[xaphanze]

10k?thats not so good...I expected more for a cheap port.

[MikeGdaGod]

i don't know why....i definitely won't be getting it. i don't care if its only $40. there's WAY too many games out that i haven't finished yet and i wouldn't dare waste my valuable gaming time on a year-old port of an, at its best, average game.

[jackdoe]

Too little, too late for Japanese PS3 gamers.

[antoinetm]

same here, i don't want leftovers.

out of my sight capcom. (until Sf HD remix or SF4)

[SCThor]

..

[Daver]

I dont doubt it... Lost planet is an horrible game loll

[BLUR111]

no it was a awesome game , one of the best looking next-gen games to be out so long. ps3 owners should get this cuz its good

[games4fun]

those are some low numbers, i hope capcom gets the hint though releasing a port from a year ago wont get a good reaction maybe you should do ps3 at the same time if you want to sell in japan.

[uxo22]

If Gears was ported over to the PS3 would you guys not buy it either. I've heard many people call it garbage although I know they were just hating. But it is a curiosity since gears is a year old and a port, would PS3 fans pass on it?

[Guwapo77]

No I wouldn't. Who hasn't been to a friend's house that had this game a year ago and played the hell out of it? Trying to bring something which is old and dated already is stupidity at its finest.

The only genre I can really see year old ports being successful are RPGs. My friends are cool, but they aren't that cool to let me sit in their living room and play their Xbox solo for hours on in.

[-EvoAnubis-]

Yeah, if GeOW came out on the PS3, I'd take a pass on it. That is, unless it was the PC version with a little bit more things added to sweeten the deal. I like GeOW on the 360, but that game was too damned short.

[MK_Red]

Glad to see BioShock doing not so bad being a western FPS and on 360. Sad to see Burnout doing not so good.
And why isn't NiGHTs remake selling on PS2?

[wow4u]

It just shows, that even in Japan, the Xbox 360 is THE gamers machine.

[Snukadaman]

Dam...didn't some people say Lost planet on ps3 would sell like hotcakes in japan...Looks like the n4g analysts were wrong yet again...leave it too japan too flip the script.

[Iamback]

Only 25k was shipped so interest must be low, as it should be. it is crappy port, after 12 months they could make decent port, idiots! I am glad no one is buying it.

[Kleptic]

crappy port?...no...its a great port of a crappy game...

[SSCOOLCHEA]

feel slow and it sucks , i played the demo and saw a lot of japanese people on it ( is the ps3 server global ) . Maybe its just the demo ...but my opinion not even worth it..

[Snukadaman]

but maybe his name should be filledDiaper....cause he is always so full of sheit??

[Danja]

Lost Planet is a horrble game and I don't see why ppl would buy a year old port Capcom should take notice , besides there are more fun online experiences to be had on the PS3

[DarkSniper]

In one day, Lost Planet sells more copies on PS3 than XBOX 360 has during it't entire existance in Japan.

Good news indeed for Japanese PLAYSTATION® 3 owners.

$niper

[InYourMom]

Bioshock sells just as much on the 360. Doesn't that kinda cancel out everything you are implying with that statement DarkDiaper?

[sak500]

LOL darkdiaper ROFLMAO...Bubbles for you Inyourmom.

@DD halo3 has sold more units in 6months than your ps3 in 1 1/2 years.

[Sony sucks balls]

Ha Dark Diaper that's great! He is a knob gobbler and takes it in the pooper hence the dark diaper because of the drainage.

[PS360WII]

Etrian Odyssey is that the game where you draw your own map of the dungeon?

[DeZimatoR]

According to this, they only shipped max 25k copies of the game...so Capcom wasn't exactly expecting it to sell like hotcakes... ;)

Anyways, thats the treatment all year old ports should get, specially if they come from Capcom.

[OC Shock Value]

Because they are to busy playing Smash Bros Brawl to worry about petty games like those

[bullet]

"Dark Diaper"

LOL!!!!!!! That is too funny...Bubbles for you!

[TheMART]

PS3 games just don't sell.

It was not only Lost Planet. It's also Ratchet&Clank, Uncharted the main hitters don't sell as the 360 games do

[You bought an Xbox]

.

