Apparently Assassins Creed II drew the biggest crowds at TGS. Or something like that.

Hmmm, FF13 is PS3 only in Japan. But that's beside the point.

It looks like there is a deficit of Wii games on this list, if indeed this list is a true reflection of the level of anticipation in the Japanese general gaming populous.

pretty bad list as far as representing sales. I don't expect AC2, lost planet 2, or bayonetta to sell much more than 100k or so. The west is a different story.
