PS3 Tops Famitsu's Latest Most Wanted List - PS2 now 2nd

Famitsu Most Wanted Charts the PS3 has the most games on the list - The next-gen is here with the Ps3 with 7 games on the most wanted games list, shadowing the ps2 with 5games, the DS 4games, and the Wii and Xbox360 are neck and neck with 2games.

On another note...Halo 3 is more wanted than GT5...is there a revolution happening in Japan...?

[wildcat]

I pressed report on accident. Didn't mean to.

[techie]

lol you fool. You can cancel the report can't you...?

[wildcat]

I can't approve it now either. Really sorry though.

[eques judicii]

wow... didn't know anyone in japan actually wanted halo 3... amazing..

[UrbanJabroni]

"Biohazard 5 PS3 Capcom 1.362"

Also to be released on Xbox 360.

Of course, only five or six blind Japanese people will actually play the game _on_ the 360...but I just wanted to head off any flamewars before they started. ;)

[Bathyj]

One of the posts below the list said RE5 wasn't going to be released in Japan on Xbox. Anyone know if thats true? Sounds stupid to me, I think its false but anyone know for sure? Anyway its still 2 for XB cos they're saying they want it on PS3.

To the article, things are deffinately looking up on PS3. Its getting to the point where I can hardly hear the complaining anymore. All the good news is drowning it out.

PS3 Is GAY LOL!L!

[smeg0rz]

I think your the gay one... I didnt know an electrical device could be classed as gay.. Well done for your fantastic comment, i hope you didnt have to signup to post that...

1 xbox360 game, oh well best MS have done there in a while i surpose.

[techie]

Lol his first post. bless. Welcome Harry.

[Gamer luv]

LOL @ Deepbrown lol lol lol

Any way, not suprising to me, everyone new the Japs would love the some sh1t£ over and over again.

Now what i dont get is how the western gamers can actualy accept they would rather have a 10th of a series, rather then a whole new franchise?

Like, how many GT's are there, theyve all been pretty much the same accept prettier.

FF, i got pretty bored after i playered the 11th one, everything is to similar.

Why dont they work on making new 1P games which werent around in the times of PS, there just milkin it for money now, they got old to fast.

MGS, the only good one was the original for PS. Best game ive ever player, but since then, the shorter, more advanced and prettier versions just bore me.

I admit, i will buy these games, but why should we? Theyre the same game in a prettier box.

I want to see some new stellar game, only on PS3, like nothing ive seen before, not a load of games the PS one had 10 years ago.

Although, i would have a say Nintendo are worse then Sony for milking a franchise.

Its like

Every game is just "Something" Mario Or "Something" Mario kart extreme.
There has got to be around 300 different titles with hes name in.

You cannot say the same about the 360 as it hasnt got as many games.
The only major 1P they have which has more then one or two copies b4 it is Halo....

Now I know why this website is so pro-PS3! its because there are two saddo's (GaMr and deepbrown) who spend their entire days posting pro-PS3 news and anti- everything else news.

Words of advice: if you want some relatively unbiased gaming coverage go to www.kotaku.com or www.joystiq.com

[techie]

Lad! I've posted like 5 articles. I'm sitting at the computer all day doing my dissertation and this is my form of procrastination.

I've generally found this site and many others to be anti-ps3 and very pro-360. Anyone else agree? I kinda like that this site is opening up a bit and becoming more pro-everything with games like Bioshock and Heavenly Sword showing...the positive news is the best. I have seen many negative news posts keep on being plucked out by some members...

To Gamer luv - don't worry they are coming. We have a new franchise from Resistence, Lair is coming (new gameplay), Heavenly Sword another great title (and will hopefully have sequels!), God of War is a new edition really, there's Uncharted, and 8 days, and LA Noire (new artistic style for games) ...they are there if you look for them.

[Torch]

Ohhh...you're NEW here!

Welcome to N4G, sonny. Given you're outrageous comment, I can only assume that you view the world wearing glasses with big green X's splashed across the lenses (my most sincere apologies if I'm mislead.)

Well, fret not, sir! Because you've definitely come to the right place! If you stick around here long enough, you'll see that Sony and PS3 are in fact consistently bashed and uh, urinated upon for no reason other than a terrible and utter flaw in Darwin's "only the best genes survive" theory...while the XBox (a fine machine in it's own right) remains the untouchable high-and-mighty.

