Your PS3 list includes some already released titles (Disgaea 3),


he probably just mistyped or forgot and really meant Disgaea 4


Yup it was Disgaea 4

And I know this isn't the topic of this thread, but I can't wait for that game, I've been way into Disgaea 3 lately and has made me that much more excited for the next in the series.  I just hope that their planned change in the visuals doesn't go in an unfortunate direction.

Does the Wii even get any games in Japan? If you look at the software releases you'd think it was getting discontinued...


You really must not follow them in japan.

Which is also, not yet announced technically.

I agree, 3DS will probably crush both, it's already getting all the exclusives... i cant wait, i might actually get a handheld for the first time in my life ^.^

The thing is though abt the Wii, for all the lack of 3rd party support, it's still getting DQ and inazuma, and will probably get MH3G when all is said and done. Along with Nintendo's lineup, it is by far not dead in japan, but for the leading console it is weird

Yeah, if you want to argue sales, even with fewer 3rd party titles, those Wii games will likely sell more total thanks to DQX alone.  Inazuma Eleven's potentially pretty big too, though I could see that one not doing so well also (like DQMBRV).

I do still agree, if we're going into speculative titles, MH3G's likely.  I think we'll also see an upgrade release for Samurai Warriors 3 (ie: Xtreme Legends, Empires), Taiko Wii 3 and a new Momotaru Denetsu.  Probably a DQVII remake too.

It's been announced for America by NISA, no official Japan announcement yet.  We'll get it at TGS certainly though, but I said technically.

"Oh and one last thing.  This year the latest Disgaea will be released in Japan and it will be for the PS3.  Plans to make Disagea evolve to a new level and also plans to surprise everybody are in progress.  By the time Tokyo Game Show comes around we will be able to release more information, so please look forward to it. Thank you very much."

That's the president of NIS (not NISA) telling us that it'll come ou this year in Japan for PS3.  How much more official do you need?

Okay.  Then "latest Disgaea", not "Disgaea 4" technically. :P



The old VGC charts would be so useful now to compare at a glance...

Anyway, how many weeks PS3 did it last year? How many weeks it already did it this year?

According to VGC, last year it was 29 for the Wii and 23 for the PS3.

This year so far it's 18 for the Wii and 11 for the PS3.
