How can the wii u top japan when the PS4 has, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Yakuza, Tales, Dynasty Warriors, Idolm@ster, Pre Evo Soccer, Deep Down, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Next Level 5 Game, Next Falcom Game

The Wii U will practically miss every big japanese game, i think it's pretty much impossible for the wii u to win japan.

What is the sum total of sales of the best-selling titles in each of those franchises in Japan? Indeed, let me do the numbers for you. Final Fantasy VIII at 3.63 million. Kingdom Hearts II at 1.12 million. Yakuza 2 at 0.84 million. Tales of Destiny at 0.83 million. Dynasty Warriors 4 at 1.13 million. Idolm@ster SP at 0.23 million. Pro Evo Soccer 6 at 1.16 million. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker at 0.96 million. Resident Evil 2 at 2.02 million. Best Level 5 game not on Nintendo console is Danball Senki at 0.39 million (perhaps you meant someone other than Level 5? Level 5 rarely releases anything on a platform that isn't Nintendo). Best Falcom game is Ao no Kiseki at 0.20 million.

In total, that's 12.51 million. To put this into perspective, Pokemon's best is at 10.22 million on its own. Mario's best is at 6.81 million (or 6.49 million if you don't want to count NES era as being too far back in time). Animal Crossing's best is at 5.33 million. Dragon Quest IX sold 4.35 million, and DQ seems to be locked to Nintendo at the moment. Mario Kart's best is at 4.12 million. Wii Sports is at 3.77 million. These are all higher than the top series you've noted, Final Fantasy.

You assert that Donkey Kong isn't a system seller in Japan. Did you bother to look into it? Donkey Kong Country sold 3.00 million copies in Japan. Even Donkey Kong Country Returns sold 1.03 million, which places it ahead of more than half of the franchises on your list.

Next time, do your research before making such grandiose claims.


Yeah, let's just forget that New Super Mario Bros U is behind New Super Mario Bros Wii , Or Pikmin 3 is selling worse then 2 or 1, or mario 3d world, being the worst selling 3d mario game to date.

And i'm not comparing the best of each franchise, i'm talking about now, no mario game will sell 6 million in japan, and we all know pokemon only sells on handhelds and as does animal crossing, and dragon quest is also on handhelds, so that completely destroys half of your figures right there, not to mention wii sports was bunlded, and it was actual sales.

Maybe you should come back with an argument that is relevent and not archaiec

 

Here is the fact, Final Fantasy Alone will outsell Any Wii U game in japan.