I must add, however, that the minions have been becoming exceedingly quiet as the incredible bombardment of fantastic recent PS3 news keeps just flowing in. The bashers have been quite simply running out of ammo, and are limited to desperate remarks such as "PS3 Is GAY LOL!L!", or "Sony is known for saying CGI = ingame..."

Though you criticise deepbrown, rest assured that the poor chap's been doing nothing more than submitting newsworthy PS3-related stories. I challenge you to find a reference where he blatantly and mindlessly bashes any of the competition. As a matter of fact, he's probably one of few minimally-biased members on this site.

Meanwhile, keep up the good work, deepbrown. You're efforts do not go unappreciated.

[techie]

Cheers dude. If I bash, I bash stupidity...sometimes coming from the Sony camp (Shadowgamer) or from the Microsoft camp. Thanks though. i really need to stop procrastinating though I do some damn work!

Ps. this post was tipped by BHAI...I just submitted it. I remain innocent to this. Also if you notice...as what not even said in the title, I added the Halo 3 bit to give good news to both sides. I would'v thought Chacron would've picked up on that...I personally thought that was good news for the 360 in Japan...oh well, maybe I was wrong.

[dantesparda]

I want what you're smoking. Pro-PS3 site, ROFLMAO!!! this site is super pro 360. And this is coming from a guy that owns the 360 and doesnt plan on getting a PS3, look at my gamertag, I've had the 360 since day one (Nov 22nd, 05, and stayed out all night in line in the rain for it). You must be super-pro-360.

And Torchy, well said ;-)

[Killer Cop]

Good post T0rcy.

Japan.. Halo? Japan?! Halo!?! JAPAN!?! HALO?!?!!

*head explodes*

[dantesparda]

LOL!

[coolfool]

People around me started looking at me funny!!

Nice one!

[techie]

What the hell is Monster Hunter 3!? And where were 1 and 2?

[TheGoodMART]

for PSP

[eclipsegryph]

Whilst I'm certainly impressed by all of the offerings on that list, I could do without the "the next-gen is here" propaganda. We're in the current gen. We've been in it for over a year. The term is getting very old and very pointless and I think it's about time it got dropped.

[techie]

I apologise..but I think you can see the implications of what was meant. Both the 360 and ps3 are next-generation consoles....and this is the first time that games wanted on one of these next-gen consoles has surpassed that of last-generation consoles.

11 next-gen console games
5 last-gen console games.

[eclipsegryph]

Oh, there's certainly no need to appologize - I understand the reasoning behind it all, and it works well. It's just that on a personal stance I'm tired of seeing "next gen" all over the place. The meaning of the phrase is lost, and it has now become just a media keyword, in my eyes. For instance, look at your own reply to me - you mentioned next-gen and last-gen games, instead of current-gen and last-gen.

But then again, I'm also the kind of person who goes off on the contractionary misspellings of "you are" or "it is". :p

[techie]

I understand what you're saying...I have been snared by the media! I get annoyed with people saying that I am not in the "now" because I listen to old music from the 70's etc. And I'm like, of course I'm in the "now"...I'm here now aren't I! Any i digress. I think the reason why it's hard to call it current-gen is because at the moment the current still seems to be the ps2 with its huge install base. Perhaps we should call it the "newer-gen"...

[eclipsegryph]

But I certainly understand how you feel. It's a kneejerk term that people recognize instantly. Calling the PS3, X-Box 360 and Wii "current-gen" just doesn't have the same kind of hipness as "next-gen". It's just media and marketing now. :p

The PS2's install base and current steady sales just goes to show that last-gen isn't dead just yet. Anyways, it's all preference. Just a little something that gets under my skin.

Hell, I'm definately not in the "now" of video gaming, because I completely shun online gaming, prefering just myself and my single-player game. It's like some sort of faux pas nowadays to enjoy single player games or something.

[happygamer]

you say that this site is pro ps3 whats wrong with that people saying ps3 sux rofl if you dont own ps3 you dont know what gaming is.

