I didn't expect good things out of that game at all, considering FROM SOFTWARE's track record lately. Here's hoping the game comes to the US at some point, or at the very least that the Japanese version has English subs. I'm rather curious to play it, to see what it's like.

Any ideas what Demon's Souls story is or what type of game is it? I have no idea that's why I pooped out this question lol.

I'm suprised Xbox 360 is on top of the satisfaction curve, but sell the poorest. In fact, satisfaction seems inverse proportional to the sales chart in Japan.

I can't say for the other games, but SF IV was damn good!!!

Frankly the results on the game side of things doesn't really surprise me. I imported Demon's Souls from Hong Kong, and it's fantastic. It's so hard, it'll make you go bald by the time you're 31, but it's great. It's extremely satisfying to get passed a really tough obstacle, and there are a great many of them in the game.

As for Yakuza 3, I knew it would be grand and I can't wait for the North American release hopefully in the not-to-distant future.

The lowest scoring game on that top 5 list was a 360-exclusive RPG. Your comment makes no sense, especially considering the hottest selling console game in Japan right now is the PS3 exclusive title "Yakuza 3".

I do think that a fair few Japanese PS3 owners will be put out that the likes of SO4 didn't arrive for them as many will have bought systems with jrpgs in mind and SE promised much and delivered zilch so far.
Also, remember, that the 360 owners are a minority over there and those willing to answer a survey are highly unlikely to say they made a poor purchase. Plus even though the TA and SE games on 360 have hardly set the world alight at least they've been getting their kind of games for 360.
I expect that more consumers will feel happy about their gaming when FF13 emerges or maybe KH3-PS3 owners have got miffed in the west over SE dragging their heels on PS3 while every single other platform gets games so you can imagine how those in the two companies homeland(SE and Sony)feel that imagined they'd be playing some of their fave franchises way before now.
Still, some great insights into how the Japanese audience view their gaming.

Good to see this game get some deserved attention. Bought the Asian version on Ebay and will start playing it as soon as I wrap up VC. It has such a good dark medieval atmosphere. Guess the Denki review was more accurate than the Famitsu one.
