Dead Or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball had thousands of japanese
gamers queing outside game stores in the rain yesterday and we have the pics and
amazing sales figures to prove it!

Tecmo shipped 120,000 copies of the title to retailers in Japan and on the
first day of release, an amazing 72,881 japanese gamers snapped up the game.
This is especially impressive considering that there have only been around 400,000
xbox’s sold in Japan being generous with estimates. . .

The title is expected to sell out over the weekend and will hopefully be the
first Xbox game to top the Japanese charts since Dead Or Alive 3 was released
last febuary.

Tecmo (Microsoft’s greatest Japanese partner) is also creating such anticipated
titles as Ninja Gaiden, Dead Or Alive Code Chronos and Dead Or Alive 4. So,
if these sales figures are to be any indication, we could see success for Xbox
this year thanks to Tecmo!
