It's also includes hardware, PS4 sold the most.

3ds was so close though and with all those 3ds games dominating the charts it is clear who the winner in JP is lol. I can see why Nintendo is probably doing some sort of handheld. After all these years it is crazy how well it does there.

Shame there's no variety in that list, yet people swear up and down how Japans offerings are much better than those in the states. ;)

[LAWSON72]

I see plenty of variety, but if you look at all these JP games as the same then you might see things that way.

At least they work and doesn't need day one patches and broken all the time. Also the replay value in them.
Compared to those NPD

LEGO, GTA, Madden, NBA 2K, Call of Duty, - with at least 4-5 recent releases.

i don't care about the article, just here to ask if someone knows what is on the thumbnail? (anime, game, which one, etc)

[LAWSON72]

DQ? It is very Dragon Ball looking with a DQ cel shaded look so that would be my guess

[tanukisuit]

When in doubt, use TinEye/Google reverse image search.
According to TinEye, the game is Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3.

[SarcasticDuck]

yup, thx. How did i forgot i could drop the image on google!? i used to do it all the time!

[Surt]

So much dragon quest on that list. lol

[LOL_WUT]

That's what i'm saying and people disagreed with me LOL ;)

[HawaiianDreads]

It's a very popular series over there, kinda of like how Call of Duty/Battlefield is over here.
