Japan gobbles up Professor Layton as we watch with jealousy (sales)

While we still wait for our first foray into the Professor Layton series, folks in Japan are enjoying the sequel to Professor Layton and the Curious Village, while Level 5 enjoys some massive sales. In its first day, Professor Layton and the Devil's Box is reported to have sold 200,000 copies in Japan. Not too shabby for first day sales at all (and by "not shabby" we mean "pretty damn awesome"). Considering that the current apple of Japan's eye (Dragon Quest IV) sold a rumored 360,000 copies on its first day, Professor Layton's sales seem pretty impressive.All this news, of course, is only more torture for those of us waiting to play the first game. We know you feel our pain.

Those are pretty good first day sales.
I expect, at least, 400k for the whole week (Shipment was 700k).
