Forums - Sales - Japanese market

Japan is mostly about handhelds at the moment, and still will be for ages. Wii is doing amazingly and it will probably get sales around 23-25 million, because it's what Japanese Gamers want, few core titles that they enjoy (Monster Hunter 3) plus appeal to casual market.

Xbox360 also doing great and MS is slowly getting a foothold within Japan and they are expanding and creating their brand over there. Simply shows what few good Jrpg's exclusives can do.

And there is Sony underachiving, without many games that appeal to Japanese market and that's their bigger problem, they might pick up in the future with some Rpg's (FF and FFv) but they arleady lost Japan this generation.
