After almost 5,000 years of civilized culture (preceded by 25,000 years of hunter-gatherer triflings), the island of Nihon-koku — ‘Japan’ to you lazy round-eyes — may soon sink into the ocean or be horribly destroyed by some kind of hellish firestorm.
Recent Japanese sales recordsare out and in accordance with ancientharbingers of doomprophecy,Halo 3has topped aPokémontitle for the highest selling game in all of Japan.
To quote a completely fictional prophetic haiku:
When Microsoft topsNintendo’s tiny creatures,Nippon shall perish.
Considering the entire thing was written in the blood of a sparrow, you sorta have to believe it,y’know?
Hit the jump for the week’s sales data (written in the blood of Mark from Accounting).

[UPDATE:Haiku made evenlesshistorically accurate to appease you pedantic bastards.]
