Like many companies in the market, Sony's attitude toward the economy seems best described as cautious optimism. SCEA sales and marketing VP Ian Jackson has been calling up retailers and hearing solid things, he said at BMO Capital Markets' Interactive Entertainment Conference yesterday.
"Our retail partners... I think if you were to call them in the last week or so, while they are hesitant and concerned somewhat about where the economy is going, actual unit numbers that are coming out of the video game sector are actually doing fairly well right now," he 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
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.
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.
If sony could get developers to do PS2 version of Wii titles, then drop the PS2 price considerably, then the PS2 can remain viable for some time to come, and actually help the PS3 out a bit.
In fact, as its open platform now, you don't even need any permission to release a title for the ps2 - you just do it.
Sony would be wise to turn the PS2 into a wii. Give it a motion controller and put some casual games on it. Idk, just an idea.
Or they could kill it off and support the PS3 which might be a good idea.
That's 1 SEXY Main Photo at the Top, just LOOK at that SEXY PS2 Pad!!! ;-D
Ahh the PS2!!! ;-P AMAZING Console like the PS1 + PSP + Now the PS3!!! ;-P
or atleast tell the devs to stop making games for it.
I don't know really, only Sony knows what they are really doing, I mean they won two consoles wars in a row SO THEY MUST KNOW how to IMPROVE THE SALES OF THE PS3.
I think Sony has to kill off PS2 in order to focus on PS3!!
Then and only then can the PS3 truly take off. I understand that the PS2 is a constant source of revenue for Sony, but they would do better if the focus was on the PS3!!!
edit : yeah kinda of like Shadow said
