@Arnoud1976 Its not a conspiracy or anything, its just a matter of accessible data. Media Create has been putting out relatively reliable weekly numbers for the Japanese market for a long time, numbers that are hard to come by for the European, Australian, or even the American market. As for the title "Big in Japan," your comment is somewhat ironic given the origin of that phrase, which denotes a band that hasn't really made it because they're only "Big in Japan" and Japan's pop-culture isn't as respected. It is the title of a Tom Waits song and a phrase that goes back decades in the music industry. On a side note: You should make yourself aware of Ninokuni, It is a partnership between Level-5 (Dark Cloud, Professor Layton) and animation Studio Ghibli (Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, etc.) and looks great. Also: If Europe is more like-minded how would it be more interesting to see what they're buying, as presumably they're buying the same things we are (although I don't recall FIFA topping US charts for months on end)?

looks so amazing. sadly, I can only get it through importing.

man, its too bad the only option is to import ace. game looks really fun, but how can you edit a mech with stats in japanese?

Where'd the PS3 get that jump from? PSP is usually at the top

Nippon ga sukidayo~

The PSP go is being outsold by the Playstation 2. In Japan in is 2011 so I think that the PSP Go should be discontinued is seems that the Sony experiment has failed. Regular PSP is doing quite well in Japan. Download only doesn't seem to have caught on.

PSP seems to be doing well in Japan. Shame it's doing pretty crappily here in the states, since it means that we'll probably continue to see PSP exclusive titles from Japanese companies that nobody plays here.

The PSP has been racking up good numbers for quite a while now, maybe that'll help the PSP2's development for games?

No offense but why is it always big in Japan and not big in Europe? or australia? Surely we are more same-minded gamewise with americans than the japanese? Their top 10 are mostly japanese games that never make it outside Japan, so what's the point? I don't even know what Ninokuni: shikkoku no madwhattamesumptin means, and frankly i dont care. And i am pretty sure not a lot of japanese gamers check this site anyway and a lot of europeans do. Wouldn't it be far more interesting what does well in europe than in Japan? Really gamestop!! just because they get some games sooner doesn't mean anything than just that they get it sooner.

PS3 outsells 360 12 times over again

Man 360 sales are low... Microsoft never should have gave up that region. Only thing keeping 360 from going below PS2 JPN numbers is XBLA and their plethora of SHMUPS. MS should invest in more JRPG's otherwise it's gonna be difficult to win the war without atleast a substantial amount of units being sold in Japan. One million just ain't cutting it anymore.

What games that are Big in Japan... oh it's Japanese Games
