Soonerman, why did you limit it to ten games?

And why did you focus solely on consoles?

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=87629

This larger, more complete list paints a very different picture.

Nearly everyone else in this thread seemed to be focusing on consoles.  At least he mentioned handhelds.

And he's the first person to put up a list that shows a hint of non-bais.  While I still say the view of which 'side' is winning (western developers or 'Japan') is entirely subjective and based more on your views of where your favorite games come from more than sales or critic scores, his list at least puts the topic into perspective without any side having a clear advantage.

However, I would like to point out, if the same list was redone, but handheld games were thrown into the mix with console games, you'd pretty much see nothing but Nintendo Wii and DS games on the list.  Hence why I think everyone is trying to focus on only console games in this thread, to give their respective 'western' argument a chance.  Since they focus on the PS3 and 360.

Which makes me wonder why you aren't mentioning PC.

...We don't have sales data on PC, is why?

The point of me linking that list was to force everyone to look at the elephant in the room for any sales discussion, which is that Nintendo alone dominates the Hell out of pretty much every Western developer mentioned so far.
