| Diomedes1976 said: That Top 20 is the Top 20 of Famitsu ,not the top twenty of the PS3 users as you would like it to be .Second the console doesnt cost 600 in Japan .Eight out of the Top 20 is a impressive number and when these games start to appear the word of mouth and the sales will increase dramatically .
On other note it is funny to hear some nintendo fans repeat all the Nintendo franchises that didnt help the N64 and the Cube to compete as "proofs " that the lineup of Nintendo is superstrong and will obliterate the competition .Those games sell to a determinate market ,the Nintendo fans that have followed those franchises and that are already buying the console . |
Lots of games have made it into the top 20 games in Famitsu only to sell at unimpressive rates when released (Resident Evil 0) and most of the major releases of the past few years (Brain Training, Nintendogs, and Animal Crossing) sold tons of games and systems without ever making the list. The list gives results similar to posting a poll on a major gaming site and does not represent the views of the majority of gamers.
On your note about Nintendo, most of these games that have been listed by Nintendo fans have a history of excellent reviews and selling Millions of games on unpopular systems; Mario Kart (as an example) has sold more copies than every PS2 except for the following (on a system with 1/5 the userbase):
| Name | Console | Publisher | Japan | America | Others | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas | Take 2 | 0.41 | 7.89 | 6.58 | 14.88 |
| | Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec | Sony | 1.89 | 7.11 | 5.84 | 14.84 |
| | Grand Theft Auto: Vice City | Take 2 | 0.47 | 8.20 | 5.53 | 14.20 |
| | Grand Theft Auto 3 | Take 2 | 0.36 | 6.55 | 4.69 | 11.60 |
| | Gran Turismo 4 | Sony | 1.09 | 2.49 | 4.52 | 8.10 |
| | Final Fantasy X | Square | 3.02 | 2.74 | 2.19 | 7.95 |
I'm amazed at how hypocritical you're ... You hype Killzone as a system seller even though it comes from an amazingly average game that sold very poorly yet fail to acknowlege the strenght of games with far greater ratings and sales histories.
