DS Lite continues to roll on while PSP slowly falls back to where it was before the launch of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core. Japan also continues to show it's not a console country anymore, handhelds control the gaming world of Japan, not consoles. It should be noted 360 sales quadrupled since last week with the launch of Halo 3 but it was not enough to break the five digit barrier.
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.
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.
the PS3 over take the Wii. It'll be interesting to see how the White 40GB does when its released.
yea with a price cut it probably would take the wii. xbox 360 has officially bombed in japan and nothing will probably change that. They completely killed in the US way beyond my expectations.
i feel sorry for 360 fans in japan, ? infact i feel sorry for about just every 360 fan because they have no worthwhile or diverce game libuary
What sales week is this? I thought Famitsu had PS3 and 360 sales even both with 7-8k
agreed IMO ps3 has the most diverse library of games but if sony dosent ramp up the sales a lot of those diverse games wnt see the light of day.
