3rd Party Sales in Japan (360, Wii, PS3) - Top 10

HappySqurriel said: One thing to consider is which system had the "Better" or at least more anticipated titles? Maybe I don't know Japan well enough but I would suspect that Virtual Fighter, Ridge Racer and Gundam Mousou were all much bigger series than most of what has been released for the Wii so far; just consider that most of the Virtual Fighter and Ridge Racer games sold more in their first week than either of these games will sell in their first year.

I would agree that this aspect is very true - RR7, Gundam Mousou and VF5 are all VERY large sequals. The only major 3rd party game was DBZ2 - which did well. However, if the Wii's ultra-poor 3rd party sales continue in Japan, it might not bode well for *some* Japaneese devs. I am CERTAIN games like DQ will sell insane. However, it is kinda dishearenting when the top 3rd party game did less than any Nintendo game. I guess this shows where the loyalty of the Wii fanbase is in Japan.
