If you're interested to hear which games are most wanted by gamers based in Japan, then a new poll by magazine Famitsu has you covered.

As you can see below, Persona 5 is by far the hottest game of the moment (if you add PlayStation 3 and 4 together), followed by Final Fantasy XV and Bravely Second: End Layer.

These are all Japanese RPGs and there are a lot of them further down the list as well. The most popular format in Japan seems to be PlayStation 4 with nine entries on the list, versus eight for Nintendo 3DS.
