    It would be best to edit the article, as the numbers should be written as if they are in English, not in French, German, Italian, Spanish, etc. Anyway, not only there is Nintendo domination of the top ten best-selling games chart throughout the year in Japan, but also in the top ten best-selling games of 2009. The list will change with the release of Final Fantasy XIII which is expected to sell millions in its first week.

    Yeah, Final Fantasy XIII will definetly earn itself a place on the top 10 despite only having about 2 weeks to do it in. Big surprise that no 360 game made the charts…….LOL.

    Oh wait, I forgot…… If they included 360 games, none of the PS3 games would be on the list…….LOL.

    Let’s not forget that they are talking about Japan. The Land of the Has Been Gaming Capital of the World.

    Does the guy replying to me have learning difficulties? EVERY multiplatform game sells better on PS3 than 360 and EVERY PS3 exclusive sells better than 360 exclusives. Whether that’s down to 360′s crap hardware, last – gen graphics or overall lack of quality is anyone’s guess, however sales figures don’t lie, unlike you.
