PS3 Bayonetta on top and the best game on the Wii coming in at 18.
Good lord priorities are fucked here.

Interestingly enough, Infinite Space and Strange Journey share many, many similarities. Both are heavily text-driven narratives, made with extremely low rent presentation, and yet both still took up 1gbit carts because of the sheer volume of content. I wonder if the lower budget factors combined with the large cart size influenced the difficulty for both games to get restocked in a timely fashion...

i'm still shocked s&p2 was even released, s&p sold like shit on N64. i kind of expected it, its still disheartening...

i'm sure that bayonetta's platform performance differences are going to affect much much more than your average forum-dwellers.
Second said:
??
they benefit from the success of bayo.
Bayonetta is SEGA IP , profit or whatever all go for SEGA pocket , they already paid for PG to make the game.
SEGA doing PS3 version was the cheapest way for SEGA , instead of paying double money for PG they used their own studios to port the game.
Totobeni said:
It wasn't even a case of double paying. I don't think it's realistic at all to expect a new studio with zero HD experience to suddenly be able to develop a multiplatform game running at 60fps within 2 years. Even a massive developer like Capcom, which Platinum was formally part of, released two 360 titles before they were comfortable enough to do multiplatform titles. Platinum simply wouldn't have been able to deliver another version without serious compromises on the entire game itself. It makes more sense for them to work on the game itself on a single platform to ensure the best possible quality of the actual content.

So... the people who got banned in that first topic for "WHY HANDHELDS!?" stuff are somewhat vindicated after all? But in all seriousness, this is rather depressing.
While Sin and Punishment at least doubled its first day sales, those are still... not good to look at. As discussed in the previous topic, while we could logically assume that this should not impact the NA/EU release due to how the reason the game even exists is due to regional VC sales, I'm still going to remain skeptical at this point. This generation as taught me that every company is prone to making absolutely stupid localization-related decisions at one point or another.

Well, no since none of them (to the best of my memory) ever brought up the game's potential sales as a reason why handhelds was a bad idea.
Seriously though, I have to wonder about where along the line the screwup occurred. Why was a second shipment so delayed?
DMeisterJ said:
If you're using FFXIII as the standard, then nothing has ever been released on the PS3 in Japan. Gundam Musou 2 and White Knight Chronicles came out on PS3 in Japan last December. Wii had Taiko last December.
cvxfreak said:
Drop the price to 15K (keeping price parity is stupid when the Japanese version doesn't include Wii Sports) yen with a voucher for a free NSMBWii for anyone who bought a Wii since Oct. 1 in Japan.
Totobeni said:that is the end of the Sin and Punishment IP
and I better import it since I don't think NOA will even care about it now.
S&P was revived because of U.S. VC sales. It's coming to the U.S. Since it's a Japanese company making it, I don't see why they'd stop releasing in Japan, too.
donny2112 said:
A situation like that is not unique for a Japanese company, even Nintendo. The Advance Wars series is proof to this (Japan still has not gotten Days of Ruin/Dark Conflict). Hell, the Metroid series as well has hit its fair share of snags in Japan. If S&P does extraordinary well overseas, then it's quite possible that they'll simply hold off on Japanese releases. For all intents and purposes, it's reasonable to speculate that this might be some big trouble for the S&P IP in Japan strictly.
donny2112 said:
People keep saying that, probably because someone at NoA said it, but the Iwata asks doesn't make it seem accurate. Nintendo hoped for a S&P Wii for a long time, Maegawa wanted to make it due to the control system. I'm unconvinced VC sales had anything to do with the game's development, though they may be used to justify releasing it in the West.

It keeps selling because it's fap material for creepy weirdos, just like Idolmaster.

Outside FFXIII what else is there, the Wii still has a new Taiko, Tales, and ultimately DQX in like 5 years.
PS3 3rd party sales are not monstrous, what encompasses the super high end? MGS4, RE5, each of which is neutralized in the grand scheme of things by MH3 and the 1st Taiko
I think things will pretty stay as is with few exceptions on each side in regards to 3rd party sales.

Sure, Nintendo will have one or two third party million sellers in Japan (MH3 this year and DQX in 2037) that will increase their total third party software sales number. But Ps3 will have more third party games that'll sell well.
It's pretty ignorant to say that Ps3 doesn't have anything outside of FFXIII.

Is...is the Clover curse broken? Dare I say it, but does Kamiya get to drink from the goblet marked 'Success' once again after so long?!
