I wish the U.S.A had this many Anime mags. Smile

I'm seeing a ton of Nintendo/Famitsu mags but not one for Sony. That's really odd.

EDIT: Unless the Famitsu mags cover all three consoles (Wii/PS3/360). I expected something akin to PSM over there though.

Dengeki Playstation is on the list.

Famitsu has Famitsu PS. No idea why it's not on the list.

But Weekly Famitsu covers absolutely everything. It's the big one.

Famitsu PSP+PS3 went from monthly to quarterly in 2009, but it no longer even follows the quarterly schedule any more. The latest issue shipped last March. The Japanese Magazine Publishers Association listed the magazine's circulation numbers for 2009, when the magazine was still on a regular schedule.

Kind of odd that the PSP was the highest selling gaming system in Japan recently and there are so few magazines for it right now.

Ara Ara only 64k for Megami? Thats a shame, I like Megami.

Wish, it didn't cost so much to import magazines otherwise I'd subscribe to more than just Megami and Newtype. Crying or Very sad

From what I can tell they're still doing pretty well considering that they are pratcially the only anime magazine left in the U.S.

Also the the head editor Patrick Macias is getting more notice thanks to his new show otaku-verse zero.

Where is all the love for V-Jump, the almost exclusively Yugioh Magazine.

I'm surprised at the numbers for Dengeki Girl's Style and B's-LOG.

The only magazine I buy semi-regularly is Seiyuu Animedia. Too bad they don't list the numbers for Voice NewType, Voice Animage, or Pick-Up Voice. *obviously only buys seiyuu magazines*
