2008 Top Selling Games In Japan Are Shockingly Unshocking
There are so many ways to spin this information. I can say that Nintendo is an unstoppable juggernaut. I can say that the popularity of the DS in Japan is changing the face of gamers. Heck I can even say that Sony's three consoles look to be safe from the verbal tongue lashings they receive in the states. The one thing I can't spin, and the one bit of info everyone is jumping on is that Tales of Vesperia was the only Xbox 360 game to find itself on the list. Now before everyone goes off on rants I just want to point out that there are two sides to every coin. People take this information and use it as an attack on consoles, or in defense of others. Japanese-made consoles have always been more popular in Japan, and I think the little bit of love they're showing the 360 is a huge leap forward. Sure the best selling 360 game was a jRPG, but progress is progress. Here's the breakdown for ya'll:
DS: 47 games
Wii: 15 games
PSP: 15 games
PS2: 12 games
PS3: 10 games
Xbox 360: 1 game
The top 3 publishers were:
Nintendo: 29 games
Namco Bandai: 20 games
Square Enix: 11 games
