Kotaku and Japanese videogame magazines

di Frankie (01/20/2010 - 01:03)


Cult blogger Brian @Kotaku wrote an interesting post about the circulation numbers for domestic video games magazines released byThe Japanese Magazine Publishers Association.

Kind of funny how the "Association" forgot GameLabo that with its 200.000 copies is the second best selling videogame magazine in Japan (and it even runs my very own monthly column ^_^)! Another interesting missing title is Tech Gian (the best selling magazine about hentai videogames) published by Enterbrain with a circulation of over 100.000 copies...


Title: Weekly Famitsu
Publisher: Enterbrain
Circulation: 500,000 <-- Really?! ROTFL (real sales are less than half but the magazine is still influential as it's read, not bought, in thousands of Convenience stores around the Country)


Dengeki Nintendo DS
ASCII Media Works
160,000


Famitsu PSP+PS3
Enterbrain
150,000
