also think about it dragon quest usually does between 300-500k in its first week of release in japan and moves systems.
for it to do only 33k upon release and barely helps move wii u speaks volumes.
@donnie
lol im not worried what anyone says or thinks. everyone who knows about dragon quest knows its a big game in japan and doing 33k is just horrible for that franchise over there.
they were just talking about japan not the worldwide numbers.
edit
i think it just has to do with the fact that even with a big game like dragon quest which is extremely popular in japan that it actually did horrible for its usually releases over there, and it didnt really help the wii u much.
nintendo needs to let people know what the system is all about and their failing to do that imo
i don't care what he or microsoft has to say the 360 is the last product i'll ever buy from this company.
nintendo and sony can take care of my gaming needs for the foreseeable future.
as of right now the system doesn't have that must have game i'm looking for, and until it does get that game along with a price drop i see no reason for me to pick the system up right now.
what planet are you from? i already made up my mind not to get Microsoft next console, but the PS4 will be day one.
there is nothing they can do now to get me to purchase their next console especially with all the bad press.
easy purchasing imo day one.
Dude WTH are you talking about useless i play my Vita all the time whether its connected to wifi, or not. when PSN went down i could still play offline.
like people here said connection is not 100% perfect especially here in the state, and you know this is true.
@allwrong below
i own a 360 (zero cool 108) and refuse to pay for LIVE. right now my decision not to purchase their next system seems to be the right one for me.
I already have cable and internet, all i want from these companies are games consoles.
i didnt ask my cable company to be a games player so i didn't ask these companies to become cables boxes i just want them to play games.
Im not paying someone else to use a service im already paying for, especially when said service can be used on so many other devices for FREE.
i have a 360 but i refuse to be robbed out of my own money for something that should be FREE.
thank you i haven't watched wrestling in a long, long time, and seeing this pic made me remember some great moments.
what i wanna know is what person is stupid enough to pay $15 a month for LIVE when they can just pay the one shot $60 for the year?
sometimes i wonder do people think things through before they throw their money at something.
i would never pay for a monthly subscription on a console or service when i can just buy the damn thing outright.
besides i'm not paying to play online when i already pay my cable provider for use of my online.
someone help me out i can't remember the name of this wrestlers pic.
what's funny is i beat it this sunday past, and ended up getting the trophy. i thought some patch was suppose to change it or something.
personally i love the trophy, and his sensitive opinion means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
as for the indie scene it's good that they are being embraced like the are for the upcoming gen.
i know i will.
@scissor
i'm looking for the premium model to be closer to $200-250. if not close to this price then it's going to be a long time before i buy one.
i still want a Wii U, but i'll wait till it gets a price drop here in the states and also have that most own Wii U game.
@knife
since you live and teach there, get to witness first hand how the culture is what do you make of majority of these comments here mostly from our American fellows stating otherwise?
the way the keep spouting incorrect facts is simply mind boggling. its pretty clear that Microsoft hasn't done the right things to actually do better in Japan.
if Japanese people only buy Japanese products why didn't they buy the Vita from the off? ...
i come to expect that way of thinking from most of my fellow americans, and that's really sad imo. majority of us just need to get over ourselves.
japan didnt buy 360 because it have interesting games that were gear towards their market. did microsoft really think shooters were going to be real big in japan?
what happened to support it with rpgs they like, after LO i really can't think of one other rpg after FF13 that was released on the console ove...
I don't have any problems with this as i loved part 3 for its craziness.
dude that is so tiring dont you guys have anything better else to say lol?
the article is right in saying that its not looking good for wii u in japan when one of its biggest and popular franchises only does 33k in week one, and barely helps the system that its on move units.
