The calm before the storm. Sales seem to be a repeat of last week with no major changes, DSL and PSP down, Wii and PS3 up, 360 down 50%. The next few weeks we are sure to see these numbers rise quite substantially, especially Wii as Super Mario Galaxy is about to launch
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.
<--- Japan's powar!
wow the 360 is just dead in japan.
I mean this was the 360's peak, and all it could do was just come a lil bit close to the ps3 sales just to fall 50 percent down again.
that's sad.
I think ms might abandon japan fully lol.
they better hope they don't lose europe, cause then they're in a huge problem.
wow the ps3 is gaining on the wii.
the difference now is not 7 to 1 or 5 to 1 or 2 to 1, just 7,000.
wii is just gonna tear things up with mario.
360's sales went down due to Elites sold out during the previous week. I anticipate another spark during sometime November when they have more elites
The DS have seen a big decline in sales if I remember they used to sell around +120.000 now they have been around 70-80.000, in the other hand the PSP seem to be going back to its usual 50-60.000
the most surprising number are the PS3s with 17.000 when before they barely got passed the 10.000, its almost doubling sales in the region
It would be interesting to see the PS3 sales when more games come out in Japan
