I'm not entirely sure about the Most Wanted list but I know on other Famitsu reader surveys they've tallied about 1,700 people's results. Not a big pool of people at all, and the worst part is it's not a statisical choice of people, its a blob of readers, so it's hard to calculate how accurate they represent the entire country, which in my opinion is not to good. Sure it'll look accurate sometimes 1,700 people I'm sure are excited about alot of the same stuff everyone else is excited about. But this group clearly lacks interest in many successful titles, I didn't see Wii Play toping the charts, I saw FF III for the DS beat Pokemon which sales obviously reflected the opposite by huge margins. Gundam Musou was up high and sales didn't reflect that kind of attention. So in my opinion they are a casual fascination to see, but I think it's highly absurd that so many sites post this list as if it represents Japan accurately.
