sheesh.. good hardware sales all around for both Sony and Nintendo.

Big_Game_Hunters2472d ago

Pretty strong numbers for Sony this week, i can see why they put money down to delay that switch version
Crazy how switch still gets that #2spot despite having no DQ, only behind the new 3DS model.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory2472d ago

Well Splatoon 2 is a major game in Japan. Splatoon on Wii U was a smash hit and was moving untis weekly til Super Mario Maker came.

But the effect for Switch is far greater.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory2472d ago (Edited 2472d ago )

To all the people who are gonna disagree with my comment stating facts.
Go back and look at the Media Create for 2015.

In the meantime stay getting butthurt over my comments.

Splatoon 2 major game? With extra day it sold 1/3 of DQXI.

And in second week only 100k.

EddieNX 2472d ago (Edited 2472d ago )

Switch is the new undisputed king of Japan. @lime. Switch has an installed base of 1.2 million and youre comparing that to ps4 and 3ds combined? Splatoon 2 is the game with the best attatch rate right now in Japan.

Big_Game_Hunters2472d ago (Edited 2472d ago )

Switch is going to sell out every week until Nintendo Can make a new contract with that chip provideder. For Nintendo's sake hopefully they hav at least 100k ready per week in Japan come October ,November and December

Sony paid?

Why you didn't include pro?

Big_Game_Hunters2472d ago (Edited 2472d ago )

I had only looked at the top numbers, lol at 94 Xboxone's.

Also of course, Paid timed exclusive is the meta now, especially for Sony and MS, be it behind press doors or not, Why else would SE not get another easy 500k+ more sales on launch or not even have a launch window for switch version.

ShadowWolf7122472d ago

Ah, so THAT'S the new conspiracy theory.

Big_Game_Hunters2472d ago

So SE said they wanted to bring DQ 11 to NX in early 2016, But apparently a year and a half isn't enough time to make a port of an UE4 game? Obvious logic isn't a conspiracy.

ShadowWolf7122472d ago

Or maybe, and here's the tricky part, Maybe the other two are much further along in production because we actually got both versions announced and DEMO'd long before the Switch even had dev kits available so they have a pretty good sized head start?

If you seriously think Sony's gonna fork over enough cash to get a publisher as big as Square to lose out, even temporarily, on sales from another system for a game as massive as Dragon Quest, you're nuts, dude. That's not even close to cost-effective.

_-EDMIX-_2472d ago

" i can see why they put money down to delay that switch version"

??

Or ...maybe the Switch just came out and Square is still working on that version.

Why would they not delay the 3DS version? That is likely going to sell more units then the PS4 and Switch version...

Your comment makes no sense.

As I said. All three platform are gonna be on fire.

SegaGamer2472d ago

I remember when this game was first announced. I said that when it's released, it would give Sony a big boost because Dragon Quest is a massive gaming franchise in Japan.

Knushwood Butt2471d ago

If only SEGA had made such accurate predictions.

'Splatoon 3’s' Inkopolis DLC Might Be Nostalgic, But It’s Totally Shallow

o matter what the reasoning is behind Splatoon 3’s lack of content and substance in the first half of its paid expansion, Wave 1: Inkopolis is certainly not worth any fan’s money and should have always been viewed as a small bonus to tide fans off from what’s still to come.

Wait, no new PS1, PS2 or PSP additions?

CrimsonWing69575d ago

It’s frustrating how they barely update that library. I get that Jimbo hates old games, but c’mon, the classic catalogue with trophies was a big draw for me. Was really hoping to get some heavy duty classic PS1 games to platinum. Looks like they’ll do exactly what they did on PS4 with the PS2 library…

LucasRuinedChildhood575d ago (Edited 575d ago )

Games like Resistance: Retribution have already been rated as well so they have some stuff ready.

I think they still don't have a healthy supply of classic games for the next few months and they have to really spread them out ... so because of all those Yakuza remasters on Premium this month ... they made the decision to hold off putting up more PSP or PS1 games until next month. :(

They need clearer communication on this. They could have said that we can look forward to some PSP games next month or something.

FinalFantasyFanatic574d ago

I'm so glad I stuck with the essential tier, I'd be ticked paying more with the expectation that the classic catalogue would be regularly updated and built up. The classic catalogue was the biggest draw of the upper tiers for me, so not seeing any new PS1 games is pretty disappointing.

Ben Dover575d ago

While the VC remake is a turd, this is an impressive month.

SlothLordPootus575d ago

Has vice city been fixed? If not it feels like a weird addition. Lots for Dragon Quests fans.

jeromeface575d ago

fixed? Its kinda hard to fix something that was a mobile port to begin with... so no

cluclap575d ago

It wasn't a mobile port though? The team that made them did the mobile games but if I remember the actual remakes aren't the mobile versions.

andy85575d ago

Playing it at the moment. It actually looks pretty clean. I'm on PS5 though, can't comment for other versions. I guess the updates helped a bit

VersusDMC575d ago

If you like assassins creed and Dragon Quest enjoy the multiple games.

Just plan on playing Medium and the Yakuza remasters right now.

EvertonFC575d ago

"inside" indie game looks interesting for sure too

SlothLordPootus575d ago

Inside is great. If youve played limbo it's very similar

dazzysima575d ago

Seems the PS Plus offer is running out of steam already.

Have they even added any new trials since launch?

rob-GP575d ago

Yes, loads - they just stupidly havn't updated the list on the console!

I can't recall of the top of my head but there's been a bunch of games, probably about 10 or so. I'm gonna drop Shu another email and try and get him to tell the UX team to update the list. It's annoying when they don't update things

VersusDMC575d ago

I checked out the soulstice trial recently. And i heard they added dying light 2 so i might check that one out as well.

MrNinosan575d ago

Running out of steam? This month is amazing, and the months before it has been great aswell.
At least 3 of the Dragon Quest games are great, Medium is okay, Assassins Creed is nice gems for those who missed put, Inside amazing, Castlevania superb, the Yakuza remakes are fantastic.

Lots of Trials has been added simce launch.
If you don't use the service or are interested enough to first check what's there, why comment?
