They keep games like these coming then I'll keep getting them. pretty simple concept. I've been surprise by the PSP's sales monthly when they aren't really putting out any games. Now that they are supporting the system more it can only do better.

Good time to be a handheld gamer with the DS and PSP.

-x.Red.x-5405d ago

DS for fun casual games
PSP for hardcore games

I love my handhelds

Iceman1005405d ago

why people won't care....hmmm to many reasons to list.

jack who5405d ago

why doesnt it out sell the ds frist

M_Prime5405d ago

hahaha, PSP will outsell DS?

i own both the DS (original and i want DSI) and the PSP 2000

the only reason i got my PSP is to hack it so i can play games like FF7... as for the PSP library, GOD OF WAR was about it.. the GTAs are fun but meh...

PSP sold 50 million units cause of HOMEBREW and hacked units.. the games coming look good and all but Nintendo is killing it with the DS.. DS prints money..

the gameboy has been around a long time and i know the the DS sales were included in this even though DS dropped the GAMEBOY logo, the last real gameoy is the GAMEBOY ADVANCED SP.. which i own as well.
its sad though that the MAN THAT CREATED THE GAMEBOY quit DISGRACED after his vision of the VIRTUAL BOY was a massive failure.

They messed up the PSP because of the UMD (UNIVERSAL MEDIA DEVICE MY ASS) sucked and battery had nothing on the DS..

the PSP is great but even myself i have not picked it up since DECEMBER.. maybe when i go back to school i'll use it during travel and to get online at school but the PSP is lack luster in terms of games right now.. after GT and LBP we can say otherwise.. though FLATOUT was pretty well done on PSP and so was the BURN OUT..

pianplay5405d ago

50 million people bought a psp for fuking homebrew?

and here i thought people bought it to play good games and have fun...

STK0265405d ago

why are you saying it will outsell the DS while the article makes no mention of it outselling the DS? or did you not read the article at all?

of course the PSP won't outsell the DS. The article points out that the PSP will, over it's lifespan, outsell the Gameboy, which quite frankly, it will most likely do. The PSP has over 50 millions units sold as of now, the gameboy about 120 million. The PSP however, is still selling while the gameboy is obviously discontinued in most parts of the world.

The DS sales were not included in the gameboy sales mentioned by the article. The DS has already reached the 100 million milestone, and will most likely beat the gameboy in a few months or years.

well the guy that disign the game boy was gunpei yokoi, the guy responsible for metroid 1 2 and super metroid. he did not quit he died.
just a proof of how delusional troll can be

I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.

Relientk7711d ago

Don't play with my feelings like that.

Also, new Tenchu please!

TheColbertinator11d ago

Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5214d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5214d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212114d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

MrNinosan14d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5213d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5213d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani14d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum15d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman15d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim14d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

I disagree Batman

FF XVI Producer Is Interested In Working On A New Final Fantasy Tactics Game

It's insane its been this long since the last release.

CrimsonWing6916d ago

Not from you.

Knowing how you handled FF16 by trying to make it appeal to non-fans and changing the entire gameplay design I can see you changing Tactics to appeal to non-fans.

If they’re going to do this please give it to someone who wants to keep the game and genre in tact.

VersusDMC16d ago

He worked on tactics ogre reborn. Was there changes? He wouldn't make an FF tactics game an action game. It will be AA but faithful. Probably what the Diofield Chronicles team and some of the FFXVI team is probably working on already and he is just keeping a secret.

And FF hasn't had a set gameplay design since X. I disliked the MMO, 12, 13 FF's but didn't mald for years. I played other games. Stop crying as he probably won't make a single player FF again and will be busy with the next FF MMO.

EternalTitan16d ago

I can feel your hatred. Keep it up.

Ataraxias16d ago

Tactics Ogre Reborn was an overall solid product but almost eliminated the concept of builds in the game.
So we'd probably end up with a system where character jobs like Mercenary for Ramza is 80% of the character instead of being freeform.

SegaSaturn66916d ago

Tactics Ogre Reborn changed a lot of gameplay mechanics for the worse. The class system is weird and hard to lock in roles, and they shoehorned a new "random card appearing" mechanic on the maps which makes no sense. Previously you obtained those boosts from killing powerful opponents, not spawning randomly.

There's a way better way to play Tactics Ogre: the fanmade onevision mod of the psp version.

EternalTitan16d ago

16 was just a terrible mess.
Its not even a JRPG let alone a final fantasy game.
Yosi piss(who said he hates JRPGs) should not touch another Final Fantasy game ever again.

VersusDMC16d ago

87 metacritic can't be a terrible mess.
If Kingdom Hearts is a JRPG then FFXVI is a JRPG. And he said he hates the term JRPG as it carries a bad stereotype with western journalists.

So you're just incorrect on several fronts...

Asterphoenix16d ago

I wouldn't mind a new FF Tactics longs they keep the tactical elements of Tactics in it as well as a very in depth story. Which FF Tactics years ago has by far one of the best stories in the series.

Tapani15d ago

Yes, alongside with Vagrant Story. Playing FFT, then Vagrant story and finally FFXII is a bliss. Deepest lore and best stories ever made in video games.
