It does seem a little odd that there are Four First Person Shooters and only one RPG - especially since this list is supposed to encompass the entire world and not just the US.

Actually, now that I look a little closer, there's a surprising amount of Western games, which is also surprising considering Japan's role in video gaming over the years. It looks like the non-Western games in that list are -

- Super Mario 64
- Street Fighter II
- Space Invaders
- Super Mario Kart
- Super Mario Bros. 3
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- Metal Gear Solid
- Pac-Man

When 3 of the 8 Japanese games are Mario games and two of them are Space Invaders and Pac-Man, it seems like they could have evened things out with the Western games a little more. There absolutely should have been a Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest in there and Pokemon RBY instead of Pokemon Go. Super Metroid of Castlevania SotN would have also been excellent options. Skyrim probably would be a better choice than Dark Souls for a Western RPG.

There's also not a single Sega game anywhere on that list.
