Western developers are ruling Japanese developers this gen!

Western vs. Japanese Games I've played this gen

Xbox 360

15 Japanese vs. 15 Western

* UFC Undisputed (played only 2009 thus far) and the WWE games (played 2 of them) were made by Yuke's, a Japanese developer, so I count those as "Japanese" even though these games largely appeal to the west and have an American publisher (THQ).

Wii

7 Japanese vs. 0 Western

Wiiware

1 Japanese vs. 0 Western

XBL/Indie

12 Western vs. 3 Japanese (Lumines Live, Pacman Championship Edition, Ms. Pac-Man)

Nintendo DS (do handhelds count in this discussion?)

Of DS games I beat or currently own:

14 Japanese vs. 2 Western.

Out of DS games that I've played: Who knows, lost count. But it's heavily skewed towards Japanese software.


For those who say the Xbox 360 doesn't have much Japanese software, here's a list of Japanese Xbox 360 software I own or played.

Lost Odyssey
Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection
Infinite Undiscovery
