I'm on a fairly tight budget, so I'll probably have a 3DS at most in terms of recent consoles. Maybe even a 2DS if the budget proves too tight, pfft.

I can't find anything on Europe's sales, but JoJo's Bizare Adventure: Eyes of Heaven debuted at number 16 on the Japanese sales chart with about 38,000 with both PS3 and PS4 version sales combined.

Compare that to the first Xenoverse's 78,911 sales in Japan.

I mean, sure, the Jojo games don't sell that well. It's not like most of them are that great.

But that's separate from whether they could sell well, and Jojo's a big enough cultural property that a hypothetical ArcSys game certainly could.

I don't think it would be impossible for it to sell decent if the game was high quality enough.

Only that it would be would be an uphill battle in respect to other properties such as Z. That said it will be interesting to see how this latest DBZ game will sell in comparison to the more casual Z games like Xenoverse.

The last major competitive Z game Super DBZ didn't do so hot here, but that was before the 2D fighter revival in 2006.

 

[Morlas]

And so the bad naming scheme continues for the latest Xbox...honestly Xbox one Scorpio would be been a lame cheesy name but better than just adding an x to it

 

[BatDan]

Can't wait for the next iteration. Xbox One Battle Network

But yeah, Xbox still fails to wow me. Anything worth it is multiplatform or on PC.

 

[Mizerman]

I'm curious.

Does anyone here own a 4K tv?

Nay.

Can't wait for the next iteration. Xbox One Battle Network

But yeah, Xbox still fails to wow me. Anything worth it is multiplatform or on PC.

Funny enough, that wouldn't be too terrible of a name.

 

[Zonic]

Xbox 1 Xtreme

.......that's as bad as Wii U. Don't use a single letter to separate your system, especially when the letters sound similar.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

where's my one piece or jojo's bizarre adventure ASW anime fighter?

Bandai Namco Executive: "Shouldn't we be cultivating and growing our other licensed anime properties just in case the Dragon Ball bubble pops?"

Bandai Namco CEO: "Nonsense. Start production on three more Dragon Ball games with CC2, Ubisoft, and Platinum Games."

Fair.

Scorpio's such a silly name. Like, together with those shirts, it feels so...what's the modern equivalent of 90s Xtreme? The "Call of Duty, sponsored by Mountain Dew" kind of stuff? Like that.

...not that "Xbox One X" is that much better of a name, though.

 

[Jarate]

GIVE ME DBZ

 

[cntr]

so i guess people are going to be calling it the "xox" or "xonex" now

 

[Zonic]

XoX

Xbox One Ten

Xbox One Cross

 

[Morlas]

Also yeah that dragon ball game looks hot

 

[cntr]

if you pronounce it "zocks", Xox is a pretty good 80s b-movie alien race name

 

[Zonic]

Xbox OX

Xbox SX

............if they make a Xbox 1 E version, we have Xbox S, Xbox E, & Xbox X.

 

[BatDan]

Yeah the Dragon Ball game is hype. But maaaaan One Piece would be perfect for ASW. There's a severe lack of One Piece fighting games.
Maybe DBZ is easier because "everyone is lasers"?

On another note, walking through a store I saw these "Lego Brickheadz" and realized "Oh god, Lego is trying to chase the Funko Pop trend". The cancer spreads!

 

[Man God]

Microsoft has been tone deaf this entire generation. It's impressive really.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Microsoft has yet again failed to sell me on an Xbox console.

 

[Man God]

That being said I can actually see myself one day buying a XOX just for their commendable efforts on BC. I do love me some OXBOX games.

It would take a lot at current prices to get enough games to go over 500 bucks though.

 

[Zonic]

I feel kind of bad that I'm so hard on Microsoft considering competition is healthy & I liked my 360, but man, I just can't bring myself to ever care about most of what they show at their conferences.

But it might also be due to the fact I'm growing tired of games trying to aim for realism when I appreciate stylish games among the lines of Okami, Persona 5, Vanillaware's stuff, Rez, Cuphead, etc. where I look at it & go "yup, this is something I won't mistake for a different game"

 

[BBboy20]

We all playing DBZ Fighters, are we not?

 

[RampagingSoul]

My favorite part in the Microsoft Conference was actually seeing a console I own and will own... the Switch.

Dragon Ball Fighter looked cool, Anthem looked interesting, Metro looked awesome, Minecraft being cross-play between Switch and Microsoft platforms and mobile made me more interested in Minecraft: Switch Edition, some indies looked cool like Cuphead.

Not enough for me to get an Xbox, let along a Xbone X when I got a PS4. If I was going to drink every time they said exclusive in that conference, I would drink water. I probably would have drunk over a gallon or two of it.

