I don't want to add any fuel to that junior's fire, but I'd say that pretty much matches my impression as well, after spending some 2-3 years at this place. Although I wouldn't necessarily say more people here prefer the PS3 or the PC, it's just that those folks are usually somewhat louder than your average Xbox 360 or Wii fan - which is in line with Cheech's earlier remark about GameCube owners last gen.

Awesome. Maybe one day Sony will release the GoW PSP games on PSN. That'll probably be the only way I'll play them.

eh, I probably should've clarified, but I didn't mean there's a GAF hivemind. Just that the majority here prefer one console over another.

Pretty standard month. MS has to be happy about beating out the wii for once. I wonder if it's a trend that those two will start to even out at this point, or if it was just slim-related.
Most people here seem to be optimistic about SMG2's sales, and while they're definately strong and indicative of great legs, they show how far behind the sequel is compared to its predecesor in the same timespan.
SMG was well over 2 million at that point. Granted, it was released in the holidays and I'm sure its the main reason for the big lead, but sadly, it goes to show that SMG2 will probably sell a little more than half of what the original did.
This saddens me as I think the sequel is far superior and one of the best games I have ever played.
Still, over 1.1 million in a month and a half is great, it's just so far behind most mainline Mario games that it makes you wonder how Nintendo themselves view these figures and what kind of an effect thay will have on them regarding 3D Marios going forward.

That's the best part of statistics period. I hate math and statistics, but a good saleman can spin the numbers anyway they want. Just consider each poster a saleman/woman for their console of choice.
It's all fun. Everyone says "Damn, the PSP sales suck," but to me, it's over a 100% sales boost from last month, so it's a step in the right direction...... It's all about Marcus baby!
May numbers:
PlayStation 3 154.5K
PSP 59.4K
Xbox 360 194.6K
Wii 334.8K
Nintendo DS 383.7K
June numbers:
PlayStation 3 304.8K
PSP 121.0K
Xbox 360 451.7K
Wii 422.5K
Nintendo DS 510.7K
Month over month increases:
PS3: 97.3%
PSP: 103.7%
360: 132.1%
Wii: 26.2%
DS: 33.1%
The 360 clearly got a boost from the Slim sales and below clearly boosted the PSP sales this month. 100% MoM increases are great! PS3 sales were also almost at 100% cheer on the sales numbers GAF, try to sell your console, not discredit the others.
Banner from the GAF home page and the mastermind behind the increased PSP sales increase!

Yeah, it's really really weird that the GCN and PS2 are now approaching maturity in terms of emulation (most major games work near-flawlessly, most minor games are playable or partially playable) and yet the OG XBOX and PSP are not just not well emulated, they're barely emulated at all. I think the most recent XBOX emulator can boot 5 games to title screens and the most recent PSP emulate can play 4 or 5 games.
Weird.

:lol Are you really getting worked up over no-one talking about how awesome 360 sales were this month?
Back on topic, it looks like this month was quite healthy overall in terms of HW sales. Red Dead really is a beast and when its all said and done I expect a 10M - 12M LTD for the title.
I suspect that they've probably shipped 7M copies already.
LosDaddie said:
Shipped 5 million, but with 2.5 in the US in the first two months and 600k plus confirmed in the UK it is almost without question they have cleared 4 million plus WW. They could possibly clear that 5 million shipment by next month(if not this month) if I had to guess.

It still blows my mind that Sony doesn't allow PSP games to run on the PS3. Typical Sony being behind the curve.

It was the second time that happened this year (February was the first), but I don't think it's going to continue in the following months. Of course, after Kinect launches that may or may not change. It's going to be interesting either way.
Stumpokapow said:
I don't know about PSP, but Xbox is apparently very hard to emulate.
GC is hitching a ride thanks to Wii, and frankly PCSX2 compatibility is still pretty horrible (and even the stuff that works is rarely glitch free).Stumpokapow said:
But anyway, XBox lacked standout software that wasn't already on other platforms(sometimes superior versions). PSP falls into that too I reckon, and it only had 5 years on the market compared to 10 for the others.
Maybe the fact both were/are software-mod pirateable contributed too (GC never was, and PS2 didn't have that until 8 years in or so).

