   Looks like a legit research for the most part, but .. Wii owners prefer RPGs? Wat?! The most successfull RPG on the Wii in Japan is only the 14th best selling game on the system (that, if you consider DQ Swords an RPG).

   I can believe that PS3 owners prefer action games, however, as top 3 most successfull PS3 games in Japan are all action games.

This is what's making me wonder as well. If there's so many RPG fans on Wii, why don't they buy them?

Because most of them are niche and wouldn't have sold on other systems. The good sized series like DQ and Tales have sold well (and these are spinoffs!). The Wii just needs more of those type of games, and you can't criticize it for not being able to sell smaller games. MH3, DQ X, Tales of Graces, SW3, etc. are going to build a really good Japanese/RPG fanbase on the Wii, there's no doubt about that.

Eh, they sold alright. And that's only relative to RPGs in previous generations and this generation.

If Japanese Wii owners truly prefered RPGs, then why haven't they bought them? There has been a very, very small amount released on Wii, and the best selling couldn't break into the Wii's top ten.
