On the Sega & PlayStation versions of this thread I posted both numbers from The Magic Box and japanltdrankings, unlike its competitors which launch prior to 1996, the N64 didn't had that problem of unreported legs of its earlier games, here it was just the lackluster software sales of the systems as not that many games reached Famitsu's Top 30, there are however unreported legs for several N64 titles, still to make it fair with the Saturn and PS1, the N64 gets its Magic Box chart.

Holy batsh*t DS! O.O

Nice compilation. The PlayStation ones too. Too bad you couldn't include the NES, SNES and GameBoy. Those home consoles were the real beasts in Japan .
