Farmingham, Mass.-based research firm IDC predicts that the Wii will outship and outsell the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2007 and 2008, as Nintendo's rivals battle over the core consumer. IDC gaming program manager Billy Pidgeon said that Nintendo's strategy to reach out to the non-core gaming market will pay off.
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.
The Wii will outsell both the 360 and PS3, but the 360 and PS3 will get better, and more, games.
I for one am glad to see Nintendo post strong sales numbers! Just makes the competition tougher this generation and as a result we'll hopefully see better games because of it... And to those who think the Wii cannot compare to the Xbox360 and PS3 because of graphics and or raw power I can say this... Some of the most fun I've had with my 360 is with the "live" arcade selections ---> "Root Beer Tapper!" If it's fun and entertaining, people will buy it.... Period.
Yea I agree... it's cool and all... but since I've beat Twilight Princess I have not turned on the wii... and was it even more disturbing I don't see any upcoming releases that look interesting except for Mario which is n't coming out till December if it doesn't get delayed.
I predict that more poeple have $20 bills in their pocket that $100 bills. Price matters.
I hope things go great this time for Nintendo. Hopefully this will encourage them to spend a little more money on their next consoles. I mean lets be honest, compare all the things the future will bring for xbox 360 and PS3 fans. Games like halo 3, metal gear, final fantasy, etc. I'm not talking about graphics only, I'm talking about games. Not for nothing but as a nintendo fan what are you looking forward to aside from knowing how the wiimote will play with mario, metroid and zelda. I think Nintendo got it very easy this time around, people don't seem to care about games when it comes to the wii as longs as they get to try the wiimote. the wii may have 2-3 games worth playing including one that it comes with, aside from that.. nothing... The same with the DS I bough one and is collecting dust. I'll also buy a wii but under no circunstances I would drop a xbox 360 or PS3 over it. It's a good to have console, but as a hard core gamer it is like going back to atari 2600 compare to the other consoles.
