Oh Anihawk :lol

Not quite a PhoenixDark epic, but a rather good show nonetheless.

I have to second whoever said it last time. Can you please change your avatar? For a moment I thought Anihawk was commenting on his own post.

 

[Vinnk]

Anyone else feel sorry for the PS3? At first it was fun, but watching a man get beaten while he's already laying down ain't right. I wish I could help, but $600 is gas money now of days. Sorry PS3

Only as bad as I feel for anyone who commits suicide. It's a loss and it's senseless but I mostly feel bad for the family.

 

[castle007]

IT IS OVER of nintendo. They can't even take control of the top ten

So...you feel bad for PS1, PS2, and PSP?

More like the SDF. Their world is crumbling and most of them are having trouble coping.

"...I mean, who are you going to believe, the company that reports numbers they record every week, or the one that relies on stockholders? If Sony is lying, their stockholders will simply leave."

Well done ani, might I suggest you change the bolded part to "their shareholders wouldn't allow it"

 

[KevinRo]

Interesting to note, FFT:TLW in it's second week sold more than FF12:RW had sold in its second week. It seems that Revenant wings is tapering off faster even though the DS has a bigger install base. Weird.


[PSP] Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War (Square-Enix) - 39,480 / 194,371 2nd week of sales

[NDS] Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (Square-Enix) - 38,003 / 421,333 2nd week of sales

 

[starship]

Very great debut for Ouenden 2. I hope it has legs and sells > 200k.
Also Wii sales came back to 50-60k in the last weeks so it seems Nintendo didn't increase its shipment?

 

[AniHawk]

Well done ani, might I suggest you change the bolded part to "their shareholders wouldn't allow it"

Hm.

 

[Tyrannical]

Boy, the 360 has really been closing the gap with the PS3. The PS3 squeaked by the 360 last week by only 6k units.
Can the 360 get the gap any smaller?

 

[SouthernDragon]

Anihawk writes from his gut, not his brain, so I suggest you shut up Deku.

Everyone knows the best stories came from the gut.

Oh, DS am doomed!! It's over for both DS and Nintendo.

It's an inside joke on past assertions made on GAF about what shareholders might do when they break off PS3 exclusivity.

 

[Pachael]

I felt bad for the Wonderswan, the Neo Geo Pocket Colour, the N-gage and the Gizmondo as their bodies lay rotting on the streets. Rather than sticking around the dead I'd prefer the zippy (though heavy) bandwagon of the Nintendo Wii. Woowiiwoo

 

[Mardak]

And the PS2 is back beating out combined sales for Wii games in the top 10 as wel as DS games in the top 10.

Square-Enix dropped a bit; two titles combined is less than the new one from Sega for this week.

Image Searching Google for Limbo gives some NWS results

 

[AniHawk]

Nice going AniHawk, although the line "Not only do they have the brand power, but the system has a lot of guts" really demanded a seppuku joke.

Done.

 

[Cheesemeister]

And, I'm home. OP updated.

 

[kuYuri]

Sony's back in the top 5, oh yeah.

 

[Grampa Simpson]

5/21 - 5/27:
PS3 - 1
NBA Street: Homecourt (EA)
WII - 1
Jissen Pachislo Hisshou-hou! Sammy's Collection: Fist of the North Star Wii (Sega)

This is truly a battle for the ages. I think the Pachinko game will win though.

 

[Vinnk]

I feel sorry for the PlayStation Family. I had some great time with the PS1 and PS2 (even the PSP to some extent).

But here's the scenario:

The PlayStation family was having a nice fancy dinner party with their friends the 3rd party developers. Everything is going great and then Jr. comes home. Drunk from a night of celebrating his own greatness. He pisses all over the house, throws up on the guests, claims he has a bigger penis than Microsoft's kid and then falls down the stairs. Everyone is speechless.

 

[davepoobond]

killer 7 for ps2 is being released next week?

is that a budget release or something?

 

[icecream]

Shining Wind is a shitty game with a famous character designer and a sort of popular (but shit) anime. It will drop like a barrel in a waterfall..

Well duh... It's just a slow week.

In other words it's just a generic cutesy franchise game that people buy more for the Art/VA than actual gameplay.

 

[CoolTrick]

No crap. That's what happens when it's a slow week with otherwise one major release on an old platform.

 

[Odysseus]

the gap can only decrease as they both approach 0

 

[Joe Molotov]

Killer 7 is just now coming out in Japan?

 

[jimbo]

Famitsu Hardware 5/14 - 5/20

DS Lite - 112,080
Wii - 57,654
PSP - 26,044
PS2 - 11,740
PS3 - 8,189
Xbox360 - 2,296

It will be interesting to see if Forza 2 closes the gap any further next week.

 

[ethelred]

I am utterly saddened and disgusted by the success of the latest Shining atrocity.

Sigh.

**** off, Sega.

 

[Cheesemeister]

Capcom Collection.

Please refrain from using one-liners that have been posted 1,239 times.

Honestly, if it isn't accompanied by a .gif it isn't that appealing anymore to tell the truth.

[RiskyChris]

"And for a moment, let's talk about the Wii. Sure it's selling well now, but in a few years, people will get tired of the same Gamecube level graphics they've been playing the last six years. People will buy PS3 when Metal Gear Solid 4 comes out, just like how in 2001 everyone stopped buying Dreamcast because Metal Gear Solid 2 came out."

Oh god, A+.

Optimists live longer.

Yeah, it's a real tragedy when a parent outlives their child.

 

[basis]

nice to see other platforms in the top ten for a change

I would say it was weird. But then you have to see that Revenant Wings sold 400,000 while tactics is barely at 200,000.

 

[Diatribe1974]

Man...how I'd KILL to see the PSP continue to dominate the Top 20 list (roughly 10 games on average in there). By doing that, they'd push out NDS titles and finally let the technically superior handheld rule for awhile. Do that for like....the next year. Force Nintendo to make a better system with the NDS-2. With the increased sales that Sony's getting with the PSP, I can assure you they're attributing it to the lower price point & with that in mind, they'll help keep the PSP2's price down as well.

What's so weird?
The DS game sold more on its first week (274,004) than what the PSP version have sold so far (194,371)...so there's the install base differece.

That really helped keep the PS3's price down.

if these hardware numbers are shit for PS3, Nintendo would do well to take this bitch to the bank and drop some megatons friday.

Nintendo doesn't need megatons anymore. They're probably saving them for when they're no longer supply constrained.

i need them. nintendo, give them to me. this week has been cruel.

GIMME THE GOODS! SMG and Smash Bros before the end of the year! PLEASE!
