It is true that the sample of users on which the survey is based is relatively small, but the audience of the historic Famitsu magazine is quite indicative of the tastes of the most assiduous players in Japan, so we can take its ranking as valid.
On the other hand, considering how this market is usually very aimed at internal productions, it is not even a small undertaking, for a product as purely Western as Cyberpunk 2077, the fact of being second in the ranking of most anticipated games in Japan.
It is also wedged between really high caliber titles: beyond the aforementioned Tales of Arise, the new chapter of the historic JRPG series by Bandai Namco which counts on a huge st role of fans at home, to follow after the RPG of CD Projekt RED we find Monster Hunter Rise for Nintendo Switch, another game destined to represent a real mass phenomenon, and also Resident Evil Village, which precedes Final Fantasy 16, no less .
