Wonder if it has anything to do with Zelda.

Definitely.

Makes a lot of sense. Zelda is much more popular in the US than Chinese history.

Zelda is more poular in the US than US history.

Ha...

What is it about Zelda and Japan anyway???

I understand it just doesn't have the popularity that it has in the US, but why would Phantom Hourglass, of all Zelda titles, be the one that nearly makes it to a million in Japan???



Have a nice day...

Can we stretch US history to the older COD games?

On the popularity it's probably down to the Japanese's unique taste, even with the changes in each game the core elements of Zelda seem to draw the west to it, I don't think straight up adventure games do that well in Japan come to think of it, they seem to prefer JRPGs and games with more controlled pace.

Not a standard JRPG, funny enough Xenoblade is like an adventure game.
