I think revealing a console first or second does not means anything in the long run. It may get you the initial hype and sales BUT a few years down the road gamers wont be buying a console based on the fact which was revealed first. Similarly, releasing a console first or second does not means much in the long run too. People buy consoles for games and services they provide. I bought a PS3 because of the exclusives, good hardware and free online. I did not buy an XBOX because of its notorious...
It has been maybe the longest at least one of the longest generations ever. The market has become saturated. What do you expect? It is cycle that is true for all successful products in business world,
1) Introduction of a product.
2) Period of rapid growth and sales.
3) Period of stable sales.
4) Period of falling sales.
5) Introduction of a successor.
However, some people are taking it as a sign of death of console gaming as w...
Nvidia is just bitter that hey did not get the contract from Sony for the GPU/CPU for PS4. That is why they have been spouting this hate towards PS4 and Sony. If Sony had hired them to make the GPU/CPU then Sony and PS4 would have the best in the world even with the same specs that have been announced. Greedy and butthurt businessmen!
If Donte said something neutral about that mop style like "looks nice" or "not bad" then they it would have gone a lot easier with the original fans. Instead NT outright says that the original Dante looked stupid and the original fans are outdated fools for liking him.
Great news for Ni No Kuni, its developers, its publisher and its fans. Hopefully we can have more games like it in the future as well. As for DmC, I hope it teaches CAPCOM a lesson that they should not forget. EA also learned the same lesson with Dead Space 3. Basically, DO NOT MESS WITH THE ORIGINAL FANS OR YOU ARE GONNA PAY!!

I think you just proved his theory. He said that if you will play the XBOX360 often, it will only last 2 years. You played often and yours died after 2 years and 4 months.
Looks like they are maintaining the Japanese essence of the game and not westernizing it. I am glad that they decided that way. I am tired of all the westernization and the insecurity of Japanese developers. I really have craved good Japanese games this gen which are not ashamed of their Japanese heritage and do not pretend to be western.
I agree; it will refresh the game and also silence the media that has been bashing this game. Regarding Ascension, I do not care what the media says. It is up to the consumer to decide if he likes the product/service or not. Media can praise or bash all it wants. If the consumer hates it then that is it and if the consumer loves it then that is it. Just like it happened with DmC; the media praised it but the gamers did not buy it.
There have only been three uncharted. The last one came in 2011. The series has been on hiatus since then. The same happened with Resistance; it is over now with only three games. The games I mentioned are all still going on or were recently released. I agree with Ratchet and Clank with you after checking the number of games but I have never played even a single game from that franchise so I didn't knew anything about it.

I dont know why the media is out to get GOW when numerous sequels, prequels and reboots get released each month. Nobody complains about Forzas, Halos, Gears of Wars, Marios, Zeldas and Assasins Creeds. This is only the second GOW title this gen and media is going crazy over it.

DmC benefited from the reboot?? How? By bombing so hard? LOL! I dont know why the media is out to get GOW when numerous sequels, prequels and reboots get released each month.

Pachter also says the Wii U is doomed and XBOX 720 will be more expensive than PS4 and it will focus on media functionality more than games. It means those must be true as well if you believe Pachter so much, right?
"Balletic" combat. Just wow... It is as if these guys never played the original DMCs. I cant understand why the media is so taken in by this mediocre game. Still praising it after it flopped so hard.
@Ryder49
Yes, sales have completely stagnated and the game sold barely 12,000 units globally in its sixth week. Hell, it got outsold by Bioshock, a game that was released 5 years ago. MGR which is also a HnS game outsold its lifetime sales in the first week by selling 794,000 units. CAPCOM had to lower their SHIPPED target to 1.2 million from 2 million by the end of their fiscal year in March even though they had already SHIPPED 1 million for launch. By the look of things, the way sal...
They intended to release a sequel but after the sales bomb they are trapped in a limbo themselves. Anyway, I am baffled by the denial of the media to acknowledge that their highly reviewed game flopped so hard. "much anticipated followup??" Are you serious?? Maybe that is why the game has not even sold 650,000 by now. /s
What is this reviewer talking about!?
"to remind gamers just why they loved DmC so much in the face of competition from Tomb Raider and Metal Gear Rising."
"inevitable sequel"
"The game had to fight against one of harshest (and undeserved) popular pre-reception of any game this generation and managed to overcome it with arguably the strongest experience of the series yet"
The game was a HUGE flop...
Nice to see Sony hardware doing great as especially PSVita. At least now Nintendo fanboys cannot say that Vita is selling just as poor as Wii U to make themselves feel good about their purchase. LOL! Whenever there was a discussion or article about Wii U selling badly, Vita's sales were inevitably brought up by them.
Edit: Trunkz Jr just proved what I said; although it was in a positive sense this time since Vita has started selling.
