More importantly, Heavy Rain makes the list. A western game in a Japanese award show. That gotta be rare. Japan is really conservative when it comes to their culture.


if they're really closed minded then why is every "weird" looking game sell so little in the West while selling more in the East?

They're probably not seen as weird over there. Japs probably see Call of Duty as being weird.

Quite surprised that Dragon Quest IX didn't win it. With that great review from Famitsu and the massive sales I was sure it was going to win. Still can't beleive Dragon Quest VIII is the only game in the series to win the big prize at this thing, yet 4 Final Fantasy games have won the top prize (note: Dragon Quest is bigger than Final Fantasy in Japan).

No they don't , " Action " games have their fanbase in there, and they call FPS games Action games.

Has any FPS sold over 1 mil in Japan? Or even close to that?

Japan is a smaller country than the whole American Region, things do not sell in millions unless they're super popular.
