Media Create has published the latest hardware sales from Japan. The PSP has overtaken the 3DS.
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
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
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.
PSP is a monster in Japan! But this will never happen outside that small island, that's a guarantee.
.
A 14.000 difference against 3DS...
What the hell happen?
Besides the nuclear crisis that is.
Nintendo domination is coming to a close... Bye bye Nintendo.
PSP beating 3DS and i doubt things will change in the following weeks until a major games come out. I didn't think it would happen this fast though.
Sony's dominating Japan at the moment
PSP outsold 3DS (2 weeks in a row now)
PS3 outsold Wii (this will be permanent)
PS2 outsold 360...again (lol)
3DS sales should pick up once the big titles hits, though the Zelda remake will not be much of a system seller. Nintendo really made a big mistake relying on third parties for their 3DS launch. They need Mario Kart out asap.
A PS2 game ranked sixth on the charts really shows the credibility of the 10 years life cycle of Sony Playstations. The PS3 should be able to reenter the Top 10 on its 10 year too.
