Courtesy of GfK, some sales numbers are in for one of Europe's most important gaming markets: Germany. Covering the holiday sales period (Nov-Dec), they show that while some consoles (like the Wii) performed as expected, others did not. Just look at those 360 numbers, for example. Dire.
Note: for some reason, no PSP numbers were provided.
1) DS - 653,000
2) Wii - 339,000
3) PS2 - 184,000
4) PS3 - 136,000
5) 360 - 56,000
ADD from the news Source :
"Allerdings nimmt Sony mit seiner PS3 nach einem schleppenden Verkaufsstart inzwischen deutlich an Fahrt auf. Laut GfK hat der Konzern von März bis Dezember 2007 insgesamt 309.000 PS3 verkauft. Das ist mehr als doppelt so viel wie Microsoft mit seiner vergleichbaren Xbox 360 im gesamten Vorjahr geschafft hat."
Translation:
Allthough Sonys Ps3 had some rough sales problems at start its gaining momentum nowadays. According to GfK sony sold 309.000 Units since Launch in Germany wich is more than twice the amount MS sold in the whole Launch Year of the 360
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
I don't think the amount of PS3 sales is anything to brag about here. But GOD love Oktoberfest!
I had my first experience of the Oktoberfest last year (I am currently living in Munich) and I have to say I have never seen anything like it. Forget any music festivals you have ever been to, this place had more drunk people per square inch than anything I can imagine.
Great fun though.
In 2002! lol
Germans like quality, duh.
