Taking his information from the pre-order figures, Yoshida-san noted that the most popular titles were the Western titles like Uncharted: The Golden Abyss and Everybody's which could indicate a shift in Japanese gaming tastes.

He explained: "Japanese people traditionally have a strong local preference, particularly with the Manga style look of characters that they love. But as technology and presentation advances in games like and Call of Duty, they are rightly seeing their quality."
