Game sales experienced a rather large increase in Japan last week, even though there was no special occasion/holiday. So what happened here?

The rise can be attributed to three factors. Consumers were spending more prior to a 3 percent increase in consumption tax starting on April 1, many Japanese schools were holding a spring vacation, and gamers were receiving payments from Japanese companies, which usually take place on the 25th of each month.

Retro City Rampage: DX seems to be doing very well for Vblank Entertainment.

In its first month, the 3DS version has already managed to outsell the Xbox Live Arcade release. That’s despite launching a year later on Nintendo’s portable and only in North America initially.

Vblank tweeted out the sales news a short while ago:

BLOK DROP U wasn’t all that pricey to begin with, coming in at $2. Guess more people decided to jump in at $1 though!

Capcom is revising its operating income forecast from 12 billion yen to 10 billion yen. For the fiscal year, the company’s net income forecast has also been slashed from 6.8 billion yen to 3.3 billion yen. That’s about a 50 percent drop.

Why the negative forecasts from Capcom? The company’s Mobile Contents business and PC Online business are to blame, with Monster Hunter Frontier specifically affecting the latter.

However, it’s not all bad news for Capcom. Sales are expected to rise from 97 billion yen to 101.5 billion yen. Monster Hunter 4 is also experiencing strong sales and the pachislot title Monster Hunter Gekka Raimei has been “highly successful”.