It is now that you've bolded it.velvet_nitemare said:
It's all speculation unless they actually release it at launch.
I'm also not saying that it will be the same hit it is in japan, but if it's a launch title with some advertising, it will sell a million copies, and if it does, then it will get the exposure in the US that it needs to develop in that direction.
Naruto said:
That is the only reason for the large difference. While SMG2 has come out later in the lifespan of the console, and thus long legs might not give it enough time to catch up to the original, it is going to continue selling and selling and selling until the next Wii releases.
Not any of the mainline Mario games made up all their sales in their first two months. This one is not any different.

I was thinking it might be the files for linking PS3 game play using the PSP. Remember the old video of that driving game (GT5 maybe?) with the PSP as the rear view mirror? Could that be what that is?
BTW, I think the PS3 is gaining because more people have HDTVs, more people are interested in Blu Ray now that tons of content is out for it, and Sony has closed the gap on exclusives with the 360. And by gaining I mean the growth in YOY sales, not that they are gaining on the 360 compared to launch. (Cutting Stump off at the knees

Do the PS1 classics use Wifi, Ad hoc, the PSP's Mp3 or AAC decoders, etc?
Fafalada said:
Well, sure, which is why less popular platforms like the Saturn took a while to get emulated, but it's odd that there's no truly active projects for either even taking a stab at it.

The emulator is currently used to play Minis, is it not?

On the XBOX end, it might be that a lot of the worthwhile games were available elsewhere - including PC versions of Halo 1 - did 2 ever come out? I own 4 XBOX games (I usually used it for XBMC purposes) and 3 of them are available on the PC. I may be just a matter of time until the other one is as well as a steam rerelease or something. For the PSP, a bunch of the worthwhile ones got PS2 ports.Stumpokapow said:
The only real explanation is that no hacker of sufficient enough talent has taken a serious enough interest in doing so. I personally would think that the XBOX would be an easy target as it's PC hardware with a DirectX derivative.

I thought the primary reason for the delay in Saturn emulation was that the Saturn architecture was hell on any attempts emulation?

Wii and DS versions are two separate games AFAIK. I'm talking about buying a psp game through the ps store and being able to play it on both psp and ps3. Just like how psone classics work. You don't have to buy two different versions for both systems.

It's worth noting that the SNES & GCN both had adapters allowing you to throw GB/GBC/GBA games up on the big screen.

I don't know, both platforms had plenty of exclusive cult favorites, and the emulation community doesn't strike me as something full of people interested only in big mainstream hits.
Nah, I'd say it has more to do with the fact that it's extremely hard to do, at least in Xbox's case. I mean, look at Microsoft's own efforts. They had pretty much all documentation they needed, and even their professional emulation team couldn't come up with a 100% working solution.

Gravijah said:How will the Sony fanboys deal?
With MGS games going to the 3DS? I would assume by buying a 3DS. I know I will, that thing looks amazing. It will be my first Nintendo device since the SNES. I should add that it will also be my very first gaming portable (not including my iPod Touch). For all my Sony love, the PSP has never held much appeal for me. I'm clearly not alone in that regard...
Yeah, but that's apparently because of differences in nVidia's and ATi's architectures, which might be fairly easily overcome on vastly superior modern PCs. Though seeing as even Oddworld Inhabitants is struggling with porting Stranger's Wrath, it might not be that simply (they cited original Xbox's DirectX quirks as a reason for porting difficulties).REMEMBER CITADEL said:
Still, I'd kill to finally be able to play Phantom Dust (no PAL release) or some other Xbox exclusives in glorious high resolution.

True, MGS 3DS plays and looks worse than Peace Walker too!Zeouterlimits said:
I agree with some of the drawbacks you've outlined, but there are most certainly some bigger devs/pubs for whom this would be a fairly easy process and for which it would be profitable. For example, why wouldn't Konami and Square-Enix consider doing this for a quick cash-in on PSP library titles? I'd presume they have already put some of this administrative expertise into place for PS1 games and UMD Legacy games already on the PS Store.chubigans said:

Such is the way of the world. Final Fantasy started out on the NES after all. Maybe Sony will win me over with an astounding PSP2 but I don't see it happening. Especially with the way that third-party software support worked out between the two handhelds this generation.

Wouldn't all the QA be done on Sony's side? That's how PSone classics are tested before release.
I don't see how selling more software to ps3 owners is a bad thing for anyone.
