The chart says "year-end sales".
Meaning December 2008.
PS3
Gundam Musou: 174k launch
Dynasty Warriors 6: 187k launch
Ps3 has been out-selling 360 in both quantity of games released in japan as well as with better sales numbers. You're just plain incorrect in your assumptions.
I still don't understand what was so good about BioShock. It really didn't break any new ground or do anything that SystemShock2 did before and did better.
The best thing about the game was the setting. The rest of it played like a standard run-of-the-mill FPS.
I would think people wouldn't care so much about scores what with the current gamespot controversy.
People can keep proclaiming that X game isn't AAA because the score said so.
I'll be playing a game that's AAA because I've actually played it, and made my own decision on how good it is, without a game reviewer getting pressured into giving a certain game a certain score. I think I'm the smarter one.
But 40k is downright pitiful. Japanese game sales tend to be heavily front-loaded.
Blue Dragon sold twice what Lost Odyssey did, and it never even broke a half a million units sold worldwide.
This is definitely nothing to get excited about. Its something to get worried about.
Neither version is really stable. There have been reports of bugs and errors in both versions. Freezing in the PS3 version, and falling through levels, the double-Altair bugs in 360.
Its most likely due to the Japanese ratings-system. Assassin's Creed recieved what's equivelant to an X-Rated videogame rating, and that's usually the death blow for most games in Japan. However, the 360 has somewhat of a reputation for the system to go-to for gorey/mature games, hence the release on the 360.
There's a very good possibility that AC won't be released on PS3 at all in Japan.
wow, 50-60k PS3's would put it right around where it was last week. The price drop may have bumped the average sold up that high for longer than expected.
Well, with that kill-cam, its pretty easy to figure out where that sniper is hiding...
Well, since they won't be making the source engine any more capable on the PS3, if Episode 3 did get released it'll be just as shoddy as orange box.
Um wow, this is totally unexpected. I'm just as shocked as you are.
The way this game works, I'm not sure if it would be as viable. On my HDTV I'm constantly having firefights at the limit of rifle range, and on a split screen, it would be even tougher to see your surroundings.
I mean, it would be fun, that's for sure, but the two of you would probably get utterly owned by someone playing on a full screen.
Marvel MMO?
I don't really think a 7/10 over a 6/10 is really a score anyone should be bragging about, lol.
That is pretty cool.
Remember, the PS3 has two buses between the RSX and Cell. There's a reason.
Orange Box PS3 isn't out yet.
I'd rather have no rumble than short battery life.
The arcade board they're using is essentially a PS3.
UT3 for me as well. I'm not too broken-up about OB being sub-par. I have it on PC, but I wanted the PS3 version to play with friends on PSN. Ah well, guess Valve/EA don't want my money.
