Yes you're so right. The Japanese complain about the scores of Trusty Bell for instance, which were according to them "overrated", ask Y-Koron. Same with Square Enix publishments, except of FFXII they overrate their games too much and mostly in the West you can withdraw about 20% of the total score.

@Windbane, you want a few examples? Well DQS is one for instance, Children of Mana for the DS got 10/10/8/8, a very good example of "what in earth were they thinking".

At least I have the guts to say that even Nintendo games are overrated, I don't see PS fans doing that around here with their own games, now would they?

I always rate Famitsu scores highly. HSG has removed another hurdle from being a big seller - we'll see how the public respond in just 3 days!

How can Final Fantasy games be overrated by any single publication considering they get extremely high reviews from almost everyone?

I'll give you DQS (what was it rated?) and Children of Mana, however.

Edit:  However, it's hard to argue with this list on Wikipedia:

"Only six games so far have received perfect scores. They are listed in chronological order.

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998, Nintendo, for Nintendo 64)

5. Nintendogs (2005, Nintendo, for Nintendo DS)
6. Final Fantasy XII (2006, Square Enix, for PlayStation 2)

Games that received a near-perfect score of 39 include:

1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (1991, Nintendo, for Super Famicom)
2. Virtua Fighter 2 (1995, Sega, for Sega Saturn)
3. Ridge Racer Revolution (1995, Namco, for PlayStation)

15. Ōkami (2006, Capcom, for PlayStation 2)
16. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (2007, Nintendo, for Nintendo DS)"

Is it still selling well?  It's about 1.2 million away from Gran Turismo 3 and San Andreas level. 

In any case its the best reviewed game of the PS3 so far in Japan .

http://vgchartz.com/aweekly.php

Nintendogs was the ninth best selling game this week for all platforms, in its 100th week of release. It's selling about 100,000 copies in America per month alone. It's basically finished in Japan, but it's still selling reasonably well in Europe too (perhaps 30-40k a month?)

 Heh, then I guess it will make it past those 2 games.  I'm not sure how many of those Mario/Pokemon games weren't bundled, though...you might be right about Nintendogs ending up the highest selling non-bundled game.

Anyway, go Hotshots 5 on PS3!  As Diomedes1976 states, it is the best revieweed game in Japan.  Predictably, the reviewer is being attacked, heh.  I do love this forum, for some reason... 

As I pointed out a whole back, it was "effectively" bundled in Australia.

Buy a DS, get a free copy of Nintendogs (your choice which). I don't think its still running though (will check) - I remember it being relevant when the DSPhat was selling.

YEAH!
Vagrant Story get 10/10 so good !!!!!!!!!
Definetely, Famitsu knows what is a videogame !!!!!!!!

huh?

FFXII ? 10/10 too ? erf ...too bad.
