To win japan u dont need 4-5 big titles only.. You need a ton of idiotic japan only games, games that all others dont even understand, the ps2 and the wii now have a lot.
FFXIII will have an impact as well as GT5 and MGS4, but it wont be enough. Not that i care who wins japan, I just wish to see KH3 with epic graphics.
I like technology when its moving forward..
PSN: methys
I just think your guys have some strange thoughts, if square-enix is only thinking on profit, why isn't Star Ocean 4 not coming for Wii? Actually why don't they stop with making Wii/360/PS3 games and only make DS games.
DS games=most profit
And also don't let us forget about White Knight Story, The Last Remnant and Eternal Sonata. Small games, but they will all give a boost.
And I expect that MGS4 is going to sell 1 million in Japan alone. (the expectations of konami btw) Why? This game is going to be ONE of the games in this generation. And I'm pretty sure this is going to be the most popular MGS game in Japan. Also don't forget that the limited editon PS3 MGS4 was already sold out within a few days, that does mean something right?

Actually why don't they stop with making Wii/360/PS3 games and only make DS games. We don't know yet where Star Ocean will go, but I assume a HD console. These games take 3 years to make. When development began everyone was convinced that PS3 would easily win this gen. That's why so many big games are coming. Development started 3 years ago. Because a) A company must spread its risk and b) different platforms have a business opportunity. But further on in every generation, when it becomes clear who has the biggest userbase, more and more games will come to a single platform. Handhelds and consoles are different markets really. DS games=most profit And also don't let us forget about White Knight Story, The Last Remnant and Eternal Sonata. Small games, but they will all give a boost. These games are easily smaller than Yakuza, Dynasty Warriors, Devil May Cry, Minna no Golf and Gundam. They didn't really give a boost, did they? And I expect that MGS4 is going to sell 1 million in Japan alone. (the expectations of konami btw) Why? This game is going to be ONE of the games in this generation. And I'm pretty sure this is going to be the most popular MGS game in Japan. Also don't forget that the limited editon PS3 MGS4 was already sold out within a few days, that does mean something right? Maybe MGS4 will sell a million in Japan, but the maximum console boost can't be higher than around 300.000 on a game that sells a million. Don't forget that the really hardcore Sony fans already have their PS3's. We don't know how much MGS-PS3 there are, so that's pure speculation, but we can say that 100.000 is not really limited. The Yakuza PS3 only had 12.000 units. |

I know that, it says the same thing on the box. All I'm saying is, one argument and Disney could take Kingdom Hearts and give it to the people who made their crappy movie->games knockoffs and make money off of it and ruin a game that SE made hugely popular. I just think there is something in the contract that wouldn't give Disney full power over the franchise because that would be rather stupid on SE part.

How nice of you to mention the DS, because it is a 3rd party software powerhouse. That is exactly the scenario we will see for Wii within a year. Yes, more and more games will come to Wii, because it is more profitable. Sure there will be some blockbusters that will come to PS360, because combined they have 50% marketshare, but Wii's development cost and Japanese userbase will make sure that at least the Japanese games minus FF will all come to Wii. Siren is not anywhere near Fatal Frame. Plus it's a remake and last thing I heard was that PS3 fans hated remakes... MGS4 has enormous hype, still in Japan it won't in all likelyhood sell a million, so how big a hardware boost did you have in mind. The gap between PS3 and Wii will be around 7 million end of year, a MGS4 boost of 300.000 max doesn't make a huge difference. Even FF can't sell 2 million consoles on it's own. |
Where'd you get that idea? Many PlayStation fans have been clamoring for a FFVII remake since the ps3 was announced.
1/ MGS4/FFXIII will not save the PS3 in Japan (just minor boost)
2/ MGS4/FFXIII will both sell greatly whatever the PS3 has a 2-3-4M userbase in Japan.
Time to Work !

That has already happened though. The mobile phone version had no Square-Enix involvement. The reason Disney won't switch the series over to a new developer is due to corporate relations. Disney loves the extra cash Kingdom Hearts brings in. Switching to a new developer would put that source of money in jeopardy. Once they made the switch there is next to no chance that Square-Enix will let them come crawling back without a huge sacrifice on Disney's part. In order to keep the money fights coming they will stay with the developer they know can deliver rather than risk it with someone who might not be able to.
IS MH2 psp saviour in Japan?
Same question about FFXIII. =)
You really should stop worrying, sales will gain as more Japanese oriented games will come. :)
To create HD game more time is needed.

| Ajax said: lol guess i missed that FFXIII might still launch in december in Japan though Sony might put the pressure on Square, and Square might understand it actually only reason for Square not wanting to ship in the same fiscal year, is cause they want to have two nice fiscal year figures Sony must work something out with them but on the other hand FFXIII might just not be ready in december |
Remember what happened last time Sony rushed a developer?

No, it wasn't actually. The PSPs savior was the PSP slim. The release of the slim doubled the sustained sales of the system.
