I crossed out titles that won't make the year you listed them in, added a title we are expecting for Xbox 360, and crossed out titles the Japanese have no interest in.  All of a sudden the lists look more even.

Sorry, but those PS3 games you crossed out because "the Japanese have no interest in" will sell a lot more than some of those 360 games you failed to cross out. Why do you think Japan is interested in Halo, but not Resistance?

I meant to cross our Halo not underline it.

Agarest Senki? That will be lucky to sell 10k units. Japan has far more interest in the FPS you crossed out than this game. Also, why cross out Motorstorm, which sold 60k for the previous installment, but leave Forza, which only sold 30k last time?

Damn.

BKK2 pwned Starcraft.  I'll make the changes in the list to reflect what Japan gamers will care about.

Xbox 360 Japan 2008
November - Agarest Senki: Reappearance, The Last Remnant (Timed)
December - Fable II

Xbox 360 Japan 2009
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Ninety-Nine Nights II, Halo 3: Recon, Forza Motorsport 3, Ninja Blade, Cry On

PlayStation 3 Japan 2008
October - SOCOM: Confrontation, LittleBigPlanet
November - Resistance 2, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, Way of the Samurai 3, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm
December - White Knight Chronicles

PlayStation 3 Japan 2009
Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, The Last Remnant, Yakuza 3, Demon's Souls, Killzone 2, Quantum Theory

I think PS3 wins.

You remove Forza which sold tremondously well at the time relative to userbase, but keep Motorstorm which sold poorly?  Then you keep GT5 which is all but confirmed not to be coming out next year?

Self ownage?

MotorStorm has sold over 3.5 million to date. Granted, 500k+ of that probably came from bundles.

Also, aren't the current rumors that Turn 10 is working on PGR5 rather than Forza 3?

And I still don't understand why Cry On is on that list.

Motorstorm sold 3.5 million in Japan?  And a lot more of that then 500k is bundles.  America AND Europe remember?

I believe there are competing rumours.

Because last we heard it is due in 2009.
