It's weird to see that 2.5 didnt sell better then 1.5.

 

Anyway this is pretty huge!

It came at the very end of the PS3's lifetime. I'm guessing most people had moved on to the PS4.

This is excellent news, Leamax! Thanks for sharing this with us!

 

Wow, to think that 2.8 managed more sales than 1.5 and 2.5 in their beginning weeks is impressive!  I'm glad the game is getting good sales! Just imagine how well it'll sell once it releases for the rest of the world!?

 

Almost 5 more days, and the game will finally be mine! :')

I couldn't be more proud of the KH series that one of the titles has topped sales charts.

Yeah it is pretty impressive considering the fact that the PS4 has a smaller install base than the PS3. But I guesss it's mainly because of how it's close to KH3's gameplay as well as the new content.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 is 1st, Danganronpa V3 is 2nd. Two of my most anticipated games of the year are topping the charts
