Japanese Developer Screwed Up Console War Claims

At a presentation in Kyoto, Japanese developer Tose, best known for its Nintendo games, claimed the PS3 is outselling the Xbox 360 worldwide. The company is now apologizing for that. Oh, the shame!

According to Tose's original data, the Xbox 360 has sold 41 million consoles worldwide, while the PS3 has sold 42 million. If that data was correct, then it would mean Sony is winning the "console war". The data, however, is not correct — something that was pointed out to Tose.

"There was an error in one of the slides used in the presentation," Tose stated today in an official release, adding that it was "truly sorry" for any trouble the mistake caused. Moving forward, the company aims to be more careful and prudent with information it makes public.

How was my comment trolling. Is it not the truth that the 360 has a whole year worth of sales it can add to its totals by launching a year earlier. Yeah, it really makes sense to say:

Sony 4 years vs MS 5 years = MS win!

Surely it should be year 1 vs year 1, year 2 vs year 2 and so on.

What a joke! Losing bubbles for honesty, another joke.

showtimefolks4921d ago

when people hjust pay attention to just sales that's when great games are over looked.

uncharted 2 was a great game for example but it didn't sell 10million and it didn't need to to succeed.

if a game sell 15 million do we get money back or share of the company no so why all the time when i get off work i come to read some news its always my game better than yours and my console better than yours.

as a ps3 fan i know if there was not xbo360 sony would be lazy and would not do as much as they did in last 3 years games wise both systems are here to stay let's support gaming not name brands

peace

Kotaku : best ms whore of the decade...are they talking about "shame" ? LOL.

:)

but we have some good soldier/sheep here too (even if one, become 4 or more with mutli accounts), and they are so desperated that a stupid screenshot comparison with 600X zoom, or a kotaku article can make them happy for the rest of the day, ignoring the fact : ps3 sell better, game and softs, do better graphics, give us free online, bluray, and all functionality xbox can't have "bubububu crosss game chat.

Mike134nl4921d ago

remind me why a japanese developper, which specializes in porting classic games from older (mostly nintendo)platforms to new ones,whould even care about the ps3 and xbox 360 numbers.For that matter how much of a credible source are they for that kind of information...

Longrod_Von_Hugendon4921d ago (Edited 4921d ago )

The xbox has not sold 44.6mill. Since when do companies start including shipped numbers with sold/sales?

It's closer to 42mill.

HAHAHAHAHAH that was quick now the real fun is about to begins.

AceofStaves4921d ago

Cue fanboy rantings from both sides.

Time for popcorn.

Mr Microsoft4921d ago

Yeah, let's see how this thing plays out. Probably will turn ugly like most things involving "teh selz numbers"

AceofStaves4921d ago

Funny how "teh selz numbers" dominate so many gaming discussions.

gigaware4921d ago (Edited 4921d ago )

That was enjoyable seeing fanboys admit something one day and the next day a article comes along and it was like they never knew the truth ignoring the real data because the fake data made them feel better.

MariaHelFutura4921d ago

What in the hell are you talking about?!?!?

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5074d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905074d ago (Edited 5074d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5074d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5074d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495074d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5074d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5074d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
