Aus kaum einem anderen Land erhält man so detaillierte Aufzeichnungen der Videospielverkäufe, wie aus Japan. Nun hat Media Create, ein Unternehmen, das die Charts genau dokumentiert und verfolgt, die Liste der 50 meistverkauften Videospiele im Land der Kirschblüten veröffentlicht. Am häufigsten sind Spiele für Nintendo-Plattformen vertreten aber auch Sonys Konsolen haben einen großen Anteil an der Liste.

Wieder einmal präsentiert sich in Japan ein gänzlich anderer Trend als im Westen. Spiele wie Call of Duty oder FIFA sucht man auf den vorderen Plätzen vergebens. Aber seht selbst:
