Darc Requiem said: Unless I miscounted, Nintendo platforms have 45 out of the top 50 selling games in Japan. Thats just plain crazy. Thats 90% of the list. Even if you take the DS out of the equation. The Wii has 7 games to the 5 games of the PS2,PSP, and PS3. I mean wow....just WOW. DS 38 games Wii 7 games PS2 3 games PSP 1 game PS3 1 game

I call this kind of happening the WiiDS Phenomenon. Nintendo has secured the Japan territory permanently for the rest of this generation. That is a stone cold fact. There'll be guest stars on that list, cameo appearances but for the most part that list from Japan hardware & software will remain dominated by the spectres of Wii & DS. Luckily XBox 360 is a non factor here so maybe PS3 can restore some ground in this place to be the alternative console. The rest of the world they have to contend with Wii AND XBox 360. Seeing as Europe is seemingly a more Playstation friendly country I wonder why they didn't launch there and delay another region. Almost a d@mned if you do, d@mned if you don't situation I suppose. PSP seems be rallying in the midst of the 'Tendonaut (juggernaut). It's like once PS2 finally rides off into the sunset PSP will be Sony's leading Japanese market game product. They should begin using this as a strategem. The domination game is over. It's time for them to practice survival. John Lucas
