You've just proven how ill-informed you are happydolphin. Japanese gamers do care a lot for God of War, a hell of a lot more than they did for Bayonetta.

As of now Bayonetta sold 300K in Japan on the Xbox 360 & PS3, God of War III sold 420k in Japan as of early June 2012 and could be close to 500K now. Hell God of War III is even bigger than Devil May Cry 4 in Japan as that sold to date 400K on the Xbox 360 & PS3. So before you assume to speak from a Japanese market perspective perhaps it is a good idea to check out the facts first.

Wow, I am ill-informed. Get a life dude, I never said I was all-knowing. I can make mistakes.

FFS, you people are really anal you know?

EDIT: And for your information, mister informed, I did look up the facts. God of war didn't even make it in my readings. This is what I had looked up.

Well Im not that certain that the PS4 will launch after the 720... so lets wait and see

Yup. I see PS4 launch first THEN the 720. I also see majority of XBOX users change allegiance towards the PS4.

* The fact that xbox is splitting in two next gen and bundling kinect with every 720...i dont know. Something is not right "so far."

Yea they successfully did that with Crash Team Racing :)


When was that? The PS1 days? That's like me using Goldeneye 007 on N64 as an example of how Nintendo can successfully woo the CoD crowd.

Yea it was back in the ps1 days but they still have done it at the end of the day ;)


I'm not conviced that Sony is the same as they used to be. In fact, that's a big reason why I didn't buy a PS3 this generation... definitely liked them more when they were more capably enchroaching on Nintendo's audience. Even I had a PS2 several years back.


Actually, Sony is a changed company. They are more self sufficient. Microsoft forced them to double their first party efforts in order to keep the high flow of gaming on their console that gamers are used to. Microsoft made themselves virtually indistinguishable to them in offerings but had a more affordable console and that was the deal breaker in the beginning.


That's true, but not quite what I meant. At this point, I'm just happy that Sly Cooper is making a comeback...


I never cared about Sly Cooper until I played Playstation Allstars. Now all I want to do is play his games. lol


Crossover fighting games are great gateway games. I didn't care much about Zelda before I played SSB on the N64. :D

This sums up Sly Cooper nicely: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/10/31/do-the-sly-cooper-and-assassin-s-creed-universes-coexist.aspx

Indeed. It's almost like Sony making a kart racer in order to nab some Mario Kart fans. At least it shows an attempt at diversification, but sometimes it's best to stick with what the audience expects.

Totally understandable because a lot has changed since then. Sony have always used that "anything you can do I can do better" approach. Sony and Nintendo always been in their own respective markets while they were competitors. SOny always had the bigger audience out of the 2 and that is why MS infiltrated the PS market


It kinda makes me sad though, because it seems as if Sony is spending a lot of resources on taking back the audience Microsoft pilfered. And I'm definitely not part of that audience by any means.

Yep, I read somewhere a couple years back that Microsoft saw that Sony was taking over the living room with their videogame consoles and they wanted in. It's the same reason Microsoft is going so hard after Apple. Well, they failed with the Zune, but you get the picture. They want to monopolize any multimedia market they can get their hands on.

So my dislike for Microsoft is as justified as I thought it was. Their meddling has been souring the efforts of the entire industry. *wags fist*
