That's why I find it really strange that Konami put Winning Eleven on the same date. Different targets, sure, but RE is going to obliterate everything, imo.

Other than that, it'll be a huge ass week for PS3, with two heavy-hitters. Sony should had made a special version PS3 or something.

New releases {2012.10.04}

[PSP] Sol Trigger (Image Epoch) (¥6.279)
[PSP] Summon Night 3 (Bandai Namco Games) (¥3.990)
[PSP] Entaku no Seito: The Eternal Legend (Kadokawa Games) (¥6.090)
[PSP] Confidential Money: 300-Hi de 3000-Man Dol Kasegu Houhou # (Idea Factory) (¥6.090)
[PSP] Confidential Money: 300-Hi de 3000-Man Dol Kasegu Houhou [Limited Edition] (Idea Factory) (¥8.190)
[PSP] Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka Portable (Best Version) (GN Software) (¥3.129)
[PSP] Moe Moe: Modern Warfare+ (SystemSoft Selection) (SystemSoft Alpha) (¥3.129)

[PS3] Resident Evil 6 (Capcom) (¥7.990)
[PS3] World Soccer Winning Eleven 2013 (Konami) (¥7.980)
[PS3] F1 2012 (Codemasters) (¥7.770)

[360] Resident Evil 6 (Capcom) (¥7.990)
[360] F1 2012 (Codemasters) (¥7.770)

BTW, smbu... are you getting what 3DS games this year? I expect a mini-review of Bravely Default from you!

Yeah, that is strange that they'd release it alongside RE6. It's only the ps3 release as well? The other ones come later? (Psp,3ds,wii?,ps2?)

Personally, I only have one 3ds game on my must buy list, Paper Mario. Other than that I'm not sure what I'll pick besides the 3ds Inazuma Eleven game(s), not for me. (Remake and the new one)

still debating on project x and BD. I just picked up Beyond the Labyrinth (discounted!) which I still need to play. Besides the 3ds I have the Halo 4 LE pre-ordered and I'm going to pick up Shin Hokuto Musou as well(Fist of the Northstar: Ken's Rage 2). 

I also just bought the NFL Game Pass so watching football has been taking up a lot of my time as well.

Where do you get this information from?

Anyway, thanks for sharing.  Good for Ys indeed.  I really hope the game does well, previous Ys games have been excellent JRPG's, I think the whole series deserves to sell better than it does.

I'm also pleased that EDF 3 is doing well.  I would've been more pleased if they hadn't already announced it was coming to the West, though :D

It's funny cause the 5 PSP games that are on the list are new releases. It really takes a miracle for a PSP game to have legs... what a strange buying habit.

Chris1964 - he's a trusted poster on neogaf that shares those kind of information.

this basically throw your Nobunaga's ambition prediction out of the window ;)



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Yeah, it's strange, cause the game did ok on PS3 (45k). But not charting means less than 5k, and that's worse than the 360 version did...

At least I didn't predict DJ Max Technica... but I think I would have said bad numbers if I had to guess
