Beating up?

Is PS3 stealing Japan's lunch money?

No.

The Japan preview is way off again.

It didn't even mention torne.
It also underestimated Yakuza 4 (a bit).

I sense some Nintendo bias in the Japan preview.

I like the clear and concise, perfectly logical deductions you've made here. Instead of approaching the preview under the mindset that it is an early preview with estimates, you've instead concluded that any numbers that are off are that way because the staff is clearly biased for Nintendo. Your evidence is undeniable and your claims are humble. What would we do without more outlooks like this on the site?

Me.

Sequels don't move hardware

See. Now what!?



Is it just me or in those gifs do the people getting "Thrown" force themselves for an easier throw? For example, they seem to be jumping right before they get thrown

Lol yeah they are pro wrestlers, they do jump, but that just makes them land harder xp

Yeah you'r rigth. It's obvious now, it's starting to make me wonder wheter wrestling is fake or not. Nah, it's probably a true and legitimate sport.

Oh my god! My worldview has just been shattered!

U are 100% right in what u are saying.

I know the preview only samples one retailer and that I can't really expect accurate numbers.

And I wouldn't want to make Nintendo bias responsible for numbers that are off even though it sounds like that.

It would be stupid. I wasn't being fully serious with that last line, more like just teasing.

 

However, the tone of the preview seems to favor Nintendo a bit (even though that doesn't influence what numbers the estimates will end up having).

And I wonder how the preview hasn't even considered something like torne + Yakuza 4 to have a bigger effect on hardware which it clearly had.

The preview expected hw to be in the same range as the week before which wasn't a very good estimation.

 

~~

ASCII Media reported that 62k units of torne were sold in the first week.

Sega shipped more than 500k units of Yakuza 4.

 

 

 

 



Looking forward to: FF Versus XIII / LBP2 / The Last Guardian / Yakuza 4 / ICO Collection

Glad to hear. I hope Torne comes out in the US.
