Year-over-Year Comparisons
Wii
Worldwide sales are up 26% in January and 38% in February (32% overall). NA and JP sales are about level (JP sales up 9% this year thanks to Brawl) with 2007 sales, while PAL sales have more than doubled since last year. Wii has been supply-limited in NA for both time periods, and was supply-limited in all regions back in early 2007. Thus the numbers indicate that PAL regions have a much higher demand for the Wii than they were being supplied early last year, while JP demand seems to have been pretty much in line with what was being supplied early last year. So for all you PAL residents, yes Nintendo was screwing you last year with system supply, but things seem to be ok these days. North America seems to be getting about the same supply as last year, with the extra produced systems mostly going to PAL markets, making it difficult to judge the true demand there, but if the situation continues expect another production increase this spring. Either way, it's pretty safe to expect much larger Wii sales overall this year than last year.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.
Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
