Amazon.co.jp has revealed its top selling games of 2009 (minus Final Fantasy XIII), and the result seems to confirm the expected carve up of the market between RPGs and casual games, and the PS3/PSP and Wii/DS…
1. Dragon Quest IX (DS)
2. Tomodachi Collection (DS)
3. Monster Hunter 3 (Wii)
4. Tales of Vesperia (PS3)
5. Hatsune Miku: Project Diva (PSP)
6. Wii Sports Resort (Wii)
7. Wii Fit Plus (Wii)
8. Biohazard 5 (PS3)
9. Ryu ga Gotoku 3 (PS3)
10. Dissidia Final Fantasy (PSP)
A certain Microsoft platform seems painfully absent from the ranking…

Wii Fit Plus... gee, even games for women fit in the top charts O.o
(P.S. If you're a man and you play Wii Fit Plus, all your arguments about why you are not gay are invalid from now on.)
How does playing "fun" games make you gay? It's like the "guilty pleasure games".
I've never played wii fit, but I actually never thought that it would be gay to play.. I don't know if it's a western mentality that makes you think like that.. idk...
the thing about western women is they think they have some special ability to tell if a mans gay, but in reality they have less relationship sense than a rock.
He's probably some high schooler who thinks that "gay" is some kind of insult.
I dunno man. A rock stays quiet. That's pretty high on the charts for me.
Of course the sandwiches are still an issue. Never heard of a rock making one.
Like this?

Skip to 2:01 and it's totally just like what you said drunkspidreman...
about some of the women who thinks they have some special ability to tell if a man's gay...
The thing about eastern men is they think they have some special ability to identify western women on teh internets.
But I'm a man. >:D
Then how dou yo know ã�¤ã��ã�ã��ã�¤ã�� is really eastern men
awesome monster hunter!
Surprisingly, Wii games claimed 3 top 10 positions despite low sales.

Im just glad project diva is among them ^^
Bullshit, the point of Wii Fit is to get your body moving and get you thinking about how many hours you spend with your ass on the couch, not to mention that some of the minigames are pretty damn fun.
Caring about your health (self-image issues aside) is certainly not only for women and gays.
Only women and gay people need games like Wii Fit to let them understand they spend hours with there ass on the couch. Real men spends hours sitting on there asses in a bar where they can not be bothered with such pitty games.
I laughed.
Perhaps I meant to say that Wii Fit is moreso a fun way to get your body moving, rather than an enlightening experience.
Petty games...
@ anon 05:41
Then what is a manly man like you doing chatting in an anime culture-related forum instead of spending hours sitting on your ass in a bar?
[_] ~(=v =). ~*
A real man doesn't sit in a bar, but does some sport -.-
a real man wears pantsu while taking down a drug cartel with only his bare fists!
you mean a real man wears pantsu while taking OVER a drug cartel.....real men don't participate in the BS "war on drugs".
Monster Hunter!!!!!
Holy shit, a Darkrockslizer post with a negative rating! Where's my camera?
Use print screen please...
Aww you're making me feel special. :3
Agree with you on this one Ichiro.
so happy miku made it onto the list :3
can't wait for the next one :D
Miku ftw~
miku`s project DIVA should be released for the west we like vocaloid too :p
Guess you can't expect anything less from a Japanese website to have nothing but Japanese games on that list.
wow no xbox lol and everyone who owns an xbox boasts about how there games are better and now look.
There is a difference between sales and quality. JSRF would like to have a word with you.
There is also a correlation between sales and quality, though.
I've seen awesome games that almost no one knows and I've seen some of the most boring games ever released top the charts. What correlation do you speak of?
I´ve seen awesome games in the top of the charts and I've not seen some of the most boring games ever released in the charts.
So... what are the point again?
yeah, there is a correlation, all of these games aren't crap
You're an idiot. Don't you get the irony here?
It's all import games for consoles nobody would by games for at gamestop. It also goes to show how badly a certain demographic prefers to stay inside and have their games sent to them rather than go out and buy it from a real store.
none of these are import games. This list is from amazon.co.JP (note the last two letters).
And of course there are no xbox games on the list seeing that the 360 has sold rather poorly over there.
too bad Biohazard 5 wasn't that good :\
it definitely wasn't as horror as the first ones, at least..
Stop whining, the showdown with Wesker was EPIC
and it wasn't suppose to be designed as horror anyway
more like action horror, or towards to gears of war genre
what i'm dissappointed about RE 5 is only their enemy design, and no unlimited ammo ranking limit
either the designer being lazy, or they just ran out of idea, all RE5 enemy design was already made from previous series
irving -> leviathan, DMC3
wesker -> how hard can it be?
reaper -> drain deimos, RE3
ndesu -> la gigante
bui kichwa was cool tho
and fucking unlimited ammo really ruin the decency of this game... i hate unlimited ammo partners...
its already easy even if you play without it, and unlimited ammo just ruin it
miku is boring after awhile though. only otaku put up with it which means i'm not otaku enough
As an avid fan of rhythm games, I kind of have to agree. There's replayability to a point, but after you can do over 90% of the songs on the hardest difficulty with relative ease, it's just kind of a struggle to do the last few.
Not to mention having to replay the entire songlist six times to unlock the swimsuit costumes...
Who cares if Xbox games doesn't sell in Japan. It's hard to appeal to these guys anyway.
No Modern Warfare 2. That's.... good
I agree, hyped game
Nice List. Especially Monster Hunter 3 being in the top 3.
What kind of game is monster hunter 3? From the screenshots it looks a little bit like a dmc-like game...
a game at epic ownage of multiplayer
by far the best MMORPG ever created
if you say it look like DMC, yeh it kinda look alike, but MUCH more slower & harder to master
basically, you fight a monster with size about 100x times to 10000x than you, without magic attack, 10 m high jump & all epic ownage action that is impossible for human
all we can do is roll, sidestep, attack with our preset attack, and all of those attack are somehow very very human possible, tho we still able to breath on water for 8 minutes without any effort whatsoever
this is also the 4th game of capcom where you can actually fight enemy in water, but in much more epic proportion from previous 3
I want it now. You should advertise for them.
apparently, i don't own a wii, yet, or maybe never
i borrowed my sis in law wii to played it
i'll wait when capcom "betrayed" their exclusivity, or bring their series on PS3
i got x360, but here in indonesia? microsoft going to fuck my ass with diamond dildo coated with corrosive acid
i'm all for paying service to PS3 if there;s any
or i;ll wait for update of MH3 (all MH series will have update after 6 or 12 month, i'll wait)
Detroit metal city?
Devil May Cry;-)
