And it's a problem. Castlevania fans have to buy yet another system to continue to follow releases. Castlevania has cost me a lot of money on hardware over the years, I bought a PC Engine, Mega Drive and PS1 (all which I wouldn't have bought otherwise) specifically to follow the series. I'm jack of it, and wish Konami would just pick a platform (any one, I don't care) and stick to it for five years.jarrod said:Uh.. they're actually doing it with CV though.

I think Konami's giving excellent support to the DS, even if their Wii commitment at this time seems a bit like their Dreamcast commitment. Konami is also supporting the PSP with titles aimed at its audience. Because of PSP's power, they were able to use a lot of assets from the PS2 series. I think MGSO is an example of a game that would have been more expensive to attempt on the DS.
Some people just have a burr in their britches about that Dracula X port. Konami made a choice, it might bite them in the ass saleswise, it might not. Nobody knows yet. But so far, their choices of which games to release on the less-popular system have paid modest dividends.
Well, if you have a PC Engine, that means you've played and own Rondo. If you have a PSX, that means you've played/own Symphony. And you think the 3d remake looks like ass. So why did you want this Dracula X collection again?

If you have a PC engine and PS1, then why bother with the PSP game? For the 3D Remake?

Yep, and the touched up SoTN. It's original Castlevania content, and I'm a whore.DeaconKnowledge said:

The difference in quality between the two releases is the whole point. And it's nothing to do with system power, Konami's N64 soccer games smashed WEDS out of the park.

Would you expect something better for a MGS DS? I think you don't see the point.fresquito said:You mean that game worse than the first PS1 version? Yeah, I see your point

LOl you sound like my brother... I'll just sum it up and give the condensed Readers' Digest version.
In regards to MGS
O ...What is the market like on the DS for stealth action shooters?
In regards to games like DMC
What is the market like on the DS for fast action beat-em-up shooter platformer?
Thats all i'll say.
DS while the market is huge... The risk is still there....

Hey guys I read here in the Taito-buy thread that Square-Enix was going to be renamed Quest, Q from Quest, U from ?, E from Enix, S from Square and T from Taito.
So you have to look for a company starting with U! .... NOT UBISOFT PLEASE :lol
So you have to look for a company starting with U! .... NOT UBISOFT PLEASE :lol
The only point is to expect Konami suddenly turn into Square-Enix? You have already seen how much did Konami care about its most important franchise (WE) when putting it on DS. Lets say that I don't have that much faith in Konami to do a good job for a MGS DS as much as I'd like.fresquito said:

You think? Now more than ever they co-develop and publish games made by third parties. Namco, Capcom, Square Enix, of course TOSE, and others with less recognizable names. Perhaps you're not considering them "3rd party support" since they're Nintendo-funded projects?D.Lo said:

Terrible sales this week for Wii, down from 85000, a 20,000 drop in sales in 1 week.
Though PS3 is doing horrid too.
What is going on in Japan, Wii and PS3 both doing horrible.

Knowledge of Man to the rescue!
I expect the Wii to drop another 20,000 next week and the week after next, and finally the Japanese will be sending the system BACK to Nintendo. Thank you for opening my eyes of Man Knowledge.

360 is a disaster in Japan. But that was expected. Japanese don't like to buy American products. Poor sales are due to Asian bias in Japan, they prefer Asian goods.

It is true. That is the only reason 360 isn't doing good in Japan. Really it is best system now, bar none. No reason for it not to be selling millions in Japan, if not for Japanese being bias against American products. If Japanese people really wanted to spend their money well they would get a 360 over a Wii or PS3.

PS2 was selling 100,000+ a week in Japan for atleast 6 months after it came out.

iPod are HUGE in Japan - I don't really think the Japanese look at the xbox and say...well god damn Americans made that - pass lol! No, it's just marketed such the wrong way that it only appeals to Americans - it's not the product persay, but just the perception and software that is involved.
I mean look at the top Japanese selling games - plus the Japanese were pretty burnt with the original xbox, and I don't think a majority of them will be back for seconds.

You started a thread with almost the exact same comment 7 hours ago -
Man of Knowledge said:
- which was immediately locked. Didn't you think there might be a reason for that? In any case, as you would know if you read even a little of this thread, (at least the on-topic parts) the Wii is constrained by supply, not demand.

So, how long before Man of Knowledge becomes Man of Banned?
Mind you, I suppose it's a good thing he's here to keep us on track when it comes to the sneaky Asian mind - they only buy Asian goods, you know. Yellow Peril!

I quite like the way "banned of knowledge" sounds, despite the fact that it doesn't really make sense.
I don't think he should be banned for what he said in this thread, though. People make mistakes and have misconceptions about things...it's better to correct them than to get rid of them. Well, sometimes. :lol

So damn false, but I feel compelled to reply.Man of Knowledge said:
Going by the Famitsu data, out of the first 26 weeks, 21 weeks were less than 100K. The average during that time was nearly 100K/week, but mostly due to the immense first week. If we average weeks 2-26, it comes to about 79K/week.
Wii, through the first 10 weeks averages 144K/week. If we exclude the large first week, though, the other 9 weeks average to about 122K/week.
