Wow, i wouldnt think Famitsu is liking MW3 so much. Even if i dislike it for the pure fact that it is what it is; A.) Call of Duty, and B.) Made by Activision, it still show's how great the CoD Franchise actually is, in quantity aswell as quality.

But Score's like 9/10 for Saints and BF are also worth mentioning, i wouldnt have thought Famitsu is actually giving em such high scores..



I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!

Even Famitsu understands that the Western game industry is pwning the Japanese game industry if only J-fans could accept the truth.

Fantastic score for Ninokuni, I hope it shows up on the pre-order charts in the next couple of days :(

Great for Ni No Kuni!
MW 3 is in the 39 so it falls into the rule about Famitsu.

yeah Japanese industry influence on the west is reduced.

Take away FF and Pokemon, there is not much left.

Yes, Japan's influence is reduced, but that is simply not true:


Wii Sports propelled the Wii to phenominal sales levels and is the greatest selling game of all time.  If it wasn't for Wii Sports, the Wii would have nowhere near the marketshare it has now.

Brain Training/Age greatly expanded the DS to adult audiences and created a massive surge of popularity for it's genre.

Nintendogs acted as a 'killer app' for the DS in Europe (where over half of it's sales are from), the DS and PSP would be far closer if it wasn't for this game

Mario Kart Wii moves an insane amount of Wii software even to this day, and to think people thought this would prove no match for the 'Wii killer' GTA4

New Super Mario Bros Wii just did what it's predecessors did, sell shit loads

 

How do you explain the Wii's sales?  It only got Pokemon and FF spin offs, which I highly doubt moved a lot of hardware and the Western support for it is frankly shit.  Your post makes it seem like the Wii would've died a horrible premature death, selling less than the 360 or PS3.
