey extravaganza of Super Potato if you're retro-inclined. Otherwise, if it's new stuff you're after, Laox, Sofmap and Yodobashi branches are much of a muchness.
3. Used games are generally in such pristine condition that it can be difficult to tell which games are new and which are second-hand.
Maybe I'm Japanese, because I take care of every game I ever have. There's nothing I've sold on eBay that I wouldn't have been able to list as 'New' because you wouldn't know any different if you bought it. I don't understand how people can turn in games for trade-in that look like they've been used as a dance floor on a salsa night.
Thanks for checking out the second hand market in japan, Martin. I believe I was the one who asked about this aspect of japan, and it makes an interesting contrast to our markets in the west.
Hey guess what, Martin, I already have your next assignment (i'll be pitching my tent outside Spong HQ next, lol).
Find some japanese gamers who own 360s and find out their opinions of the 360, western 360 games, exclusives like Lost Odyssey, Xbox Live, Live Arcade, XNA etc. What's it like to be a 360 gamer in japan? Do they like the ideas MS have introduced to gaming, and would they buy an MS console again?
Add some other good 360 questions if you must. I hope you can deliver, good luck.
Hey, maybe Afrika didn't sell, because all PS3 owner are waiting to board the Capcom RE5 plane to Africa. Less cheetahs and lion picture taking, and more beating zombie villagers to death.
PS3 PokeSnap? Anyone would dodge that. Good one, Sony.
Maybe you should check Japan game sales data again?!... Just a suggestion ;)
Hey, would you look at that! In the figures posted the day after we published this article and two days after it was written Afrika jumped to second place in the software charts in Japan!
"As I write this, sales stats aren’t in from Media Create yet, but if my experience is any indication, Afrika probably isn’t top of the charts."
That was *true*. It wasn't top -- it was in second place. And:
"As a PS3 game marketed by Sony, I think it’ll fade into obscurity by the end of the month."
I'm pretty sure this will hold true, as well. If it's still in the Top Ten by the end of September, I'll write you a personal apology and send you a bouquet of carnations. OK?
