Surprise? Well not really but the difference is amazing.

 

A Japanese gaming blog that tracks daily sales data has released a list of the top publishers in Japan (via Hachimaki) based on units sold through the end of October. Rather than a Top 10 or 20 list, the ranking includes all publishers who sold more than 100,000 units.

The number one company, by a landslide, is Nintendo. With two months remaining in the year, Nintendo has already sold nearly 13 million games in Japan, mostly for the DS (56% vs 44% for the Wii). That's more than the next three companies on the list combined.

  1. Nintendo, 12,899
  2. Square Enix, 4,642
  3. Namco Bandai, 3,933
  4. Konami, 3,237
  5. Capcom, 2,823
  6. Sega, 2,109
  7. Level Five, 1,087
  8. Koei Tecmo, 918
  9. Sony, 895
  10. Marvelous Entertainment, 358
  11. Spike, 308
  12. Hudson, 287
  13. Take Two Interactive, 278
  14. EA, 220
  15. Atlus, 206

  18. D3 Publisher, 160
  19. Microsoft, 130
  20. Arc System Works, 115
