How to read these numbers
- Loose and CIB are never mixed. On many titles most of the gap lives in the box and manual.
- Sold vs. asking asymmetry. US prices come from PriceCharting, built from sold listings. Japanese prices are mostly shop and marketplace listings (asking prices), except where a sold median is noted — so every ratio is a guide, not gospel.
- Conversion is ¥150 = $1 throughout, the same rate used across the database.
- No US release? For Japan-only titles the US column shows the US import price of the Japanese version, labelled as such — that gap is mostly the import margin.
- Snapshot date: this database was generated 2026-11-13. Verify current listings before buying.
