KOTAKU JAPAN: Famicom's Findings

famicomdata.jpg

Don't you just love the venerated Japanese game mag, Famitsu? They're writers aren't merely writers, but "experts." (Not sure what that makes me then. A stable boy?) Gaming's past 20 years has been researched and posted by those smarty pants at Famitsu.com.

The findings? Well, the market has grown considerably since Nintendo put the first Famicom on the market. Uh, no duh. Famitsu also pointed out that the DS and PSP have energized the island country's game business, and the same is expected from the upcoming next-gen machines. But, it is difficult to determine the true market size, as the keitai games aren't included. Then again, neither is the X-Box really. Whoot!
