Famitsu published its estimates for the latest Japanese hardware/software sales.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Activision and Raven Software's 2006 action role-playing game, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, has found its way to the Xbox Store.
Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem
I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.
Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.
Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.
The new Nintendo-focused emulator for the iPhone is now available with support for several classic systems.
Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
The 3DS seems to be doing pretty well right now. However, I do wonder how the PSP is almost on par sales wise with the PS Vita? Does that mean the PSP is still going strong over in Japan?
3DS – 51,930 units
PS3 – 14,297 units
Vita – 11,544 units
PSP – 10,627 units
Wii – 6,654 units
Xbox 360 – 711 units
DSi – 455 units
PS2 – 474 units
PS2 is actually doing out, for the longest time the PS2 was over 1k, it's dying out.
I think what's more sad is the japanese are actually waiting for the wii-u.
It astonishing to see the 3DS do so well with the 3DSLL (3DSXL US/UK) right around the corner. These are the total numbers so far as of last week.
3DS 68,914 (-4%) 6,444,561
PSV 24,727 (+84%) 794,891
PS3 16,987 (+12%) 8,289,116
PSP 10,542 (+14%) 19,041,875
Wii 6,755 (+5%) 12,460,856
DS 1,310 (-18%) 32,958,592
X360 1,029 (0%) 1,594,307
As you can see, the 3DS is already catching up to the PS3 in a little over a year, which makes me think that its going to be another success in Japan. The Vita however, continues to struggle with minor peaks here and there. As long as the PSP continues to have the support that it does, Japan will continue to support it. It's great that there is still some major support with the PSP, (Time Travelers, which is a multi-console release 3DS/PSP/PSVita), but makes it difficult to justify a purchase on Vita, when it's available on two cheaper handhelds. I could see why it's also on 3DS, as the 3DS is the competitor, but putting it on PSP makes me wonder why Sony would want to compete with the Vita.
