I was looking forward to that... Thank you!

Sad that Super Paper Mario isn't appearing in the top 10 anymore.



Currently Playing: Skies of Arcadia Legends (GC), Dragon Quest IV (DS)

Last Game beaten: The Rub Rabbits(DS)

Thanks ! !



New Super Mario Bros = Energizer bunny Forza 2 did little to nothing. Software will be up for the 360, but looks like hardware will barely get a bump. Was something for PS3 released this week, or is 8k the official bottom for its weekly sales?

 MS screwed up ads for Forza2 now I haven't seen the Japanese ads, but I'm guessing they went the american route and showed off the cars racing. But if you check out some of the home made videos on the web whats hot in Japan in Forza is the paint jobs for cars, they have cars out their with characters from every anime and manga known to mankind. I think that's the kind of think that could help make it a succes over there, but it was a feature that wasn't advertised. Frankly being that I can't find the Forza 2 commercials for japan I'm thinking they hardly advertised the game. How can they barely advertise their biggest response to one of the best franchises on the ps2 that being GT? It could have been alot bigger if done right. At this point I'm feeling they are putting all the eggs in Mystwalker's basket to grab the japanese fanbase.

I think it's safe to say that from a Western perspective, Japanese gamers have lost their friggin' minds. NSB and FFT are the only games in their top 10 that don't make me want to slam my head in a refrigerator door.

  I totally agree. This market is extremly bizzare.

I was a little harsh I understand. I misinterpreted you in saying the Japanese gaming public has lost their minds. Still you have to understand that they probably feel the same way about the us buying the 360 as you do about their buying habits.

Well then do us a favor and slam your head in the refrigerator door moron. I bet you don't even know what half those titles in the top ten are so with all due respect stop talking out of your ass.


And a good morning to you, too.

It is. I'm not bashing their tastes; that's their own prerogative. But while we used to see several games that were popular on both hemispheres, that doesn't really seem to be the case anymore. There will always be the FFs, REs, and MGSs that carry over but other than that, I don't see many similarities in game choices any more.
