This is sales so...not that telling. But I want to know what The Last of Us' updated numbers are.

Also too bad about Jojo.

That title is entirely misleading, this is sales specific to Amazon and MH4 didn't even outsell Pokémon overall in Japan.
 

BatDan

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Was it worth it Japan? Was it really worth buying MH4 in droves knowing that Capcom would use the money to open a damn mobile game studio?

MH4, AC:NL and Pokemon.

So all rehashed sequels that got minimum to no real improvement with same old tired gameplay, formula and structure and not real revolution of their series. this is really bad.

Really bad? you mean the Video game industry for more than a decade. (yes the industry is in a bad place)

At least they're not remakes.

Pokémon? A Rehash? Did you not see the transition from Black/white to X/Y?

So Yakuza has appearently some good legs in Japan. Good stuff. Already sold half a million in 2012.

People are overreacting on totobeni's comment. Generally he is right. Ace Attorney, Pokemon and MH are really some examples of the little envolvement category.

I have this sneaking suspicion that you haven't played any of these games. Don't ask me why. Just a feeling.

Some other fun facts:

Lighting Returns nowhere to be found on the overall Top 20

TankTankTank beat Wonderful 101

Have you played MH 4? It's quite different even if the structure is the same

I'm going to chalk up ALBW not being on the list because it's too early for its legs to kick in and that the 3DS top 20 is pretty legit?

Edit: Just realized JP release is December 26, 2013

I'm sorry sir, but each of those games got some nice real improvements in their respective series and I wish you actually played them to be aware of this. Also, if you're interested to have such conversation, I would be glad to explain you those improvements with solid arguments and concrete facts.

It's funny how everyone has something negative to say about each regions sales charts. UK Fifa and CoD ugh. Japan with MH and Pokemon. So uninspired. US with Maden and AssCreed and other Mtn DEW Dudebro games. Unless it has a game we like of course! It's all a bit silly really. Sure some great games bomb in the crossfire. Tearaway, TW101 etc but that's the way it is I guess. Marketing goes a long way.
