And, it seems very landslide-ish in favor of Nintendo games. Not a single XBox360 made teh top 20. I think one more year and Wii software sales will surpass 360 sales by a considerable margin. I'll guess 40 one million sales for software on XBox360, and 45 one million software sales for Wii. |
IN JAPAN... Did you miss that part in the link?
Oh and here's a copy and paste from a previous post I made where the topic turned to Japan:
"DS owns Japan not the Wii. As for 3rd parties in Japan here're some numbers on how the top 15 publishers are doing in Japan with their Wii games (chart is from NeoGAF, numbers are from Media Create LTD up until December 2nd, 2007):
Publisher Games Total Median |
| 1 Nintendo 17 8 294 000 487 882 |
| 2 Namco-Bandai 10 658 000 65 800 |
| 3 Square-Enix 1 477 000 477 000 |
| 4 Capcom 4 266 000 66 500 |
| 5 Konami 5 221 000 44 200 |
| 6 SEGA 6 216 000 36 000 |
| 7 Hudson 7 199 500 28 500 |
| 8 Takara-Tomy 2 136 000 68 000 |
| 9 MMV 3 82 000 27 333 |
| 10 Koei 5 81 000 16 200 |
| 11 Tecmo 2 76 000 38 000 |
| 12 Ubisoft 3 58 000 19 333 |
| 13 Banpresto 1 56 000 56 000 |
| 14 AQ Interactive 1 53 000 53 000 |
| 15 E.A Japan 5 52 000 10 400 |
Now looking at those numbers does anyone really think Japan will influence how Western developers like E.A. and Ubisoft plan their games? Seeing numbers like those and realizing that the Wii will likely be the dominant console in Japan is probably what's influencing companies like Capcom for example to focus on games that cater specifically to North American and European audiences rather than just bringing Japanese games to them. Capcom even said at their Gamer's Day this year that they're seeing sales growth in North America and Europe and shrinking in Japan."
