Famitsu magazine has unveiled the PlayStation 3's best selling games of all time, and it looks incredibly varied ... if you consider two out of five games being Dynasty Warriors varied.
Koei's DW series has always been a hot commodity in Japan, but the list does look rather dismal, to say the least. Here's the top five, including lifetime sales as of November 16:
1. Metal Gear Solid 4 - 671,706
2. Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds - 408,175
3. Dynasty Warriors 6 - 371,443
4. Dynasty Warriors: Gundam - 317,580
5. Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 - 316,533
That's ... quite a list. I'd congratulate Metal Gear Solid 4 for topping the list, but looking at the competition, it'd be like congratulating Stephen Hawking for beating a retard at Scrabble.

MGS4 has supposedly sold over 3.5 million worldwide as of like two months ago. It's set to pass MGS3's sales (~4 milion) shortly, so that's no really bad at all.
The list is still sad, though. PS3 just needs more RPGs for Japan to jump on the Sony wagon. What happened between the PS2 generation (the most RPGs available on one system ever) and this generation?
Step it up, Sony!
I hate the Japanese market sometimes.
oh shit I said it
I KNOW!
I picked up HSG last month as my GF and I wanted to play some golf as Wii golf is utter shit and when I saw that price still at $59.99 I threw up all a little in my mouth.
Fun game though.
No i thought this was a list for Hungry. Figure you sell another 500k then that is 1 million copies sold in japan!
The have different tastes, it's pretty stupid to say this list is sad , let's see :
MGS3 sold the same amount in the same time on PS2 wich had a bigger install base .
The other games on the list aren't surpises, all those belong to sagas that the Japanese people love.
Remember that GTA 4 and lots of best selling games in US were released there.( wich didn't sell well there, and in the logic of this article ... are retarded games then )
So the only thing i see here is Americans making fun of Japanese taste in viedogames.
Blue Dragon - 203.740

Side note... Valkyria Chronicles should totally be on that list. Why do people refuse to buy it!? :(
