Forums - Sales - The number of 1 million sales in Japan this generation is pathetic

According to this site only 8 titles for Wii have so far made it over 1 million and a big fat zero for PS3 and of course Xbox 360.

22 are mentioned on this site for PS2  but only 1 for Gamecube



- 25 DS million sellers
- 2 PSP million sellers

- 4 GBA million sellers

Japan is going much more handheld-focused. That doesn't mean that the number of million sellers is lacking..



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

i counted three psp million sellers in japan

Monster Hunter Freedom 2nd G Capcom 3.02 0.00 0.00 3.02
Monster Hunter Freedom 2nd Capcom 1.76 0.33 0.27 2.36
Monster Hunter Freedom Capcom 1.03 0.22 0.16 1.41



I was going by Famitsu which does not merge 'The Best' titles together. If you included the budget editions, there would indeed be 3 titles over 1m.

Japan is a decent sized market, but one of the smaller in the world these days.



PREDICTIONS:
(Predicted on 5/31/11) END of 2011 Sales - Xbox 360 = 62M;  PS3 = 59M;  Wii = 97M

It's a shame that we can't get these numbers for the UK...



If they were going much more handheld focused there would be more PSP ones as well. Instead why isn't it so hard to believe that they are simply more DS focused haha. DS is just like one of the largest things to hit the market since the original NES. Give it the credit it deserves haha.
