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…

Yay Miku!
miku`s project DIVA should be released for the west we like vocaloid too :p
Miku ftw~
Agree with you on this one Ichiro.
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.)
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
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 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 ^^
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.
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.
He's probably some high schooler who thinks that "gay" is some kind of insult.
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...
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.
a real man wears pantsu while taking down a drug cartel with only his bare fists!
@ 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 -.-
you mean a real man wears pantsu while taking OVER a drug cartel.....real men don't participate in the BS "war on drugs".
Petty 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.
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.
so happy miku made it onto the list :3
can't wait for the next one :D
WOOO MONSTER HUNTER 3 YEAAA baby!!
good work yakuza and RE
Because Japan sales are everything!!!
>Implying sales in xenophobic japan are an indicator of a consoles global success
It is on a site thats focused on Japanese happenings.
Gud thing DQ is on the top. I really liked DQ series and IX made gaming even better.
Hmm...dissidia got 10th. And miku got 5th. Besides those and possibly tales of vesperia, I'm not really interested in the rest.
Wii Sports Resort FTW!
poor Re5...
Japanese sales...lawl
Happy for Miku and Resident Evil being on there.
Blaze Blue is a really good game. Very underrated though by consumers
/cheers for miku!! she should be number 1!!
Not a surprising result in Japan.
Modern warfare 2 should be there.
While it is a vastly superior title to half of those in the list, it was a big step down from the first one on many aspects.
Uhm... No
Why is it called Biohazard 5? Does Japan not like the Evil part? lol
Dude... save for perhaps Monster Hunter and Biohazard, Japanese folk have shittier taste than I thought.
Hey, no Dream Club C?
Japan, xenophobic... M$, American company... obvious why it isn't on the list.
Royally depressing that the Wii is still selling.
I don't care about the list. I just find it funny 360 aint on it XD
fuck ds games and wii games.graphic too poor,games just for kids.too boring.although my little brother get boring playing ds
Xit box games sucks...
