For a sarcasm, you need always to take some part of reality

Oh, so you didnt mean the part about the PSP Go being a concept as sarcasm, but only the part that the PSP Go sold good as sarcasm? If yes, i understand what you mean I first thought that you ment the whole sentence as sarcasm, so i just wanted to mention that i thought that you had a point about what you said regarding that the PSP Go is a concept (or being a PSP model revision), even if you should have ment that part as sarcasm as well

If were were to put you and Thunder Monkey in the same room, would it initiate the apocalypse?

We could find out...

I'll bring the astroglide!

 

[[Nintex]]

So uhh... I'm just thinking out loud here.

Sony delayed the Arc... maybe because they got word that a competiting product was coming to the market? Who knows maybe we'll wake up tommorow to find out that Pachter was right. :lol

 

[faridmon]

I think they had a peanut butter/chocolate moment when someone whipped up a tech demo combining the Arc, head-tracking, and a 3D TV. And yes, I can easily believe it could take Sony this long to consider combining those things...

I think they delayed it because their games weren't done yet.

The dev kits for Natal only got sent out a month or two before E3, and Ubisoft said that Sony's kits came in even later. That would give people about a grand total of 9 months to integrate it into games with Sony's previous timetable. I can't imagine trying to build a game from the ground up for it in that time frame, so launching it in the Spring would have caused them to be sorely lacking in ground up titles as well.

I hope MP9 uses motion plus in some innovative ways. I really like the controls in wii sports resort and want more motion plus.

 

[Spiegel]

I have a bit more confidence in PSP after the December blowout did really fine in the end. In 7 days it had Phantasy Star Portable 2, Gundam vs Gundam 2, Naruto 3 and WE2010. Tokimeki 4 didn't do good though.

Now it has a totally stupidly lined up insane 21 days so we'll see.

The last 7 days are really something they should think twice next time. And it isn't taking into account other platform games those days (like Yakuza 4 on 3/18).

Between Phantasy Star Portable 2, God Eater and Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker I think the "AD-HOC multiplayer" fans are going to have enough for a few months.

Also I feel that Multi Raid was poorly received and it doesn't look like Koei is changing anything (unlike Sega with PSP2).

Talking about God Eater, if comgnet data means anything the game is going to be huge, "Phantasy Star Portable" huge.

MP9 should use everything. the board, WM+ , etc. if you dont have a peripheral, the game does not include those particular minigames.

 

[Achtius]

It's gotta be Baten Kaitos III!

they said popular T_T;;

maybe thats the reasoon why they haven't released one in a while.

OMG Nintendo is giving the series the maximum budget, it cost like 10 million and will have the best graphics ever with motion+ implemented innovative way.

 

[Bel Marduk]

It is popular.

Spoiler

In my heart.

Actually I want a new turn based Paper Mario :/

 

[thestopsign]

I'm going to guess that the game they are talking about is either a game from Intelligent Systems, so maybe Wario Ware (I know they don't completely work on this series alone), Fire Emblem, Paper Mario or Rhythm Tengoku Wii, or it could very well be Mario Party, which I've been saying they should release for a while now.

thedrill MC leak is out

big big software and hardware drops- Wii down to 55K, PS3 down to 33K (PS3 drop is where Wii was last year).

RE: DC at 74K, which is just a bit less than RE:UC started (MC had a significantly lower opening number)

Whoa. I expected a HW drop for both the PS3 and Wii, but kind of thought their big games would keep things higher than that. It'll be interesting to see how Wii and NSMBW do next week.

How many copies did NSMBW sell according to the leak, BTW? Lower than the 130K reported by Famitsu?

 

[Vinnk]

As for the new game, I hope for... Chibi-Robo Wii :lol

If any magazine would release info on a new Chibi-robo it would be Nintendo Dream. They had so many chibi robo tie ins over the years. I still have the chibi robo paper crafts that they included with an issue and the contest that they had to "take a photo of it doing interesting things". I think they also were the magazine to first announce the DS version (but I might be remembering wrong).

Still, I doubt that it will be a new Chibi-robo. But I would be happy if that's what it is.

Most likely epic disappointment. My nominations. "New Play Control Geist" or "More Big Brain Academy"

Ouch at the new (and now likely final) Hotel Dusk game.

Still can't believe SW3 is still in the top 30. I know it never pulled massive numbers but I think now we can safely say now that it was not a bomba. Perhaps even a success?

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Whoa, when did Arkham Assylum release in Japan?

Whoa, when did Arkham Assylum release in Japan?

January 14, 2010 for the PlayStation 3 Home Computer System from Sony.

FFXIII sold less than 20k this week. 2 million? Nope.

 

[Rocksteady33]

FFXIII sold less than 20k this week. 2 million? Nope.

Best price and international versions will push it over, but as an individual SKU? Probably not.

It's still a bomba in comparison to its predecessors. It's probably only lingering because of price slashing, and if #10 is at 22,000, we can only imagine what it's selling at #27. Probably a couple of thousand, if that.

Has there been price slashing? Its on its 2nd shipment at least and surpassed what the expectations were. Not anywhere near the first two, but very far from where most assumed it was headed at launch

Real KH sells more than KH spinoff? Shocking!

 

[Brofist]

Give MW2 some credit for hanging around. Watch it outlast FFXIII in the top 30
