same direction as always
exactly
the problems in the game industry are worldwide but I wouldnt give up japanese games for anything
who else is developing tales or devil survivor? or revelations or kid icaris or ninokuni or agarest
It was the best selling console in 2011, only because the wii is in decline due to a new product........the 3ds was number 1 overall in 2011
thats a fact. It takes nothing away from microsoft.
i own kinect
And since when has analyst talk been right about nintendo? EVER
oh and nobody wants elder scrolls or mass effect.................you see those meta user scores? abysmal ( a point finished later on)
And since when is fire emblem casual? is mario casual? or zelda? not really? they cater to the hardcore
internet trolling is as bad as its ever been ( point ended)...............
like I said before, the 3ds is number 1 in the worl...
thank god you only have 1 bubble..............
I bought the game and am not dissapointed.
So either
A) your generalizing
B) your generalizing
I know you like to say outragious things but if you actually had any idea about console positioning, the fact that its a side game, youd see its actually sold REALLY well.
It shows the brand power of FF is as strong as ever
silly boy ...
"Just like how the 360 became number 1 worldwide for 2011?"
I hate to break it to you but the 3ds was number 1 worldwide, in only 9 months time no less.
The 360 was the number 1 console but thats only because the wii is getting phased out ( in 2010 the wii was number 1)
The psp would also be ahead of it worldwide most years but it got phased out too.
Very fortunate for microsoft. Kudos
still way less than nintendo's I would imagine :)
@frank your calling me moronic?
since when is 14 months the right number?
“The best-selling hardware platform for the month was Xbox 360 for the seventh month in a row. While most hardware platforms posted declines versus last year, all current-generation platforms improved sales over January 2012 by more than 50 percent." - NPD's Anita Frazier
7 months aint 14..........
a generic game wont sell that much unless its duke nukem
Final Fantasy XIII-2 (PS3, 360)** 2 Square Enix Inc.
so much for haters............
I wonder how devil survivor 2 sold. I would love to know
I hope it did well I want a third
to be fair thats only in the US, not worldwide. Its a different story
3DS: 262K
an increase of 53 percent............ thats insanity considering the 3ds has already doubled up on ds first year sames.......and there is still march to go........
All I was saying is all games get mediocre reviews, but its up to the individual to see if they like it them selves. FF 13-2 has gotten plenty of 7,8,9 scores, so just try it.
Because Ive played the other 3 KH games this gen and had a ball.
Positivity
"Nintendo 3DS: 262,000, a 53 percent increase"
this is insane considering the ds didnt do this before a remodel
by saying "typical review", it makes you sound bad my friend. Its gotten just as many 7,8,9 as any other rpg these days.
Hell even mass effect 3 is getting its share of 7's and 8s
What I find is the golden age is different for each person. Quite frankly with kindgom hearts DDD coming out this month, I cant say anything bad about square.
eh, its too much effort, I dont play video games to speak or blow into mics. I almost blew a lung out playing zelda ds
I am not a fan of the single player action rpg 1 man kills ebverything in his path kind of rpg. Which makes skyrim and witcher quite similar.
sorry, Id take front mission, armored core, or gundam
I believe both industries have issues but I prefer japanese games by far.
They feel like games. Whimsy, mystical, fun
