monster hunter beating pokemon, apocalipse is now, mario galaxy at 64 and symphonia at 57 dissapoints me, i would expected dragon quest IV(81) to be nearly as high as dragon quest V(7)



 

So to break it down:

47 - DS
15 - Wii
15 - PSP
12 - PS2
10 - PS3
1 - 360

Honestly I'm rather surprised the PSP fared that well.



I'm not a hardcore gamer.  I'm not a casual gamer.  I'm a gamer.

Could SMG break the million barrier in its lifetime ?

Good legs for Inazuma Eleven, Layton 1 is now over 900K great!

Etryan 2 and Persona 4 is a huge win for Atlus.

Rythm Heaven Gold sales are awesome.

TAG:  Like a Yamauchi pimp slap delivered by Il Maelstrom; serving it up with style.

DS still loved but the PSP its doing great!. ps2 ps3 are decent even with not so many titles released.

ouch 360 but expected it's japan.



Around the Network

i wonder will this list scares the JRPG developers away from the 360 :P



Holy F @ DS domination!

Monster Hunter is really joining Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest as Japan's most important franchises.

Definitely a good software year for PS3. Strange that the hardware doesn't seem to be joining.



Why crho is now only on neogaf........

Only one game from the 360 in the top 100 for the year??? Ouch, if that doesn't make SE and other devs re-think their stance on the 360 being a viable exclusive platform in Japan then i don't know what will!



Wow thanx again MHP is huge in JP
