Alpha, I looked up how well Resistance is doing in Japan, and I have to agree, they are pretty good numbers considering: its Japan and they don't like FPS that much and there are not that many PS3s on the market there. The game has sold 126,500 copies in Japan since it's release, which is pretty good.
I wonder, though, how well this game will do in Europe, I expect it to sell at least 500,000 copies over its lifetime there assuming the PS3 grabs hold. A lot of Resistance's sales now are not really due to the game but the number of PS3s Sony can put into the market, after all this should have been the Gears of the PS3. Hopefully in the next month or so we can get data on how many people that bought PS3s in Europe bought Resistance.
