Once again, WiiFit keeps selling like hot cake while real games like GT5 and LO sales increase dramaticly.

Well come on prologue is more of a demo then the real deal so that's okay for it to not sell as well. LO is for the 360 so wasn't going to do well in Japan anyway. I'm looking forward to LO when it comes out here in the states.

The market in Japan is very very very different. They like these odd dohikeys and quirky gamish things. Plus they are really into Nintendo products as you can see by the 9 out of 10 top spots.

I agree on LO and overall Japan and Nintendo stuff.

I know GT5P is just a demo but so is Wii Fit. Seriously, the only decent uses for Wii Balance Board are skate and similair games. Right now it's not even a tech demo. It's a useless plastic scale.
There is still nothing in gaming world that I hate more than Jack Thompson and Wii Fit.

I actually disagree and think these are bad numbers because it's a single minded market. Just Nintendo and almost all casual Nintendo. No wonder Silent Hill dev said game developement Japan is in trouble. No matter how much Japanese companies try and spend millions on expensive PS3 / 360 games, people end up buying next Wii and DS game more than anything.
Now I'm not saying that there should be no Wii or DS game in top 10. I believe a healthy market have to consist of all types of games and platforms.

Well that's why there are different markets. I'm glad Square Enix is getting lovin in Japan still. Yet as most know I do like Nintendo so these are a-w-e-some numbers ^^

Unfortunatly I'm not seeing where LO will do well. It'll sell somewhat in the US and Europe I guess but only Japan really really likes RPG's. GT5P will do great in the other areas.

Wow, GT5 Prologue sales dropped dramatically, considering its reputation there, sales so far can be interpreted as bombed if you want to be critical. But it's difficult to be too critical as its only a demo, but I expected it to sell better. Perhaps the price was too much of an issue?

Racing games generally don't appeal to me but why is GT5P considered a demo? I haven't followed the release of this game at all so I don't know what the deal with it is. Is it a demo to a real GT5 that is currently in dev or something?

Nintendo truly owns Japan, software and hardware wise...wow. Dammit Sony...all you need is one piece of undeniably good PS3 software and you'll be in there. Crisis Core and Monster Hunter did some good for the PSP, GT5 Prologue doesnt seem to be enough and I agree with Meus with the price issue, I guess we gotta wait for MGS4 to see how the PS3 kinda stands in Japan.

ok MK Red.. all of those games could have been done on weaker systems, albeit with worse graphics. I dont know how big of numbers you need to see to realize people arent just interested in graphical upgrades anymore, sure that is part of the equation but its not the solution.

14 - @Bladestar

Dude you need to relax. All of those RROD's on your 360's must have you stressed out and cranky. I'm guessing you don't even live in Japan so why are you so tense about their sales numbers? And I know you dislike casual games but to say "damn the casuals" is a little weird in my book because most people have friends that are casual gamers. If you don't have any friends that are causal gamers and only have the so called "hardcore gamer" or if your 360 is your only friend you need to get a life dude... seriously.

16 - people you have to remember GT5 pro. was just a demo..

And you can download it off the ps3 store. So with that said gt5 pro. will be the best selling demo ever made.. lol..

Just wait until the full game is out.. Than it will be in the top 10 for a couple of weeks..

Anyway why do so many people waste there money on a Wii.. What a piece of crap for hardware.. I guess its cool for kids under the age of 12.

16.2 - Wii garbage?

Well thats what I use to think. I bought the Wii for my 5 year old daughter. After playing it for the last 6 months I would have said it was a fad. None of the games held my interest more than 30 mins. Even the Zelda game (only gave that 10 mins worth of play time) didn't do anything for me. Until I played SMG... I couldn't put the damn game down. The first universe is pretty damn lame though. I'll revisit this topic when I reach the 50-75% mark.

If only Nintendo could make PS3/X360 graphics on that thing...it would have me head over heals in love with it.

18 - Jeez...

When did games stop becoming fun... I'm not ashamed to say I'm looking forward to Wii fit... Y can't people try something different instead of sticking to the same formula over and over again... Seriously besides graphics, what "Next Gen" game on PS3 or 360 bring something completly new to the table. We are seriously just playing the same games form last gen, just in HD. How is Uncharted realy different from Tomb Raider, how is Halo really different from Golden eye... the differences aren't really that much if u think about it from a gameplay perspective...

Please note I'm not saying these games are bad, but I'm trying to point out that there is nothing wrong with games evolving in different ways (not just graphics).

Whether you think Wii fit is a game or not, it looks like the Japanese are finding that it is worth their money and so do I.

Games are so expensive nowadays. Y should I pay the so much for an experience I had last gen. I have only 2 games for my PS3 (I know 2008 will change that) not because I don't like my PS3, but because before I spend that $60.00 (close to $70.00) with tax the game has to be really good. I got COD4 and Oblivion should be arriving soon... and thats it... all the demos I've played for other games haven't made me want to spend that much on them.

Anyway thats my 2 cents... can I have change?

Uncharted isn't as similar to Tomb Raider as most may think. If you played Uncharted you'd realize there is a huge difference. Yeah its fundamentally the same with cliffs, jumps, puzzles but that is as far as it goes. *btw, beat it today, wonderful experience, didn't expect the survival horror thrown into the mix*

Halo is a spin off of Unreal Tournament if anything.

The look on my parents, and sisters face say otherwise... they love the system, and so do I, and I'm a relative newcomer to videogames...

I have a PS3 and I don't c what the big deal is... apart from graphics the games are essentially the same as PS2. PS3 is a great system, but everyone makes it seem that you can't enjoy games that are not Hi def.

Do you think all those people still buying PS2s care about Hi def?
