Some interesting differences between Famitsu and Media Create here:

1) Mario Kart isn't in the top 10 according to Media Create (game came out of nowhere, by the way).
2) Final Fantasy XIII is fourth, not fifth, according to Media Create.
3) Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP the Best) isn't in the top 10 either.

Well, it might just be best to actually check out the Famitsu data, since there are a few other differences as well:

Media Create is more wide I'm sure and has a wider audience and better tool for it's data. I read that somewhere.

04./04. [PS3] Final Fantasy XIII (Square Enix) – 112,000 / 1,802,000 (-41%)

Still strong, at this rate it'll hit 2m in 2 weeks

gaffyh6021d ago

I'm kinda surprised that FF13 sales are still over 100k. Every analyst only expects the game to sell 1.9 million MAXIMUM in Japan, but it looks like it's going to hit 2 million at least.

WHy the heck does Sonic vs. Mario sell so much, it got horrid reviews, I wouldn't think it would make it, I guess shows you reviews dont matter.

brand identity sells more then whether the game is good or not.

Case and point
gundam
naruto
bleach
any popular anime
sonic vs mario
dynasty warrior
etc

all get great sales on games even if they suck.

and games such as final fantasy, kingdom hearts and dragon quest, would sell well no matter what, because of the developer, or project lead. Put kojima, sakaguchi, myamoto as working on the title and it will sell, period.

"all get great sales on games even if they suck."

Doesn't this apply to every single country???

Some of the top selling games in the US are Maiden, ODST, wiisport..etc

Xi6021d ago (Edited 6021d ago )

but you're right, games like gran turismo sell well all over the world whether or not it's a 20 dollar demo.

durr I can stealth troll too.

Where do you get off calling ODST an expansion is had absolutely nothing to do with Halo 3 other then using same engine. Sure it had abit shared multiplayer content with quite a few added bonuses but thats it.

Logically it doesn't even make sense by your logic all the games below must be an expansion of Unreal Tournament 3.

1) 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand
2) Batman: Arkham Asylum
3) BioShock
4) Borderlands
5) DC Universe Online
6) Gears of War
7) Lost Odyssey
8) Mass Effect
9) Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
10) The Agency

And if your trying to imply the 5-7 hour campaign was MS ripping people off explain heavenly sword? That had about the same campaign length and no where near the amount of multiplayer goodness. Hell even Uncharted was worse value then ODST I don't see you complaining about that.

Uncharted 1 to be clear... Has nothing to do with blind loyalty people just know when they buy Halo they get a good/amazing game. Which is more to be said for alot of big selling franchise games.

aka expansion pack
wtf is wrong with you lol

Fair-Play6021d ago (Edited 6021d ago )

I tried explaining my opinion to you on the reasons it wasn't an expansion and yet you come back with some bloody wall of text insult. I gave you the benefit of not instantly assuming your some butt hurt fanboy but clearly you are.

So I won't bother trying to reason with you I will simply tell you to go blow a donkey.

Anyways JackOfFigAll go back to your little world where you believe you have the right to call anyone that buys halo a raving idiot. I mean its clear your the only idiot here.

I'm sorry but comparing to sales of PS3 and Xbox 360 games the Wii and DS put together don't sell as much.

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.

solideagle65d 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.

jznrpg70d 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.

Smellsforfree70d 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.

Loktai70d 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.
