Najpoznatiji japanski časopis za video igre Famitsu je objavio zvanične brojke o prodaji hardvera i softvera za 2012.
Interesantno je primetiti koliko i pored svih priča o približavanju japanskog i zapadnog game developmenta i dalje u top 10 igara u Japanu nema ni jedne igre koju je razvio zapadni studio niti objavio zapadni publisher.