[heyheyhey]

actually the units/install base index is higher on the PS3 for most games nowadays (like DMC4, Burnout, Turok etc)

so in words suitable for retards(a la the very person im replying to)- PS3 owners are now buying more games than 360 owners

[HarryEtTubMan]

lol thats why the PS3 beat the 360 is software sales in Europe and Japan every week right?? And why WORLDWIDE software sales are VERY CLOSE for a console that has been out twice as long. You, themart are DELUSIONAL. Gears 2 and Goldeneye(lmao) got released and now all off the sudden we are pretending the PS3 hasnt sold 9 million sellers so far(the same the 360 has by this point,....the all the best games that will REALLY sale are still to come)

Keep saying the same crap. The 360 still has a CRAP 2008 lineup....the same lineup everyone was making fun of a day ago... besides Gears 2(a game NO ONE was even surprised by)

Keep lieing. Its still not gonna change the PS3's momentum.

360 isn't killong the PS3 in software sales anymore....to have a 7 million console lead. Just get over it. The PS3's games are becoming the Lead SKU's too just like the Sony Ceo said just yesterday... he's not dreaming. This way both versions will come out good.

You just will keep getting owned and PRETENDING like something spectacular and good has happened.

I have seen more RROD pictures in the last 2 days that all of last year. 360 will never beat the PS3 in hardware again and wont in software for much longer. I'll make sure to point out Europe and Japans software number from now on when they drop... it will help soften your delusional fanboy senses. 360 is doing SH!t for a console with a year headstart. ...except CONSTANTLY losing ground to the PS3. iN EVERYTHING.

[Percy]

Why would anyone want to buy this game i played the demo its not good there are to many other games to play this old port. If this were dead rising id be all over it but i dont see anyone putting down CoD4 for this. Id rather go back and play some resistance or orange box than this shiit i might rather even play blacksite area 51 than this not to mention if you go outside the catagory of shooters this just to many good games out there to want this game.

[princejb134]

man bring bioshock to the ps3 and ill buy it

[wiizy]

hope winning eleven sells around 70k the first week.

[Intrepid]

Yeah, me too. It looks like the future of Soccer games.

[Tempist]

I think Lost Planet is seen as a silly western shooter. Remember that the Japanese don't take well to shooters, and given the LP was put on the 360 (A western console) there's hesitation to pick it up. When it's released for the PS3 in Europe/North America, it will do much better. Probably 1+ Million copies in first 9 months for both regions.

Bioshock is a shock that it's sold that much so far. Again, it's sales are gimped on part because of a low 360 penetration. However given that it's a shooter-RPG with a damn good story, the sales will probably pick up in the next few months when word of mouth makes the rounds.

[Charlie2688]

Interesting enough Lost Plant is almost completely aimed at the Japanese crowd from the fact that the story is anime like(Mix between Shonen and Mech), the character design is also VERY anime like(various villains with bizarre designs and characteristics), it also has mechs from here to eternity and even japanese favorites..transformable mechs! and you know japanese love them mechs XD

Plus if you remember the 360 version sold pretty well (well if you consider the "install base and bla bla") and if you play in Live you find a lot of japanese players and some rooms are even ONLY Japanese one! o.O

[jackdoe]

Thing is, NOBODY likes leftovers. These sales reflect this.

[blynx182]

Is either celebrating or laughing.

[KeenanTheSavage]

I guess that's good, but Lost Planet is a terrible game.....still....

[cokzilla23]

dido

[DrWan]

You know guys, even after a game has been release for a year, it still generates income for the company, example would be things like Resistance Fall of Man, it still selling more than a couple thousands a month generating a steady revenue for the company in the long run.

The 2nd advantage is more of a business strategy, because usually when you release a sequel later on, you will get the 2nd sale effect; especially if the sequel is good and its a continuation of the story of the first game.

We have seem this with God of War, when GoW 2 came out, GoW 1 raced back up to the top 10 list for several weeks. So when they release LP2 if the PS3 version is available, people will wanna pick it up for the "complete experience".

Similar sales boost also happened to Metal Gear Solid Series whenever a new one came out.

[JokerSGS]

If Gears came out a year later to the PS3 people would buy it because it is a classic game that has broaden that genre and will be a game to define this "next-gen" era. Lost Planet is a joke. A subpar game that sold because of the lack of any other serious titles besides Gears. Thats why Saints Row and Dead Rising were able to sell. You think any of those games would have a chance today with all the games available for both systems. Even games like Crackdown were able to sell with a gimmick like Halo 3 beta, because if you were an "early adopter" you buy games to warrant your purchase and anything that appears alright will be purchased.

[The Closing]

Bioshock should have sold more. Believe the hype!

[GameHero]

The would be cool if BioShock came to the PS3, I know when I played it on the 360 I became so frustrated about half way thru the game because of the staggering frame rame issues when there was alot of enemies on the screen. I stopped playing it and never finished it, oh well I heard the ending dissapoints anyway!

[Bubble Buddy]

LP owns, and I mean Linkin Park. The online demo was ok I guess.
