Good numbers for Sony and Nintendo

ReBurn6354d ago

At least on the handheld side. The console side of the world is pretty pathetic in Japan. I guess the Wii is doing ok, but HD gaming is really suffering over there.

Danja6354d ago

nice everyone saw a really nice sales increase this week..

PSP is catching up on those DSi figures..

PS3 sales looking really solid ..same with the 360...'

and PS2 is like the energizer bunny..keeps on going..XD

user94220776354d ago

I'm amazed with the PSP sales.

Raoh6354d ago

nice numbers indeed.

and yeah.. the only way i see the ps2 dying is if sony announces ps2 emulation or some sort of backward compatibility into all ps3's

morganfell6354d ago

I have an earlier post on N4G predicting that is going to happen at E3 as part of the PS2 phase out.

PantherLotus6353d ago

I would love to see it happen, but I'm afraid PS2 BC is gone forever. Our only hope is to be able to download PS2 games from PSN, similar to Virtual Console.

Hey, it could happen!

belal6354d ago

but still the ps3 is killing it :P will be interesting to see i f 360 can maintain these numbers for a while, same goes for the ps3 :)

Danja6354d ago

the PS3 will have a really good 1st quarter in Japan

WKC is still selling well
FFV11 : Advent Children next month
Yakuza 3 : Bundle
RE:5 Bundle
SFIV

Sarcasm6353d ago

If FFXIII really truely stays exclusive to the PS3 in Japan. Then there will be no more silly arguments of 360 vs PS3 in Japan for hardware. And then when Gran Turismo 5 hits, the lead will be extended even further. However I'm not sure what other titles down the pipe line will have those kind of sales numbers afterwards though.

Anybody else know what huge franchise the Japanese will gobble up?

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.

solideagle35d ago

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

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg41d ago

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.

Smellsforfree41d ago

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.

Loktai40d ago

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.
