The well known Market Intelligence and Research Company "ABI Research" has forecasted that Next Gen Sales (PS4, Xbox One, Wii U) would Fall Short of Current Gen (PS3, Xbox360, Wii). However we disagree.
Available right now on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC is the latest from a prolific KEMCO team - Horrific Xanatorium; a horror Visual Novel
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.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
TopSpin 2K25 Review - After a very long hiatus, TopSpin is back! Can Hangar 13 bring the venerable tennis series back to relevance?
You people do realise that if any side has to be proven right we have to wait 5 years :P
I agree with the article, if my circle of friends/family is anything to go by then this gen will be one of the most popular yet, especially with China now fully in the game. Any how, we'll have to wait 5 years to see what happens, it's all just meaningless speculation at this point.
so not accurate. Generation after generation has followed a very specific format, with only the most recent gen breaking the cycle by having all 3 brands stay healthy. theres literally no reason to believe (based on the statistics alone) that this even more affordable coming gen will slow down for any reason.
"without solid titles and first party franchises.."
do you think previous IPs have just disappeared, orrrr?
console numbers will hit new records next generation for every brand other than nintendo, which will probably still have a leg to stand on throughout the gen due to its handheld sector.
It should be noted that the current day consoles sales numbers didn't explode until 2008 or 2009 (I'll find a graph later) especially when it comes to the PS3. So I wouldn't expect it to be massive out of the box, although a lot of people I've talked to are hyped for both systems so who knows.
We'll get final results in 5 years.
The Wii pushed the numbers higher by the fact that many non gamers bought one so it`s hard to say if they will hit the sales numbers after 5 years with the Wii U being kind of out of the picture.
If we compare only the first 5 year sales of 360+PS3 I`m certain that the Xbone+PS4 will sell more in 5 years.
