Vita is decent sales? 20K? Really? I dont even think 3DS sold decently.

3DS though will rebound next week with DQ. Everything else? not so much

NihonjinChick3730d ago

For the moment? That's pretty good. Hardware sales are going to pretty low for everything. There haven't been that many major releases to make a certain system move an extraordinary amount of numbers.

I suspect that Dragon Ball Z and Final Fantasy helped a little though.

Holidays are over, what do you expect -_-

Mackonthemoon3729d ago

20K isn't a decent amount? Do you know how many people that is? Imagine a group of 20,000 people. Don't compare it to the big numbers xb1 and ps4 are putting out. For a system that's been out for a while 20,000 is a good number.

DualWielding3729d ago

Also we are talking Japan, PS4, Xbone numbers are from U.S/Canada combined. Japan only have about a third of U.S. population

Yep3730d ago

Yeah, nothing really decent about this week. Wii U is back below 10K and everything else went down as well. PS3 is the only one that has stabilized.

US console sales have been universally going down as well. But that's to be expected when there aren't too many games coming out until feb.

Dragon Ball didn't exactly set the charts on fire. Interesting how the Vita sales for that aren't far off the PS3 figure.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds - Classic Zelda turns 10

The Nintendo 3DS' The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is now 10 years old, yet remains a remarkable experience.

Calling this classic feels so weird to me. It's still the newest game in the old style... hope they make another one.

FinalFantasyFanatic142d ago

I would love a remake of Link to the Past, one in a similar vain to Link's Awakening.

Neonridr142d ago

it was an awesome game and utilized the 3D very well on the 3DS. A Link to the Past is one of my favorite Zelda games, so this one being a true sequel to that title really hit home with me.

franwex142d ago

I bought this very long ago, and it’s still in my backlog!

Volition's Saints Row 4 PC upgrade was meant to be a make-good, but it broke the game instead

Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.

Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.

I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.

jeromeface485d ago

i can't help but laugh at this comment. Gearbox can't even run themselves.
