360 makes up ground as well.
A poll conducted by Famitsu magazine has revealed that Japanese gamers prefer the Wii over the PS3 – but only just.
Of the approximately 1,600 people polled, 38.9 per cent said they prefer the Wii, whereas 30 per cent said they favour the PS3. The 360 trailed behind on 23.1per cent.
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.
considering how it's notorious for being allegedly unpopular in Japan.
that 23.1-percent of Japanese prefer Xbox 360 over Wii and PS3. I thought the number would be less than 10 percent.
Wow, either the poll numbers are incorrect or those that voted for 360 were lying. Wii is selling really good there, PS3 not too good and 360's situation is simply terrible but these number suggest that market for 360 shouldn't be that bad for 360 in Japan. Shocking indeed.
All these topics always put the PS3 in negtaive light
them numbers are probably just at the moment. no games that excite japanese people are released on the ps3 yet so thats not a surprise that the numbers are like that now.
