Analysts across the globe are coming forward to state that Sony's 20GB PlayStation 3 price-drop in Japan has more to do with the might of the Wii than it does the threat of the Xbox 360.
Senior analyst for consumer electronics at Isuppli, Chris Crotty, has said he believes that Sony is scared of the Wii's potential - "I am wondering if this announcement has more to do with Wii and how strong the console will be in Japan. If you look at the controller and some of the content you see some unique features and it is much easier to develop content for the Wii than the PS3," Crotty said.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
well duh. what analysts call worrying most normal people would call competing.
because of competition, prices are cut and companies with try to out do each other. at the end, the consumers usually win.
The Wii blows the PS3 out of the water in Japan. If you don't believe me look at what people are searching for in Japan: http://www.google.com/trend... The Wii wins the 360 is second and the PS3 is barely visible.
Because no one else did. Come on it's Nintendo! How could you not like em so many great games and so trying to find what's fun in the gaming world and always trying something new. Boo-ya!
Seriously I don't play Kiddie games anymore, sure Mario and Pokemon were fun to play years ago, but games like Goldeneye, and Perfect dark helped me grow out of those games.
