I wonder how much it will end up selling in Japan this year. It's already done 2million.

It very realistically has a shot at overtaking the PS3's Japanese lifetime numbers by the end of the year at current pace.

Maybe, but PS3 will receive a big boost with RE6 too. I really believe in a 1mi+ first week for it.

But I believe the boost from XL early in the year will easily compensate this.

Japan surely has the biggest variety of games.

But we have to pay a lot of money for all that, while when stuff comes to NA it's dirt cheap. :P

Or can you imagine paying 60$ for NSMB2? That's how much it will cost here.

Very impressive list. No doubt it'll leave last year's sales in the dust.

prepare to be disappointed.

MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

In the PS1-PS2 era most the games I bought were japanese developed games, but in this era most japanese games lack that kind of innovation and quality of before in comparison to recent games. Most games I bought expecting them to be quite amazing were an absolute disaster, like FFXIII. I wanted to like it but I could not do it.

Now on-topic, the problem is not about being a japanese or western game; because as an example you have the latest Donkey Kong, which is a western developed game (Retro Studios), and it is the same kind of thing you expect of a nintendo published game. That is why I expected something different considering the little of the thread.

Why would you expect a western style game from a thread about Japanese sales? I mean you wouldn't expect to see a lot of games that are only reall popular in Japan in a thread about sales in the USA would you?
