Phoenix Wright – er, Ace Attorney 4 scores 500,000+ in one week

Capcom must be really happy. Their PR joyfully trumpets that Gyakuten Saiban 4 was able to ship more than 500,000 units in its first week of release in Japan. If it will repeat that kind of success in the US… if it ever comes to the States, Capcom will then become really happy.

And I guess at some point we should start calling it Ace Attorney rather than Phoenix Wright. After all, it ain’t Phoenix you’re playing now, right? (Object all you want, the judge is taking five…)

The PR ends with “As always, Capcom will continue to strive to produce great original games…” and Ace Attorney definitely qualifies. Yeah, more games like this.  Of course, if this game inspires a deluge of applications to law school, heaven help human civilization after.
