I should have made it PSP vs 3DS thread ;)


Just for a few more weeks maybe... I don't think that even in Japan PSP will hold his ground for long... Maybe you should do a thread about the PSP v DS who will fall faster.

Surely Japan isn't boring, with Sony and Ninty fighting on many fronts, 3DS being so strong and at the same time PS3 and PSP doing what people didn't expect one year ago, while Wii and DS don't receive as much support as we could expect, even from 1st parties...

I'm pretty sure the Wii doesn't have any release in May... is there any game schedule for June?


None in April, none in May and none in June so far. Perhaps only in Q4 Wii may be getting games.

That's ... scary... and I must clarify, I don't mean first party release, I mean no release at all in May! Surely there is at least ONE game being release in April / June?? Not even a shovelware?

Well, looks like Wii has just received its only May release (26th of May). Pandora's Tower. That game won't make a difference, looks too small, in between Zangeki and Sin & Punishment in regards to sales I'd say.

There's actually 2 games releasing in April for the Wii:
Yu-gi-Oh! 5D's Duel Transers and Billy's Boot Camp: Enjoy Diet on Wii!. Both pretty much shovelware.

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.

To say the truth it wasn't fine last year either. Not even 2009 was a good year for the Wii. It all went downhill after 2008.

I guess PSP picked a good time to be dominant, with NGP coming soon.  Keeps Sony handhelds in the public mind right before arrival.   

EDIT: Announce the next Monster Hunter.......and shit will get serious lol

Capcom has just announced their next MH and it's for............. PSP!

Monster Hunter Diary G, I guess they will run out of milk soon. An expansion to a spin-off. But either ways it's for the PSP.

I mean, I'm sure they could have been working on the next one since the last main one released no?   And the period between that release and the NGP release seems to give them decent time, maybe not for launch but pretty close.....lol.  Just like to think of the scenario.  What a launch that would be right?

Q3 2012 sounds plausible. It has to have a decent userbase before launching I guess. So 9 months in the market for NGP would sound good (if it launches this Holidays)
