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!

Could be because video games are played outside of Japan. In areas that favor the X360 far more than Japan...

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Holy F @ DS domination!

Monster Hunter is really joining Final Fantasy, Mario 2D, Pokemon, Wii series 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.

Fixed

37 PS games! Not bad at all!

I really always forget about Pokemon. Always. I don't know why, but it's just not in my head. Obviously you're right, although I think Wii series is not really a series, more a series of (very good) idead.
