The Japanese love Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball!

Loads.

Posted by Staff
The serious sporting game that is Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball from Tecmo has sold very well in Japan on its first day of release, with eager punters snapping up 72,881 copies.

As it’s illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to buy the game in Japan, fake ID-wielding and big brother coaxing was enough to push the sports title - because it is a sports title, no really it is - to the all time number two Xbox game in the country.

This also makes Tecmo’s sports game the fastest selling game for Xbox ever released in Japan. Indeed, it may be one of the fastest selling sports games of all time.
