What Japan Wants

zeldawii.jpgThe tides have shifted in Japan, it seems. A week after a
poll asking what Famitsu readers were most interested in during E3
showed a majority seeking more PS3 information, a new polling of
readers' reactions to E3 has been published and shows the readership's
overwhelming preference for one console in particular: the Wii. Nearly
69% of those polled said they looked forward to the Wii after its first
major reveal, compared to 21% favorably eyeing the PS3, just over 7%
the Xbox 360, and 3% looking forward to the DS' new showings.

There's good reason to believe the lowered support for the PS3 may have
something to do with its finally revealed price, the poll also showed
88.4% of respondents saying the console's price was too high. But,
despite their reservations, readers pointed toward Final Fantasy XIII,
Metal Gear Solid 4, and Monster Hunter 3 (which didn't make it to E3,
but which Capcom quietly announced during the week) as part of their
top 10 most wanted forthcoming games, with Zelda (the #1 most wanted
game), Dragon Quest Swords, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Mario
Galaxy, and the yet-unseen Resident Evil Wii game making the list in
Nintendo's stable, and, surprisingly, Halo 3 coming in at #10.
