I Wonder how Japanese games will chart on Amazon, now they are allowing you to Import games from Japan, and Japanese games are selling more on the West, also, Western games are selling more on Japan, will be interesting to see if Star Ocean 5, Persona 5, and i think that Dragon Quest Builders, also was confirmed for the West was not ?, those Minor Japanese games will be interesting to see in the Ranking of Amazon.

 

I Also think that Dragon Quest, had the same Potential as Final Fantasy, in the West, but they aways lock the Titles for Japan Only, this Franchise is pratically a Japan Exclusive, and sold 60+ Millions of units, could be at Final Fantasy's Level if Enix, was like Square Soft, back in the 80s, and the 90s.

I'm not sure I follow with the Japanese games affecting Amazon. Surely people ordering imports go straight to the customer, or are you suggesting that Amazon might become the middle man, so to speak?

And yes, the Japanese seem to make some odd decisions sometimes. I'm sure there's a reason but I can't see that reason being something that could equally counter the possitives of going worldwide. The fact they wouldn't allow streaming of DQH shows they're out of touch with how the market is developing. There they are banning people from promoting their games to people who may never have heard of DQ before, and instead relying on knowledge of the franchise, and on the other hand you have developers happily getting Youtubers to Let's play the fist chapters of their games to advertise. There's a sense of too much ownership with Japanese publishers and developers to me.
