Japan's Media Create group has recently posted their tallies for the region's software sales ending December 16. And if you thought the list's top ten slots still belong to the likes of Nintendo Wii or DS games, think again. |

pwner1 go and look at sales for the rest of the world and then we can talk. I don't know why japan is given so much weight still. They are very behind in the games market now.

And it's higher up than the one true PS3 game. I'd say Nintendo controls about 60% of the top 30 charts, if not more. PS2 is also doing unsurprisingly well. Can't really get sick of that thing. It's 7 years old, but it'll take you at least twice that much to finish all the good games on it.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is still a game. If it wasn't, people wouldn't have bought it that much.

[ The Best Movie in 2008: Valkyrie ]
Watch the movie trailers, so you have an idea on what these movies (Valkyrie and Speed Racer) are. You thought Tom Cruise is a character in the movie who’s trying to murder Adolf Hitler. Nah, the leaked script (summary) is available online. Tom Cruise is loyal to Hitler. Tom is acting like a traitor because Tom and Hitler want to hind out who are loyal and who are not before they can start the World War II (I saw this coming, I mean I knew Tom Cruise is loyal to Hitler; Valkyrie is made by the director who made the Usual Suspects; good guys are actually bad; bad guys are actually good, etc).
[ The Best Movie in 2008: Speed Racer ]
It’s from the makers of the Matrix trilogy, and Speed Racer looks luscious, fantastic and crazy. I’m especially talking about the graphics (CGI). Speed Racer seems to be better than the Craptrix 3 anyway. Look at the trailer (there’s only one).
- at 00:12 – Track Mania (PC game)???
- at 00:47 – Bioshock!!! (an underwater city)
- generally (the trailer includes racing girls) – Need for Speed???
- generally (throughout the whole trailer) – MotorStorm!!!
Look at the Bioshock scene (at 00:47) then you may think the graphics is terrific for a movie. They just added some nice glow effects on people’s clothing and some more.
[ This Old One Needs a Better Sequel: Sonic the Hedgehog ]
Just look at the newest Sonic remakes for PS3 and X360. Sonic is in 3 dimensional just like Mario on Wii. Mario moves so slow; therefore, Mario games can be made perfectly in 3D. Sonic and its (or his) friends move 10 to 20 times faster than Mario and its gang (20 times faster when they are in Super state, such as Super Sonic in glowing gold color). As a result, the new Sonic game (PS3) is totally crappy.
Look at LittleBigPlanet (PS3) and Small Arms (X360); at first glance (I mean for the first 5 seconds), you think both are 2D games; then you know that they are 100% 3 dimensional. The developers chose such camera angle (and you can’t move around or change the fixed camera angle), so these games look like 2D games. LBP is 3rd most popular and hyped PS3 game in 2008 (after Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid). If Sega just makes a new Sonic game like LBP or Small Arms (by using such camera angle), then this Sonic will be superb (with perfect gameplay and controlling even when Sonic is so fast).
Then Sega needs to add one more new character (which is not crappy). This new Sonic game must be much difficult to play. For example, look at Sonic 3 which was really popular (so you should know a lot about it). Sonic 3 has 6 levels and the entire game can be finished in 4 to 5 hours; but 95% of the entire game is blazingly easy to play; and 5% is very hard and challenging (for example, you have to go through underwater mazes very fast; otherwise, Sonic will be drowned). The new Sonic game must be 80% groundbreaking difficult + 15% quite hard + 5% easy.
(I only like talking about various topics, and that’s why I post long comments time to time. On the other hand, I’m not a fan of reading other people’s comments. I simply never waste even 2 seconds to read comments posted by garbage like you, game addicts (yes, I’m talking about you); therefore, don’t bother to post replies here, kid.)

Sales in Japan are the most accurate form of market research for Asia. Japan is well controlled and piracy is extremely low.
China Taiwan Indonesia etc are unknown as Piracy and sales of consoles are unregistered.
Officially the xbox 360 isnt even for sale in China but the number of 360 owners here is astounding. However this is a market that everybody wants but there is little or no control here. So it is ignored with regard to sales analysis. For the western world Japan is the only Asian market where any reasonable analysis is possible even if it may incorrectly reflect what Asians like.
