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
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
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.
Where's cool guy Torrance Davis???? Yea that wanna be journalist.... please go put this on your next episode of "Warzone" a.k.a Talk sh1t that I have no clue what I'm talkig abouy just for the sake of it... just like your crappy article on Bioshock not coming to the PS3 and how it was confirmed 3 days later LMAO.
Here is the cloest estimation we can get of worldwide software sales and they aren't that far off.
Wii: 3,337,041
PS3: 1,145,696
360: 1,297,860
The almost TWICE-as-old Xbox 360 is the software King?????????? Xbox 360 sales OMG RIDICULOUS amounts of software??? Hmmm... yea your just talking for the sake of it. Xbox 360 is losing in software sales to the PS3 in every country all over the world excpet America(and it wont be winning there in a year or two)
The LARGEST SOFTWARE COMPNAY IN THE WORLD- BY FAR....EA's software sales ending March 31, 2008:
"On a GAAP basis, EA's PS3 software net revenues were $152 million, a year-on-year increase of 192 percent during the quarter ended March 31, the firm said in its earnings report. Xbox 360 software sales grew 56 percent, reaching $128 million, while lower-priced Wii software grew 108 percent to $75 million."

See the truth is Torrence Davis, your living in a delusioned, fairy tale world... where Xbox 360 has a high atach rate because its selling OMG SOOO MANY GAMES... not because of how POORLY the console hardware is selling....especially to already be priced at 200$ in Europe and 250$ in America.
Torrence Davis... PROVE the Xbox 360 is selling so much more more software than the PS3...... O WAIT... YOU CAN'T.... You're a LIAR.
