I'm surprised that despite the not so well received 'Crossfire', the japanese would want another Gundam game.  and where's 'Dracula X?'

Remember when Blue Dragon topped that list? Unfortunately like in America those who vote for these types of things aren't considered at all mass market.

There's actually 3 Wii titles on there. Wii is outselling the PS3 by a hell of alot there though, it's surprising there aren't more.

You're right, actually. I missed SSBB and the DQ spinoff.

My point still stands, kinda. It's probably because Famitsu is a hardcore gaming magazine, and most of the games that are pushing the Wii (like the ones that pushed the DS) aren't targeted toward that market. But that's just a guess.

That's probably why more aren't on there. It is odd that more aren't on there with the amount of Wii's that have sold there. The most suprising thing to me is that Lost Odyssey is above a Square Enix game (a few in fact). Very odd for Japan (especially considering it's an Xbox 360 game).

Too bad it ain't gonna do anything for North America....And the 360 winning in North America is no small achievement at all.  I still think the Wii will take japan this generation.

Guess I shouldn't be suprised.  Of course, the general gaming public in Japan will miss out on it.  Shame, considering it'll be better than most of those games on the list.

Yes, but as the list shows, every other game they want is on the ps3, so its obvious they would get the ps3 version along with the rest of their ps3 games, instead of buying a 360 just for Biohazard.

theres a difference between rpg's and jrpg's. mass effect is not quite the taste of japanese consumers. jrpg's usually have the character increasing in strength as compared to the enemies. not to mention, they usually dont try for a realistic art style.

I just figured that if there are enough 360 fans to get Lost Oddysey there, then maybe some of them would like to play Biohazard on the 360 too.

Quite sad considering most Japanese gamers will miss out on a great game though. 

I can't understand why they can't broaden their gaming tastes.

even though ill be buying Blue Dragon, BD was teh game to get systems selling, but it put a little bitty dent in JA. I do not see LO doing any bettter. IF BD couldnt get things rolling then i dont think LO is going to get ppl wanting to jump out and buy a 360

Quite sad considering most Japanese gamers will miss out on a great game though. 

I can't understand why they can't broaden their gaming tastes.

Most would argue that it's the pride of their culture. Go there and visit and you'll notice feelings of superiority from them. It's one of their greatest weaknesses in the end.
