Forums - Gaming - The Top 10 Sales of the Year in Japan, Will Belong all to Nintendo Platforms? First Time In Japan Since the SNES!

+ Pokemon ORAS

So, yes. Easily

Top ten doesn't equal to all Japan. I'll rather be analysing top 100 : the more data there is, more accurate your measure becomes.

If only they could get the act together in europe and the us


In regions where Third parties rule? Nintendo has 2 games in top 10 sku of 2014 (US) currently, both 1st party and the Sony/MS has none (talking non multiplats of course)



Wow, I assume that Pokemon ORAS will make it to the top 10. Nintendo has steamrolled the competition in Japan this year. Now to wait for Youkai Watch to arrive here.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

This is top 10, these 10 games >>>>>>>>>> every other game in sales this year. So it kinda does matter.

Sony has third parties and great support from them. In quantity Sony >>> Nintendo for games released each year, yet Nintendo wins in sales tells alot all on its own.

Yes it does. But you can't decide a victor just on a top 10 



Pokemon though... that's gonna outsell all of em. I can't wait for ORAS as they are my favorite pkmn games to date. Nintendo always does great software wise, I didn't know they'd been doing it for 17 years in Jap.



Also, 3DS domination. The only not 3DS title is MK8. Japan really is the land of handhelds.

50% of Japans 2014 software sales (so far) were 3DS games:

In this situation it would be strange when 3DS games wouldn't dominate the top 10 and the top 100
