@Gorgory :
Well first there aren't 13 but 12 third party games that reached 100k in Japan on PS3 this year. Then if you look at the list : MGS4, DMC4, Yakuza Kenzan, GTA 4, DBZ Burst Limit, Winning Eleven 09, Valkyria Chronicles, Soul Calibur 4, Pro Yakyû Spirits 5, Samurai Dou 3, Disgaea 3, Armored Core for Answer.

MGS3 sold 831k, DMC3 sold 288k, Yakuza 2 sold 747k, GTA 3 sold 407k, DBZ SM sold 758k, Winning Eleven 10 sold 1.05M, Soul Calibur 3 sold 131k, Pro Yakyû Spirits 4 sold 188k, Samurai Dou 2 sold 226k, Disgaea 2 sold 150k, Armored Core 3 sold 229k.

So all of these games are sequels of games that sold more than 131k, so that would have been really disappointing if they didn't reach 100k.

Now look at the Wii list : Deca Sporta, Tales of Symphonia 2, Mario & Sonic at Olympic Games, Family Trainer, Family Ski, One Piece, Furai no Shiren 3.

None of them are sequels of anything big (if anything at all), except for Tales of Symphonia.
