Great news for nintendo, lets hope that some of its games reach #1 and that nintendo will continue on dominating the charts for some time.

not hard to do seeing xbox is non-existent here and t\nintendo sponsors like every single anime show meaning kids see like a million nintendo adds a night.
nintendo is definetly the biggest in japan [just beating ps2] but being big in japan is nothing to boast about, its not hard to do. just mention the words cool and trendy in your tv adds and everyone will buy your product.
But still, you walk into any game shop here and ps2 games absolutely dominate the shelves except for half a shelf of gc, half of gba and one shelf of soundtracks. apart from that its all dodgy locally made ps2 games and ea games.

^^ Sales charts, Game rankings it's all about keeping ones self esteem high about his/her console that he/she has shelled out $$$ for. Though i must admit that i check out the Australian Charts to see who's in front/ which game is number 1

[shadowrunner]

and who is it?

lol Xbox as usual, ever since u left xbox has had number 1 position for ever, u gota start buying more PS2 games when u come back.

[shadowrunner]

thats the problem, they arent releaeing any good ps2 games for me to buy. The only good current one i can think of is manhunt and the only one comeing i can think of is GTA San Andreas.

[Freeman_JI]

sean showed me manhunt of his xbox... wow i mean holly crap that was violent. the only thing left to give it an R rating would be to put children in there.

Um as u said there's GTA S:A , plus i'll force u to get MGSIII, and Killzone. And any cool PS2 network games we can play together.

[shadowrunner]

uh killzone... i forgot about that. is manhunt on xbox? i didnt know that. i dont hear any western game news over here =(. speaking of which, is starcraft ghost out yet?

[Freeman_JI]

^^ where have u been ... ohh japan.. rockstar are far more freindly to Xbox, all those EA games only on PS2 online are on Xbox, and ghost being multiplatform i don't have any high hopes looks like a release will happen soon or if not def after Halo II.

Have u heard well u will now November 9th will mark a new gaming era. Although in japan you probably notice nothing.

[shadowrunner]

yep, i would honestly say that australia has a better variety of games than japn *forums goes silent with one big gasp*
like, jap has millions of games but most of them are local cheap companys. the only western games ive seen are lord of the rings3 and vice city. and one xbox. i have seen 1xbox.
