That's not true. Western games this gen like gta 5 and the witcher have seen great growth in Japan on ps4. No reason rdr2 won't easily out perform rdr. 

Point that some game had growth over previous game in Japan doesnt mean its heavy hitter in Japan.

GTA5 is regularly in top 10 best selling games on West, when GTA5 was in top 20 best selling games in Japan, probably only around GTA5 launch.

Wrong. Gta v has been in the top 20 many times since launch. Rainbow 6 is another that showed huge growth.

Relly!? Can me tell me when last time was in top 20 in Japan, beacuse I relly dont remember. While in West GTA 5 is regularly in top 10.

GTA V spent the entire summer last year in the top 20. The most recent I believe was in early or mid-August. But yeah, from like April to August it was in it pretty much every week. Was really impressive.

Top 20 a few times last year. Top 25 a good few times and top 30 more often than not.

Thats not true.Not every western game is performing well there and there is no pattern.No reason rdr2 will easily outperform rdr.

While not every western game is performing well. The major Western games have done pretty well in the past 5 years. GTA5 is a million seller in Japan and Call of Duty has established itself as a very solid seller. The market for these games has increased and I'm not sure there are many cases of retraction. Even Skyrim will likely pass 500k with the Switch port in Japan.

It's pretty simple when other gave me clear information, not you. So, GTAV in Japan was last time in top 20. (more exatly at 18. position) 6 months ago, so Its not strange why I dont remember when GTAV was last time in Japan in top 20, while in West we seeing GTAV regulary in top 10.

It's clear to me because i follow this thread closely. You should have just Google a few of the charts over the last year. Simple .
