Yeah, that's been a big problem for them. I remember them thinking Xenosaga would be the next Final Fantasy series and even after it was clear that that wasn't the case (after the first game) they kept dumping money into the series and expected it to do ridiculous numbers. Hell, they had Xenosaga as a 300k seller when it only did 20k or something. :X

AND WILL YOU QUIT CHANGING YOUR AVATAR?!

I'm actually kind of worried about Nintendo's online plan. We haven't heard much about it. Will there be a headset? Or any kind of communication at all? Leaderboards of any kind? A friends list?
They also need to work on their store, etc. It's a good start, though.
As for Xenosaga, I don't know much about it. I wish someone would hurry up and come out with an RPG that topples Final Fantasy... Or at least challenges it. I imagine that Atlus would be the one who could pull it off if someone gave them the funds.

I don't think will ever top it. It's too widely known and far to popular.
There have been dozens of games I feel are better then Final Fantasy. But there is something about the series that just seems to resonate with everyone, even those who don't necessarily consider it the best series around. It's accessible, it's attractive and it's entertaining.

I'd love to see the face on Sega & Sony execs (and Playstation fanboys around the world) if Cooking Mama actually outsells VF5...

oh, well EGM labeled it a "cult classic" so I assumed there was a modest following at least... there is a drought of games though, maybe it'll stand out...jj984jj said:

The Xenosaga series overall sold over 2 million copies. Thats not bad. Like Shadow Hearts: Covenant and Valkyrie Profile 2, Xenosaga 3 deserved to sell a lot more. With what Monolith did with Ep3, ive become such a fan of the dev team that Im willing to buy all titles they make from now on. Even Disaster: Day of Crisis.
Fady K said:
Come to think of it, Final Fantasy is the most popular but I dont think its the king of RPGs anymore. After playing Valkyrie Profile 2, Shadow Hearts: Covenant, Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits, Breath of Fire V Dragon Quarter, Xenosaga 3, Baten Kaitos Origins, Nocturne - these are all awesome RPGs IMO that deserve to sell just as much as FF.

In this day and age, anything goes. Seeing the Legend of Zelda TP crushed by countless other Nintendo games that released around the same time is enough to have me expect such stuff.

Oh, the bitter tears about the tales series, I almost have forgotten how good they tasted...:lol
In other news, first Flight-plan published game (Dragon Shadow Spell) doesn't do too good...but come on, what a bad timing. Hack GU 3 will do the usual 100k and so the trilogy will have done around 400k, not bad for splitting a game into three parts. I don't remember how Shining Force Neo did so I'm not going to comment on EXA.
Its better for Atlus to undership than to overship eh? Good start for a new IP.

Glad you pulled up that interview quote again
Baten Kaitos and a Xenosaga spin-off on Wii would go down nicely. What bothered me is that they want to do BK on the DS, but it was cancelled and they're apparently still waiting on whether it can be greenlighted again or not... *rolls eyes*Hopefully we'll get more info on Disaster: Day of Crisis in the next few months so we can see if Monolith Soft works even better when guided by Nintendo.
By the way, very pleasing sales for Etrian Odyssey, and it's been confirmed for a US release as well, so with any luck will pick up enough worldwide sales to deem it worthy of a sequel. Excite Truck has started more favourably than I'd imagined, and Wario's a bit lower than I thought. Perhaps it'll have stronger legs than Super Princess Peach did. It's a really fun game, from what I've played so far, and the touch-screen controls aren't as annoying as some may think.

It is incredible. Now it is clear that the Nintendo DS has not only expanded the market, but it has changed totally the industry in Japan and it has damaged the Playstation's brand as anyone could predict. The WIi is surfing on Nintendo DS's strenght and Wii Sports is driving Wii's sales. At this point 1 million for Wii Sports and Wii Play is not enough; they could reach 1.5-2 millions easily if they follow the DS's games trend to sell a lot in the long term.

I'm as frustrated by the lack of them as others are! Plus I wasn't allowed to take photos of the pre-release version I played. You could always just read my hands-on and take my word for it

Good for Wario. Good for Excite Truck too. For an occidental game is not a bad performance.

According to Famitsu chart, Tetris DS has become the 13th million seller on DS

Plus WoW is an MMORPG, which he obviously wasn't talking about, RPGs and MMORPGs are very different domains.
Thanks for playing, though.

Very near, its last week, this week is most likely above that already.max-pain said:
Original release 330-350k (don't remember, I get confused with Rogue Galaxy). The budget re-release has sold 300k already!
And the sequel >500k at high price, SEGA really does need to look after this franchise. Hopefully Yakuza 2 sees a better localization (and dual VA or burn).

WoW is quite obviously lying.
Really hilarious. Firstly seeing Resistance as the best selling PS3 game in Japan and secondly, even with these low hardware sales, 6k sales for the best selling game on a platform is ****ing disappointing. Tie ratio for PS3 is awfully low.jesusraz said:
this is the biggest issue imo. the reason the playstation brand succeeded was because it was the 3rd party console of choice. it afforded these companies a profitable platform for their games, at the moment ps3 isn't doing that. in fact sw sales on ps3 are terrible!Wyndstryker said:
it's no good if ps3 is only being bought for major games and titles like ridge racer struggle to sell 100k on a 500k+ user base. the danger is a gc like scenario of wait until ___ aaa game, then hardware will sell, because the reality is those buying the console now are doing so for the aaa titles. add to this the fact dbz wii, a quick port of a ps2 game, is selling relatively well, and developers have a lot to worry about.
i don't see how 25k post holiday launch, with under 600k sold, can be seen as anything but a bad thing. sony needs to get their act together.
wii, on the other hand, is selling very well. impressive sales all round. nintendo is just getting started with their wii sw, i'm looking forward to seeing what they come out with over the coming months.
edit - surprising to see ds sales lower than wii, but good to see it higher than last year.

The only reason I bought one was to beat my friends GTHD demo fastest time. Now I've done that, I'll be waiting until VF until I turn it on again... I'm certainly not going to submit to any games here in Japan. Especially as software like Motorstorm seem to be Beta versions.Branduil said:

Oh Wii is on another league altogether. PS3 wont catch it in the foreseeable future. Expecially in Japan. As a next generation platform tho? I can see no strong rivial in Japan.
I hope you don't wish the Wii to "win" everything globally cos the day console gaming will be all about Nintendo games and non-games is the day I'll quit gaming. Hopefully the 360 will keep the next gen torch burning while the PS3 offers its contribute to the cause.

Quit being a doom thinker. You said it yourself, Wii is on another league altogether, so don't worry if the Wii comes out on top this gen, the PS3 en X360 will have more than enough great games...TTP said:
