Media Create has published the latest software sales figures from Japan (top 30 sales, actual numbers for the top 30).

Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.

The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
Some interesting differences between Famitsu and Media Create here:
1) Mario Kart isn't in the top 10 according to Media Create (game came out of nowhere, by the way).
2) Final Fantasy XIII is fourth, not fifth, according to Media Create.
3) Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP the Best) isn't in the top 10 either.
Well, it might just be best to actually check out the Famitsu data, since there are a few other differences as well:

WHy the heck does Sonic vs. Mario sell so much, it got horrid reviews, I wouldn't think it would make it, I guess shows you reviews dont matter.
I'm sorry but comparing to sales of PS3 and Xbox 360 games the Wii and DS put together don't sell as much.
