The sales figures for the week of October 3rd, show that recently released Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days has moved an impressive 265,181 units in North America during its first week of release! This figure is short of the Japanese first week figures for the game (292,103), but is still quite spectacular, and that number will most likely only continue to grow as the Christmas season approaches.

This is also a perfect time to announce that 358/2 Days has now officially released in PAL countries! It's only been two short years since the game was announced at TGS, and already its in the fans' hands! We hope you all feel the wait was worth it, and want you to look forward to KHInsider's upcoming review of the game.

Thanks to forum member Rakushīnu for alerting us to the find!
