Not too many surprises on the list. Looking at the last year of Arcadia updates, certain games have remained high performing titles over the course of the time period. It is interesting however to see some "new" releases finally make their way onto the list. Shooting Love 2007, Kinnikuman Grand Prix 2, and King of Fighters Maximum Impact Regulation A are all newcomers to the Arcadia Magazine's top 10 listing.
Konami dominates the dedicated cabinet top 10 with their 6th release of Mah-jongg fight club and their Bemani releases. Sega's Sangokushi Taisen 2 has also jumped a few spots, probably in part due to the announcement at the AM show in September for the upcoming third game in the Sangokushi Taisen series.
I should be getting a top 5 report from another source in the next couple of weeks, so it will be interesting to see how the two compare since they use a different cross selection of arcades and judging criteria.
