Or maybe people are just no longer interested in a game that came out a long time ago?  Bioshock PS3 didnt generate interest either, but on 360 it did very well.  There is an effect.

I think the game being out for over a year and the price being $65 dollars had a part in that.

So they sold better than the Wii version in Japan? Despite being a 2 year old port? That ain't half bad. What does the HD version offer though besides the graphics and lack of motion control?



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

Whos fault is it then? Maybe they should have put Wii or Mario in the title. Would have sold millions then.

If it had Halo or Killzone in the title, the HD version would sell millions too.

 

There's no fault here, the game only appeals a niche audience, which is bigger on the Wii due to it's userbase.

The 360 version is uncensored unlike the Wii and PS3 version.

Some more features (for both HD versions):

"As well as the expected HD gloss, the game will include Japanese language voiceovers, selectable alongside the the English voiceovers of the original. There's also a new unlockable mode which is known as "Very Sweet Mode, this mode changes all the female characters costumes into sexier forms -- skimpy bathing suits, lingerie, cheerleader outfits etc.  In addition to the Very Sweet Mode, there will be two new modes: "Rebout Mode" and "Movie Viewer". Rebout Mode lets you freely fight against the assassins you've previously encountered in the main mode of play. Movie Viewer lets you freely view movie scenes after you've seen them in the main story."

If true, those sales are really good considering these are late ports of a game that did poorly.

We are talking about year-old port, to systems that has much less install base than the Wii.... and yet, it still sold more.

Thanks for the info, hopefully it get's released worldwide later on, seems like a decent pick up.

 

For anyone who's interested, Famitsu scored the HD No More Heroes 33/40. The Wii version got 34/40. The games got scored lower because they have longer load times compared to the Wii version, if any PS3 owners want to import a copy it has English dialogue as an option.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

To be fair:

- It's a 2 1/2 year old port

- Wii userbase was at 4m in Japan at that time, PS3 has 5m and 360 about 1.5m now.

 

However these sales are definitely very decent, but the whole porting progress wouldn't make any sense without a Western release...