[donscrillinger]

Like know one knows that nintendo and $3I4TY,OOPS MY fault Sony rule everything in Asia as far as video games go .So this doesn't mean that the piece of $!@!3 is any better than the 360 .This just mean that if you check the charts here in America we buy more and our charts say 360 ,wii,ps2,ps3 .so basically our market says top games people are waiting on are on the 360.but i fell in the end the 360 will win the battle, the Asian love online and now i'm starting to hear an lot more on games i'm playing and i fell this is very fresh. i love to see me and my ninjaz go up against there ninjas, gat for gat, chain saw for chain saw ,to be sitting in the lobby and hear them talking in Asian excitement not knowing what he's saying but at the end of everything we'er all left with similes on our faces ,win or lose.ITS FUN TO PLAY TOGETHER.with key online game 360 will remain King .

[Bhai]

Top game folks are waiting on the only greatest thing, the PS2. You are so desperate man, where is xbox that was supposed to topple PS2, PS2 is still alive, 40+ million people in America owning a PS2(and numbers even growing more) are living proof of what is the most content filled device yet. Its even outselling the 2nd xbox HaHaHa ! PS3 is a surplus here.

360 had 1 year ahead launch, without competition, failed attempts at capturing Japanese market although they fully claimed to go for it, is half in price than PS3, has only 1 killer-app(and only a GPU killer-app at that) uptil yet HaHaHa ! and within that one year you are all so flashy and cheery, it simply shows your desperation for a good time. MS can't even refill its original xbox loss, what difference does the 2nd excuse in the shape of 360 makes ?!

[CaliGamer]

Don, you should take that picture of Malcolm X off as your avatar because you don't do justice to the man. He was very well spoken while all you spew is a bunch of malarkey, I couldn't understand 99.9% of what you said.
Its funny to me how all I see now are 360 fans commenting just to save face. I guess Gears of War was nice, but you know that the PS3 is bringing the heat. Even their movie format of choice (HD DVD) is in trouble, not to mention downloadable content, PS3 will have some substantial titles available online and what does the 360 have? XBOX 360 was cute for the year it was out, but now its looking more and more grim on all fronts. Lets hope there is a Halo 3 announcement this week so you 360 fans don't feel left out.
AND LEARN TO WRITE IN COMPLETE SENTENCES DAN. FOR GOD SAKE YOUR ARE POSTING FOR THE WORLD TO SEE, HAVE SOME PRIDE IN CONVEYING YOUR THOUGHTS CLEARLY.

[Align]

Can anyone explain why all the shops i have visited in my local shopping centre over the past few weeks are still offering PS3 preorders saying you are guaranteed to get one at launch ? does this mean people are not preordering or that the shops are having lots ?

[Bhai]

...of being below Halo-3 in anticipation is because there is not even a single media out for GT5, so there is nothing to anticipate or to not anticipate. Let even a single shot of GT5 come out, and some new media on White Knight Story, you'll see Halo-3 fully kicked out of the chart HaHaHa !!!

No offence to deepbrown, absolutely I like your style man. I think by mentioning of this GT5-Halo3 relation, you've actually proved you are a moderate user here. The GT5-Halo3 sentence is like a balancer to the news above, otherwise didn't everybody already know that GT series rocks way above that Halo excuse !!!

[ArmrdChaos]

You really need to put down that bong filled with Phil Harrison's secret sauce. If you really wish to avoid coming off as a know nothing you really should keep your mouth shut until the numbers come out, because after it is all said and done Halo will most likely sell more copies than both those games put together world wide. When it comes to electronics, the Japanese support Japan plain and simple. If they wish to keep their economy strong that is what they must do, so claim victory over the obvious. The one thing that is changing is that the rest of the world is no longer following their lead.

[HaKeRsCanRotINHEL]

I considered purchasing a PS3, hell Motorstorm had convinced- PS3 was THE system. That was until I did a little research and found out the PS3 has just as many faults , (if not more) than the 360.

Don't believe me, go to any PS3 game site forums/boards ( in the United States ) and do a little research for yourselves.

[ALIEN]

Is the s!@#. can't wait!

[TheXgamerLive]

It's only Japan and this list changes weekly, it's no big deal at this point. we don't care about ps3 news like this.

No put down, it's just a fact.
