Adventure Forums - View Single Post - Will LA Noire make adventures mainstream again, or was it just a failed experiment?

I have 247,000 copies of Hotel Dusk sold - which is completely staggering:

Yes, the Japanese love playing adventure games on their Nintendo DS systems - which benefits me greatly. I buy Japanese Nintendo DS adventure games.

Here's another that really shows a HUGE gap in america: Prof Layton and the Unbound Future:

190,000 sales in America alone and 2 million 275,000 thousand total. THAT is a staggering difference over the PC selling 12,000 copies of Gray Matter world wide.

So:

1) Adventure games are among the very best selling games sold today.

2) LA Noire is a best selling game - regardless of genre.
