i hope you do know that biohazard 5 is resident evil 5 so the 360 has more than one title on that list probably at least 3... but they probably only list the ps3 version because you know its japan and the 360 so nuff said.... i think we are going to get to the point where some games are ps3 exlcusive when released in japan and then multiplatform when released everywhere else Example gundam musou

I thought this was posted a few weeks ago? Or do they update it every month?
Honestly, the fact that a 360 game even appears is kind of obvious that the polling sample is very limited. Considering the numbers of 360 owners versus all the other consoles, there shouldn't be enough owners to contend with any big PS3/Wii/DS games. Unlike the PS3, it's safe to say 360 numbers will never pick up many more sales a week so there's few "future" owners that could effect these lists.



To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.

Want and buy are two different things... I want a Ferrari.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Agreed.  Resident Evil 5, Devil May Cry 4, and The Last Remnant are all multi-platform but show up as single platform titles on that list, I can only assume they are only coming out for the 360 in North America and Europe otherwise the list is biased.

I'm surprised to see The Last Remnant on that list at all. Little information, not much hype at the moment, and it's being released on one platform that Japan rarely ever glances at.

Yeah these are updated every month. They always look good for Sony until the games are released. Gundam Musou for example was 4th on the list, but Phantom Hourglass was 16th. It outsold Gundam Musou lifetime in 2 weeks. It's kinda like looking at Amazon's sales. You see games that are doing well and are important to people, but only within a very small demographic. Hot Shots Golf 5 was number 7 on the list and Mario Party 8 wasn't on the list at all. Also, Halo's present on the list, even though that game will never sell more than 30,000 copies lifetime in Japan at best. Again, it's a small cutout of the Japanese market that doesn't really tell us anything. Still kind of funny to watch people fawn over it every month though. :)
