PS3 back down to regular levels in Japan eh? But what's this? A third party Wii game in the top 10!

06. Winning Eleven Play Maker 2008 (Konami) – 36,000 / New Entry

If that is the Real Time Sports soccer game, I hope it sells really well everywhere

there has been a few of them.  the problem is publishers spend about 25 bucks or so on marketing and development release the game... it sells poorly then they cry foul.  wtf.

Down in my local game shop here in Tokyo, Winning Eleven is flying off the shelves....all 5 copies of the game were sold out! (joke)

I really hope it does well, Wii sports games need to get a whole lot better than they are now.

Could this point and click control style work in an American "Football" game?

I use the term football lightly, because - you know - they use their hands most of the time...  :P

You use the term because it's the name of the game, it doesn't matter if it makes logical sense. It probably wouldn't work too well for American Football, but I think EA's got a great way of doing that already. It still needs some tweaking, but it's good. What I would would love to see is a hockey game with that method of control. That should work well since hockey and soccer have a lot of similarities.

Hockey.

Please hockey.

Hockey needs Wiimote controlled melee combat.