 

[Zonic]

asw needs to make an anime fighter based on Keijo

I can already imagine the dynamic camera angles now

...oh hey, DB FighterZ is gonna have a closed beta "before the end of summer"

 

[Grexeno]

I want to become extremely rich so I can commission Arc System Works to make a One Piece or JoJo fighting game.

Imagine a Jojo game using inspiration of the presentation & use of camera angles of All-Star Battle combined with ASW's gameplay & graphic style of GG Xrd.

That is my dream Jojo game now.

 

[BatDan]

So I told a friend about Xbone X and the obscene price. She told me that consoles are going to die out in 10 years. I told her "PS4 and Switch show there is a market"
You guys think consoles will be around for a while?

Yea. They aren't going anywhere, but if Microsoft doesn't get their shit together one of these days they will be.

[gamerguy2002]

.........Microsoft just gave me Rare Replay for using Mixer to watch the E3 conference.

Neat!

Anyways, overall thoughts on the MS conference?

 

[BatDan]

That's how I see it at least. Sony & Nintendo will keep on kicking but if MS doesn't steer the ship back in position... we may see a two-prong market.
They're being too safe, where are the risks? *looks at Scalebound* Oh right...

Yeah I'll remind her about how Sony & Nintendo at least provide exclusive content that isn't on PC.

I can't wait to play all those games on my PC.

I mean, my major issue with Microsoft is that all of their offerings generally look the same. How many gritty, ultra-realistic, post-apocalyptic shooter-type games did they preview this year? There were like four or five of them!

They went on about the variety of devs and studios, but that didn't translate to a variety of game types. Having 12 studios making games for you is great, unless they all look the same. Then what's the point?

I've got a Switch and I'm waiting on a price drop to grab a PS4, but I have 0 interest in an XboxOne right now.

 

[cntr]

I'm pretty sure the Xbox isn't going to last. Unless a miracle happens, Microsoft's going to end up with Windows as their main gaming platform, and in a sense, it already is.

Yeah that's also the issue. A lot of MS output is a very samey. On rare occasion something will pop out but it's never enough to buy the console. Especially if everything is going to be on PC anyway. Like Cuphead.

And stuff like AssCreed or Metro or Code Vein or DBFZ is on PS4 too.

I mean, a two-pronged market might not be such a bad thing. If Sony and Nintendo are the only ones there, they'll likely have to fight using games instead of pure tech. That'd be better for everyone (console makers, consumers, devs, publishers, studios) in the long run than the insane tech race we have going on between Microsoft and Sony right now.

 

[Zonic]

WTF, I can get Rare Replay via that Mixer site? Just signed up & linked my MS account, sure hope I can still get it.

Yes, because Sony managed to pick themselves up after the first year or so of the PS3's launch & have been doing great with PS4 & Nintendo has made good on the Wii U's gimmick of "play consoles games off the TV!" & seems to be putting more effort into 3rd party & more 1st party.

 

[HStallion]

I mean I think consoles will be around as long as the console manufacturers can keep the interest up in them. People love playing videogames and even with stuff like the Slim and Pro, consoles are for the most part plug and play which the casual audience loves as we all know. If Sony drops the ball with the PS5 or 6 or whatever and no one else is there to pick it up in the process that could be the end for consoles. It won't take much but its also not as inevitable as some make it out to be.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

The Xbox One's lack of exclusive really made me go out and buy a PS4.

I don't regret it in the slightest since it's library is so good.

Unless all three console manufacturers drop the ball and shit their pants in the same gen, console gaming will survive just fine.

 

[Man God]

Nintendo on Tuesday.

 

[NeonZ]

japan and europe exist

For whatever reason, in spite of the anime's popularity, One Piece games don't sell nearly as well as DB's, even in Japan itself.

 

[Moaradin]

Nintendo on Tuesday.

I'm not expecting much from Nintendo tbh. Seeing more Mario will be cool though.

 

[Man God]

Switch has been doing it all along for me, I expect them to continue their streak.

 

[Raxus]

Catching up to the MS conference. Figured they shit the bed.

 

[Hellwarden]

I don't think we're gonna get any big shocks from Nintendo, so much as we'll just see more of what we know is coming.

I'm okay with that.

 

[cntr]

Switch has been doing it all along for me, I expect them to continue their streak.

in other words

you expect not to switch on the Switch??

 

[Man God]

Promised I'd bring it to my nephews tomorrow to play more MK8D.

 

[BBboy20]

Did Microsoft not notice this dude's views?

 

[cntr]

...looks like it's time to look elsewhere for pixel art games.
