Annual sales numbers for PYS and Netsu

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

This is what I can tell from this sales trend, since I am all about analyzing things. Namco games have a hardcore following that rarely changes. They don't lose fans, but they don't make them, either. The Konami games have increased greatly since 2004, though, and here's my theory. The years in which PYS got 50,000 more sales were years in which Pawapuro went to crap. I'm guessing these are angry Pawapuro fans who went somewhere else for their gaming needs. Expect the same with PYS4 on PS3 and PS2.
I'm going to do what I can to show off this game on YouTube when I finally receive it. Since the PS3 is region free, the potential for this fanbase to grow is very strong.
