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

You're a better person than I OriGin, I would have simply ignored such a ridiculous question. Anyways it's somewhat been said already but those 3rd party games in Japan are either terrible or not made for the Japanese market. There's a lot of them but many are rushed PS2 ports with horrible tacked on motion controls. Those that aren't PS2 ports still have terrible motion controls for the most part. Nintendo has had at least a year head start if not more designing games with motion controls. Most 3rd party devs seemed to ignore the Wii until the E3 mega hype. Ubisoft and EA Canada (I think it was) were the only ones who were onboard from the start so Madden 07, Red Steel, and Rayman are among the few 3rd party games with good controls at the moment, as can be seen by their decent sales in the US/Europe, but they aren't Japanese games by any stretch. Now the devs are devoting more resources and have had more time and a few tries with motion control the games will improve. As the Wii continues to own the PS3 Japanese devs will also move more Japanese games to the Wii. While true that especially for the last few generations Nintendo games have dominated on Nintendo consoles but then the N64 and GCN were owned primarily by Nintendo fanboys who naturally bought Nintendo games. At the moment the Wii has much larger share than usual of Nintendo fanboys and new gamers who only want Wii Sports and Wii Play. With the devs moving good Japanese games to the Wii more regular Japanese gamers will buy it, as more regular Japanese gamers buy the Wii 3rd party titles will do better.
