DoA4 sells more than any other Xbox game ever in Japan...
...and is still beaten into 13th place in the sales charts:
“Dead or Alive 4 didn't crack the top ten, selling something like 60,000 copies and coming in at #13. Disappointing, sure, but the game has sold better than any other Xbox title in Japan. Ever. Personally, I *heart* DoA 4, and think the game is the 360's first truly enjoyable experience. Think Crecente agrees with me on that. If there's anything to be learned from the DS sell-out, it's that folks will shell out and buy the system... as long as there's exceptional software there. People buy systems to play games on, not games to play systems on.”

Yeah, saw this on Kotaku, too. Not surprising given how the DS has sold there.
Have a feeling MS will do better over there when the RPGs come out. And if they manage to grab Square-Enix, it should do for them what FF7 did for Sony.
If they grab Square-Enix and FF7 the console market, I will cry myself to sleep each night until I die.
Err, I don't mean them buying it, if that's what you are worried about. I meant securing the rights to the games for the 360, which it is rumored that Square is in free-agent mode for the next-gen consoles.
No.. No.. I mean, who knows if Square will get in bed with 360 and start making Final Fantasys or something for the system. :/
