-.- My intentions were to show that there's only 1 current gen game there. Of course I saw Wii Music, but besides that there's nothing else going on. Japanese console gaming is nearly dead. PS2 is doing surprisingly good though.

I knew what you meant. Some people just love to be unhappy.

The lack of PS3, 360 and Wii games in the top 10 is alarming.

Do you even bother to read charts or have you made up your mind on what you post already before you enter a thread?

You're one of the most rude members on this forum. There was only 1 Wii game on the charts and no PS3 or 360 games. What was wrong with what he said?

Good point. Also, after further examination of the charts, even the one Wii game seems suspicious. I mean, we are talking about Wii Music here which can hardly be called a game

Wow, that sure did make you look foolish. Did YOU even read the OP before you reply to others posts...or do you already have your ignorant replies ready?

So where is WiiFit? It sold 64k acording to vgchartz in given period. I don't think it's much different in Famitsu.

The problem is that the developers are trying to get a quick profit now rather than setting themselves up for the future.... If all these odd titles they keep releasing were put on the Wii or PS3 they might not get so much money now (higher dev costs [albeit slightly for Wii] and fewer sales) but if the game is at least adequate it would set them up well to profit more from future games.
