Is it just me or a multiplatform releases doing worser lately on the Xbox 360?

If the Otaku games like Idolm@ster, project diva or dream C Club make it to PS3 or Wii, it will become even a more irrelevant console there.

Project Diva's already announced for PS3 as a PSN upgrade to the PSP versions btw.  Idolm@ster Wii has been heavily rumored to for this year too.

360 seems to have a solid hold on the ADV and STG niche markets though.  Basically like latter day PC Engine, Saturn or Dreamcast.  It could probably live out a few more years on those alone.

Looks like some first day numbers are in? http://ameblo.jp/get6-2

Can someone confirm/deny? I should learn Japanese :(

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Eye of Judgement PSP marks another 1st party bomb for Sony. They're almost like bizarro Nintendo.

Keroro did awful (especially with the Tales tie-in), Nobunga 360 tanked, and Bioshock 2 did pretty bad as well. Not a great week for new releases.

On the bright side Nobunga PS3 did about as well as the later PS2 versions, and the DQ Ultimate Hits did rather well.

LoL. Funny way of putting it.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

I don't see any numbers;..BTW up of the site you can click for 'Change language to English'

No numbers.  Machine translated, it basically says Absolute Modding Hero did better than he expected and is off to a great start (and it's UMD only, no PSN release?), RPG Maker DS did okay but is low on stock, Musou Multi-Raid is doing much less than the original ("not even comparable") and uh, something about Battlefield 2 and another game (which did well)?  Hard to tell. :/

Ok thanks, translations by Google are hard to understand.

Really? this is the first time I have heard about Idolmaster Wii, though people have been talking in Japanese forums about a possible PS3 version.

 



There are 3 The Best entries for PS3. MGS, Yakuza 3, and Demon's Souls.



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Demon's Souls should stay there for awhile.
