I just got an SOE email about this today. There's no mention as to what the disbursements are, specifically, but free stuff is always nice.

It will come. Temco Koei even did a totally stealth release of Atelier Totori + and we have gotten every Ninja Gaiden Vita port, so this is a shoe in.

I doubt if a PSP version will surface though, I imagine only the Vita one will make it to EU NA.

Wow, take a niche, Japanese game that has built up a loyal fanbase over the years, strip out everything campy, familiar and cool about the series and turn the main character into an emo-a$$hole and somehow it doesn't sell?

Who would have thought?

P.S. Any fan of the series - myself included - was shouting from the rooftops that this was going to happen, but Capcom and the Ninja Theory enamoured journalists tried to convince everyone ot...

Tablet and iPad sales are through the roof, and those don't come with retailer/ telecommunication markdowns and contracts. We're talking $250-500 pieces of tech with arguable usefulness. If a device is compelling, people buy it. Period. The Wii U isn't compelling, a more attractive price won't do anything without software either, so Nintendo is in a bit of a pickle till they sort that out.

What happened with MHU and Lego Batman boosting HW sales? If you listened to the N4G Nintendo pundits, those titles moved boxes like gangbusters.

That's quite a dreadful number if its true too, as the March HW tracking is a 5 week period, I believe.

Actually, this could be who is handling the Planetside 2 > PS4 port. There's nothing that says SOE has to be doing it, any internal studio could technically move assets around.

FPSes aren't my thing, but if Sony launched the PS4 WITH Planetside 2 PRE-INSTALLED, it could be a major coup for the CoD crowd on their platform.

I politely disagree. I'm waiting for them to patch Sorcery with standard PS3 controls. I find Move more precise than the Wii or Kinect, but no less finicky or irritating to use. I gave motion control a fair shake, waggle and flail - pun intended - but its just not for me.

READ the article. They're stocks are up because the Japanese dollar (Yen) is so low. It has nothing to do with their products selling, only that those products are worth more on foreign markets. They still missed all of their - revised - shipment targets. I guarantee. And we should have those results soon

Amazon told me that TLG was coming out in 2012 too. What happened?

Retailers list placeholder dates ALL the time.

The desperation is reaching critical levels. The Wii U can't offer anything that the PS4/ Nextbox can, its technology has shut it out of real next-gen development. The best it will get are ports of last gen PS3/ 360 games, and those are only the ones that the AAA publishers can be bothered to bring over. Still no GTA announcement either, mind you, and that will crush any 3rd party offering that the Wii U could ever hope to have.

@mcstorm. If you were actually following metrics you would see that its TRACKING under Gamecube sales. Sales dropped off a cliff after the Nintendo diehards bought the system, period, and they've hardly moved since. Neither the PS3 nor the 360 sold so poorly after release, so stop touting that "SOLD MOARZ IN 3 MONTHS!!!", cause it's barely sold anything SINCE the launch rush, and I guarantee that Nintendo will miss its REVISED forecast.

Why is this news? Everyone has known this since the first Xbox next leak. Same CPU as the one found in the PS4 APU, different GPU component (weaker).

Bloomberg is seriously late to the party.

Let me correct that for you. The general public are not willing to shell out for current gen tech that lacks any of the compelling 3rd party software available on cheaper, more infrastructure rich consoles.

Not to mention that the casual crowd who will buy anything that tickles the right itch of advertising, must-haveness and lemming behaviour sees nothing compelling about Nintendo's tablet. Its a console version of a DS. Except the two screens are out of synch with a na...

The original rumour, was posted on April 1st. They're just making a story out of it now.

4716d ago 5 agree6 disagreeView comment

They're making an article out of a Chinese poster pulling an April Fool's joke. It was shot down and the OP on Neogaf was ridiculed for his stupidity.

Edit: Also from a technical and financial standpoint, it makes no sense to have 2 APUs, when you could just build a less costly, less hot single APU solution and get better performance. The gains made with dual GPUs (or APUs) don't scale linearly, so it wouldn't be a straight 33% increase. Plus they'd be ma...

"3-4-5" Dedicated "mobile" games, handheld ones are in a different stratosphere, as far as I'm concerned. Physical controls and the average production value is much higher than an Android/ iOS game. But, OUYA only does Droid/ iOS ports, hence why I never mentioned handheld games as there's very little crossover, SE and the occasional DS port aside.

There is no real market for this product. People that want "dedicated" mobile games have tablets, Android and iPhones with HDMI out and any number of compatible controllers.

This is a niche within a niche product.
