| Immortal said: This year has been terrible for Japan (not trying to downplay the fantastic UK numbers here, though). I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like not a single title will be 1m+. VGC data simply doesn't go back far enough for me to find a comparably pathetic year. And this is worse by quite some margin. Add to that the effects of the Earthquake earlier in the year and I really think it's unfair to compare the two markets in a year like this. Of course, UK may be going through such a drought, too, but, to my limited knowledge, it isn't. Does anyone have UK SW numbers for 2010? |
