Just utterly pathetic numbers all around ...

Japan's future as a dedicated gaming devices market is probably at stake for the very first time! Heck, we could be witnessing a precursor to the very first Japanese video game market crash by the end of this generation/start of next generation!

It must be extremely sad that the most currently relevant Japanese game franchises in the market have been reduced to less than a dozen. Animal Crossing, Dragon Quest, Mario, Pokemon, Monster Hunter, Splatoon and Super Smash Bros are all that's left ...

The situation is so dire that franchises such as Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and Yokai Watch may not be able to reach 1M units sold in Japan ever again with future entries ...

Kingdom Hearts barely hit a million in Japan on the PS2. Why would it not hitting a million be surprising?

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
