Famitsu readers weighed in on their most anticipated games and hardware.
 
Number one game? For Wii. Numbers two and three? For PS3.
 
Number one system? Wii, with a 68% margin.
 
Hmm...?

The Xbox360\'s still as dead as a dodo in Japanland.

Knowing them, both Wii & PS3 will sell very well.

Except for Halo3, Xbox360\'s flagship titles won\'t win
over the Japanese. Not gonna happen.

XBox games don\'t have any giant enemy crabs, so I guess that\'s why they don\'t do as well.  MS should study Japanese culture.  :)

Read the poll, quit being a jackass and read it. It was Zelda. You can\'t spin doctor every little thing.  Six out of the ten was for Nintendo\'s system, yet somehow, I am sure you will manage to throw an insult about how the media doesn\'t matter or the japanese arent\' important.

-shrugs-

Gotta love the double standards.

No.
I also don\'t care who number one is.
I just think it\'s funny that if this was a Sony poll it\'d be all cheers, but now that the poll shows interest in Nintendo, it\'s just sarcasm .

Quit being a troll.
No one said they didn\'t like it.
Keep trollin\' and bashing members and you\'ll find the door.

Trolling isn\'t allowed for any sides. We\'re discussing something - get over it. Apparently tho\', by your theory, this forum would be perfect if we all just bowed down and loved everything with the name Sony on it.

Like any poll, it only captures the mindset of Japanese \'gamers\' within a very limited timeframe.

Although it\'s usually fairly predictable, sometimes small surprises do appear ; let\'s say for example if all of a sudden Xbox360 gains more popularity in Japan even if temporary. Of course, Madden is never going to be a system seller there.

So, yeah atm the Japanese show big interest in Wii ; but we all know they like their beloved franchises as well which historically appeared on the Playstation format and they love their juicy graphics. Japanese PS3 interest is inevitable.

This is console discussion. "This forum will only tolerate logical, rational, and flat out intelligent conversations. Please leave the ignorance, hatred, and "fanboy" mentality at the door"

Maybe you missed that part.

Doesn\'t Nintendo hold a huge grasp on Japanese gamers? I think I saw sales figures of GameCube dead on with PS2, right? I know they did better there than here.

Uh not really. They are popular but not as popular as you\'re thinking. They own the portable market there by a large margin(like everywhere else) but I\'m pretty sure Cube was still a dinstant second to PS2 in sales there.

GameCube has sold pretty consistently in Japan.

Consistently below PS2, though.

Nintendo\'s GBA (and now DS) have the Japanese wrapped around their finger, though.

Much like the PS2/GBA dominated the US.

Eh, whatever. They\'re still kicking the pants off Sony in the handheld market. I think Nintendo will always be king there.
