@Inbetweener. Isn't it just? honestly,looks like a spin gone wrong. Can't believe people can even think to spin this news really.
I can imagine sales staying strong next week into the final rush for Christmas shoppers in Japan. Although it may not have as much of an effect as Christmas isn't as bad over in JP.
How can it sell 2 million+ is SE only shipped out 1.8 million?
Official Press Release by Square Enix: http://release.square-enix....
Well I'm not surprised. Why would you have DLC for DLC value gaming? It's highway robbery. Although that's something Microsoft are well and truly experts in don't ya' think?
Being honest, this goes to show how idiotic Square Enix were being about the 360 loyalty we saw. It just won't work and FFXIII's sales on it's first day have proved where there is money to be made with RPG's. Playstation Platforms and Handhelds.
At above. Although NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja Storms graphics were amazing, I'm sure the engine is completely compatible with the Xbox 360. It's not Uncharted 2 level technology. It's just a extremely well refined anime engine. That said, I don't think this new story has much fidelity. I mean there is no link, no pictures....
I'm assuming they're not counting units sold on online import retailers like Renchi,Play-asia and Yesasia, so that number could go up by 0.03 or more once more data comes in.
And comments like these show when people are talking completely out of their poo hole. FFX and FFXII each set graphical bars for RPG's at the time. Same with FFVIII and IX and to some degree VII on the PS1. Crisis Core and Dissidia on the PSP. Heck even the 2D aesthetics in FFI-VI were amazing for the time. FFXIII will do exactly the same again. Please don't gas so openly
I'm loving the idiotic comments saying that Bayonetta rips off DMC. For the last f*cking time people. Hideki Kamiya, the producer/creator of Bayonetta, is the same man that produced the first DMC and in fact created the series. So Bayonetta is not a rip off.
The game knocks socks, action wise off of GoW and DMC in terms of how well it's done and how much freedom and creative space you have. It's just a simple fact. Kamiya wanted to improve on the DMC formula he created and he did exact...
Mass Effect 2 is a TPS with RPG elements. It's not an RPG at it's core at all. It's more of a Sanbox TPS if anything. RPG shouldn't be used so loosely. Oblivion, Fable..Fallout...THOSE are WRPG's. Not Mass Effect.
And btw it will be FFXIII. I'm a huge FF Fanboy yes, but FFXIII will smash ME to bits.
I don't see what's wrong with SSFIV. All of the new features plus 10 new characters at a bargain price. Why complain? Obviously some noobs here are new to SF this gen as Capcom always do this. Each new numerical SF game marks a new series in the franchise. Why do you think SFIV was the first new numerical SF in about 10 years. SSFIV is a sequel more than it is an expansion. Fine tunes gameplay, add's a host of new and more sociable online modes, add's new gameplay features, new characters and...
I swear a lot of the people doubting Bayonetta need to sit down and play the game themselves. This game in terms of combat imo, puts DMC and Ninja Gaiden to shame in some respects as it's so free and you can do so much with it. It's definitely more style. Remember people, Kamiya..the creator of Devil May Cry did this game too...So you can compare them but your comparisons can only go so far as he's only trying to better the formula he's pretty much created....and he has topped himself.
It may do. Probably will. But UK is part of Europe, and as a whole the PS3 will outsell the 360. As will be the same in Japan. America I don't know but judging from the NPD pattern, the PS3 may have the edge. Sounds like I'm spinning but it's true. UK makes up a small faction of the EU territory.
MW2 will probably win as it's a multiplat game and more people have played it. It doesn't deserve it in the slightest as it brings nothing groundbreaking to the industry. It doesn't have the story telling or technical innovation that Uncharted 2 has but it will win silly because it's easier to comply to the norm -_-
You know what really makes me laugh. Is that bots a critisizing these sales figures yet they are superior to the awful sales JRPG's have been receiving on the 360. Hypocrisy at it's finest.
Xbots need to grow up and understand facts. Porting from 360 to PS3 is harder than PS3 to 360 so a quality drop is expecting. If devs bothered using PS3 as lead platform we wouldn't get so many problems.
The whole problem stems from multiplat development in general. You need to find a comfortable medium between the two systems so quality is sacrificed on both sides of the fence anyway.
Boast about multiplat game graphics all you want, but PS3 gamers are not the ones stuck in 2006 ...
GoBot pointed out something nice. BF:BC2 is coming out pretty much the same time. Your average 360 gamer will choose that over FFXIII over 80% of the time.
You make me laugh and cringe. I find out funny how uppity Xbabies are about sales when the only games that sell on this level on 360 are Halo, Gears and Call of Duty. Games like Tekken, Street Fighter, DMC, Resident Evil have all sold more on PS3 and to top that all sales of multiplat games, for the most part are pretty much equal on both systems. Nice damage control attempt though. It was cute.
