sounds like a pretty weird set of parameters. clearly it's not the first western title. you should change the title to first western-published title, otherwise the title is indeed inaccurate.

at any rate, it was bound to happen at some point. i'm just glad it wasn't call of duty or sth.

Alright, its fixed.

Its a parameter because the Japanese tend to only buy games developed/published by Japanese companies, western publishers/developers can only find a fraction of the success the Japanese do, something like Crash (the first one especially) wouldn't ve sold nearly as it it did if it hadn't the SCE logo on the box, had it been published by, say, Activision its unlikely it'd sold 300k, that's what makes GTAV success so special.

got it. actually i think framing it that way makes it seem like an even bigger accomplishment, no?
