Interesting... this is the "most wanted" chart I have been following for years:

Notice how the DS has the most wanted game ;)

1	Dragon Quest IX	Square Enix	NDS
2	Final Fantasy XIII	Square Enix	PS3
3	Biohazard 5	Capcom	PS3
4	Persona 3 Fes	Atlus	PS2
5	Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots	Konami	PS3

I have also noticed there isn't really any correlation between positions in the "most wanted", and sales. New Super Mario never got very high on the charts, I think Blue Dragon was #1 for a week or two... Pokemon was nowhere near #1, etc.

Does it really make sense that "Devil May Cry 4" is at #20, where Persona 3 is at #4?

Actually, the NDS/Wii having 7/20 spots is pretty good - Nintendo games rarely show up here at all.

 Yeah, dragon quest and final fantasy won't sell at all.  Do I need to point out that 4 of those are on a playstation?  Also, it seems lack xbox...

Gundam Musou was number 1 also, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna be a smash hit.
