Blackice Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I'd just like to add that I'm pretty excited about LittleBigPlanet, too. It's more of a family/creative game, so I wouldn't expect to see much talk about it here, where people tend to enjoy FPS and action games more. That's actually why I like it so much - it's less mainstream, and more fun. It's been a long time since games where just fun - without being explosive graphics showcases. LBP's graphics are awesome, but they add to the game more than define it (one of my big worries with KZ2). I'd buy a Wii for the fun games, but the control system is just stupid. There's a fine line between innovative and idiotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a fine line between innovative and idiotic. The wii controller is actually awesome for shooting games. Try Resident Evil 4 for the Wii. You'll think that the game was meant to be played with the wii remote and nunchuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biohazard (RE) Zero did better than I expected considering the little effort Capcom did to port it. Pretty much all profit for them, perhaps we'll see more ports of the other RE games for the Wii.

Guest Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Xbox seems to be consistently increasing in sales every week... Didn't expect that after how badly it did last time around. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted August 1, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted August 1, 2008 More Japanese dev support is the clear sign that the 360 is doing better. Sure it's not that great, but then again games sell systems. On another note, the MGS4 effect has ended, it did manage to sell pretty well in Japan, probably around 800k or a bit over by now, but it didn't do much for overall PS3 sales. Just shows what I've though, MGS is big in NA mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman273 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 There's not even a specific game that's driving it, though. That's weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaPrime Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Just shows what I've though, MGS is big in NA mostly. Well I mean it's big in Japan too, one of the biggest selling 'hardcore' franchises. MGS4 even had a better attach rate in Japan than in NA. It's also still selling quite well in Europe. It's just that a lot of the MGS fanbase already owned a PS3. 360 bump is rather interesting. I mean it's not that much, but percentage wise it's fairly big (compared to what it was doing a few months back). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted August 1, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well what I mean is that if you look at the numbers for the older MG and MGS games, they seem to sell less with each new version in Japan. That's what I remember seeing anyways. That's not to say it didn't sell well, I take 500k and higher as a success for any game really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I remember seeing anyways. That's not to say it didn't sell well, I take 500k and higher as a success for any game really. It's actually fairly on par with the other MGS games in Japan, especially when you consider the smaller userbase this time around. Last known numbers: MGS1 - 674,000 MGS2 - 789,000 MGS3 - 819,000 MGS4 is currently at 622,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I see a lot of Japanese playing COD4 online late at night (when it would be their day there). I guess a large percentage of 360 owners there play COD4 :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 8, 2008 A slow week for the PS3 and 360 by the looks of it. I wonder how much the 360 will sell this month due to Tales of Vesperia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted August 9, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted August 9, 2008 I'd think ToV should sell more than 70k, I think LO sold 80k when it was release. We'll just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
