Using Famitsu most wanted is getting really old. You Sony fanboys should actually check how many votes the games get. In total, the top 20 have about 10k votes. That is about 0.2% of the Japanese gaming market.

Some of those games, like SSBB and Animal Crossing are going to oustell RE5, MGS5 and MH3 without a doubt. Hell, I`ll take a risk and say that SSBB is gonna outsell those 3 games together.

By your logic, since SSBB was even on that list it should be considered desirable by less than .2% of the market... Or is this part of that mentality that Wii titles automatically get a +45% desire rate?

I'm just saying...


I dunno how well SSBB will do, but I trust track records:

Compare to this game's sequel, much higher on the list:

You can add .04 million for the Wii version in Japan too.  So let's see how this logic works:  One game has sold less than .75 million copies in Japan, and it's sequel will be made on a system that's being outsold 6 to 1 week after week that you are claiming (if this list is accurate) will outsell a game who's prequel sold 1.42 million on a system with more than double the user base and a gap increasing at an incredible rate.
