Let’s Tap debuts with weak sales in Japan

Let’s Tap debuted selling only 5,400 copies . It is obvious that Sega is selling the game in the totally wrong market, there are no penguins in Japan!
The chart started on December 15th and ended on December 21st. Let’s Tap came out on the 18th, so if my math is correct (brings up a calculator) that is four days of sales counted. So is that bad?
Two other Wii games released by Sega on the 18th also include Sonic Unleashed and Bleach: Versus Crusade. The Bleach game did a modest 15,000 copies, while the blue blur sat a bit above Let’s tap with 5,800 copies. Solution? Add Bleach characters to both games, instant sales boost.

TGS 08: Sega dominates Edge’s top 20 games at TGS
Posted by George. Filed under George, Japan, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with 7th Dragon, Bleach: Versus Crusade, Infinite Space, Let's Tap, Phantasy Star 0, Phantasy Star Zero, Sonic Unleashed, TGS 08, Yakuza 3.
Sega came into TGS to do one thing, kick ass. If you see their line up, its a pretty beefy , Edge even agrees. They posted a list of the top 20 games at TGS and Sega had more games on the list than any other publisher. When was the last time you saw so many Sega games make a list?
Here are the games that made the list (only Sega games posted):
- 20. Seventh Dragon
- 19. Infinite Space
- 14. Phantasy Star 0
- 12. Sonic UnleashedÂ
- 10. Let’s TapÂ
- 05. Bleach Versus Crusade
- 02. Yakuza 3
- Â [full list!]
Surprises? Mine was that Bleach: Versus Crusade broke into the top 5 and that Bayonetta wasn’t mentioned. I can see Yakuza 3 getting second to Resident Evil 5, due to the fact that Resident Evil 5 playable. What do you guys think?

If you haven’t seen Sega’s full TGS line up, then here it is. It appears that Sega decided not to put Prope’s game, apparently the system it will appear on is still a secret (cough Wii cough).
Hit the jump for the full list.
Sega reveals Bleach: Versus Crusade
Posted by George. Filed under George, Nintendo Wii. Tagged with Anime, Bleach: Versus Crusade.
Sega just revealed Bleach: Versus Crusade for the Nintendo Wii, the game looks a lot like the last Bleach Wii game called Bleach: Shattered Blade.
The game looks like its going to start off in the Hueco Mundo arc, that is about to air in the United States. Bleach is being run on Cartoon Network, for schedules click here.
It is unknown if this game will be released over here, but never say never.
