Media Create published the latest hardware sales from Japan.
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Game Rant participates in the Megaton Musashi World Cup, checking out the game a little bit beforehand and winning the first round match.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
PSV > Wii U
Just for the sake of comparison the two most recently released IPs - Touikiden vs Pikimin 3 - the former trumps the latter in its first few weeks on sale. That's just the PSV sku too. Touikiden is now almost at 200K (PSV SKU).
Next week Wii U < 11K, guaranteed. Possibly even sub 10K. I would be very surprised if it hits 12K. So I guess we can now lay to rest the "Pikimin is a system-seller theory"? Oh, Wii U crossed 1 million in Japan though, so there is that to celebrate.
P.S. Why is M&L 4 so low? That's half the opening of the last entry.
I guess pikmin was not a system seller. Although sales wise I would say it had done o.k.
Valay, I approve your pieces because you don't add any fluff. It's just straight up fact. The amusement that comes from watching people trying to leverage said facts in the comment section (for whatever reason) is just gravy.
Honestly, the drop from Wii U wasn't as bad as I expected. Kinda thought it'd go back to below 10k to be honest.
I never expected Dream Team to beat Bowser's Inside Story in the first place. 3DS is at less than half of the sales that the DS was at when Bowser's Inside Story Launched. Of course Dream Team was gonna sell less. Expected it to at least pass 100k though.
Toukiden has some nice legs there though for a new IP and Youkai Watch is hanging in there too.
