Actually why don't they stop with making Wii/360/PS3 games and only make DS games. We don't know yet where Star Ocean will go, but I assume a HD console. These games take 3 years to make. When development began everyone was convinced that PS3 would easily win this gen. That's why so many big games are coming. Development started 3 years ago. Because a) A company must spread its risk and b) different platforms have a business opportunity. But further on in every generation, when it becomes clear who has the biggest userbase, more and more games will come to a single platform. Handhelds and consoles are different markets really. DS games=most profit And also don't let us forget about White Knight Story, The Last Remnant and Eternal Sonata. Small games, but they will all give a boost. These games are easily smaller than Yakuza, Dynasty Warriors, Devil May Cry, Minna no Golf and Gundam. They didn't really give a boost, did they? And I expect that MGS4 is going to sell 1 million in Japan alone. (the expectations of konami btw) Why? This game is going to be ONE of the games in this generation. And I'm pretty sure this is going to be the most popular MGS game in Japan. Also don't forget that the limited editon PS3 MGS4 was already sold out within a few days, that does mean something right? Maybe MGS4 will sell a million in Japan, but the maximum console boost can't be higher than around 300.000 on a game that sells a million. Don't forget that the really hardcore Sony fans already have their PS3's. We don't know how much MGS-PS3 there are, so that's pure speculation, but we can say that 100.000 is not really limited. The Yakuza PS3 only had 12.000 units. |
