This thread has been linked to the game 'Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball'.
From C&VG.com:
Tecmo's Xbox "sports" title, Dead or Alive Xtreme Volleyball, has rocketed to the top of the Japanese charts after impressive day one sales. The top-heavy title shifted 72,881 in its first day at retail, beating of the challenge of Armored Core 3 on PS2, which sold 67,119 units.
This makes DOAX Volleyball the fastest selling Xbox title ever in Japan, which will bring cheer to developer Tecmo, whose Dead or Alive 3 is also the biggest selling Xbox title overall in Japan, with 154,906 units sold. But to add a little perspective, this pales in comparison to the millions already shifted by Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire on GBA.
And while the shock revelation that sex sells sinks in, it will be interesting to see what impact the title will have on struggling sales of Xbox hardware in the Far East.

Hopefully this game will help lift sales of the Xbox, and with Live launched along with PSO 1+2, maybe Xbox will start to look a bit more lively over there.
Thoughts?

Turn based combat every three or four steps, yes.
*three steps, ENEMY*
*defeat ENEMY*
*take three steps, ENEMY*
*defeat ENEMY*

That's quite a big exageration
Besides, it's been decreased in volume a lot for Legends.

Frequency that should have been
Oh God.. it's not as frequent as Pokemon Red & Blue is it?
Moreso.
Vastly.
Maybe they have decresed it, but I managed 8 battles while only moving about ten steps on teh Dreamcast. And then I didn't have enough magic or health to fight anything else effectively.

Damn, I was looking forward to this game as well. Apart from that, what else can you tell me about it?
Quit your gibbering you moron
Skies of Arcadia is the best game ever. End.

Says you.
When it comes to best game ever, my vote goes to Halo. RPG wise, I'd say Secret Of Mana is my favourite of all time. Although Fable is looking a bloody strong contender for that award. :-)
