So happy to see Ni No Kuni doing so well :D

Ezz20134105d ago

look at the pre orders for god of war ascension too

NewMonday4105d ago

It will be a great success if NiNoKuni dose over 1 million in the west, that is enough to prove a good core JRPG has a market.

Knight_Crawler4105d ago

Why is Ni No Kuni on the article picture when Bioshock is number 1?

Blastoise4105d ago

Because it's impressive to see a game like Ni No Kuni in the charts.

We all knew Bioshock & GTA V were gonna be huge sellers, but these days a new IP JRPG could have easily bombed

Godchild10204104d ago (Edited 4104d ago )

It could also be because it a great game and that it came out the week of these preorder charts.

DA_SHREDDER4105d ago

I hope aliens sells well on the ps3

EddieNX 4105d ago

no.8 - 129,686 people determined not to get the definitive wiiu version with authentic Aliens Motion tracker.

BanBrother4105d ago

Yes, but you'd be lucky to find a MP game for the Wii U. That is a big selling point when a game releases on the PS3, 360 and Wii U. At least the population will be strong on the two 'main' consoles.

I do agree that tne Wii U version is the best version to get IMO, as I'd love the motion tracker on the pad. I'll wait and see anyway. As much of a fan as I am of Aliens, I cannot justify this over some of the other games coming out, especially since none of the footage has really been suprising.

insomnium24105d ago

You seem hurt over that.

Nice numbers for NiNoKuni indeed. I have my pre-order in but that doesn't effect those numbers.

MysticStrummer4104d ago

Does playing the definitive WiiU version require buying a WiiU? Yes? Oh well that explains it.

Hicken4104d ago

Try not to be such a transparently blind fanboy, will you?

I'm shocked Gears isn't in the top 10 for the US

EvilFluff914105d ago

Finally! Some variety, looks like people are getting bored of Military Shooters, these are the type of games that deserve our attention and money. :)

lovegames7184105d ago

in response to kingofwiiu.....

Yeah like your def. version of bo at 1080p native and no elite service lol
Your definitive batman tht looks and performs worse thn currrent gen system
And other multiplat offerings missing key components on wiiu but you do have trine 2 hahaha

After reading the negatives of colonial marines such as terrible character animations , shiny albeit beautiful backgrounds that look fake , aliens tht are bullet sponges and terrible dialogue i might pass because it looks like its going to be hyped up mediocrity like duke nukem was.

As for Gow lol we knew tht beast would be there and based off the tech analysis of the sp demo this game is even more beautiful thn gow3 .

Im happy ni no kuni is up there especially since its a great jrpg (im currently in desert) and i love this game.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg23m ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7210m ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
