Look what we have here, a Xbox 360 game making Japan's weekly top video game sales charts. Who would have thought? Want to know something even better? Gears of War is that game that came in at number seven in total sales this week. Remember, we reported earlier that Gears was selling out in Japan, but now we have proof that the game did indeed move units. The Japanese actually buying a western Xbox 360 game ... are we living in an alternate universe? We're going to have to sit down now, too much change in Japan makes our stomachs queasy.Also, the article that displays this week's Japanese sales numbers is in Japanese. But you can still read Gears of War placed neatly in the number seven column.

1. I'm pretty sure Microsoft Japan is slapping their heads wondering what the heck that country is thinking... Do they want Western games? Eastern games? Both?
What a confusing country! :P I can see why Microsoft is having trouble there.
