hi all,

"The only problem is if SOny loses exclusives to Wii then they might be in trouble."

==> why don't you understand that Wii is no as powerfull than 360/PS3                                                                 u cannot make a multiplateform game that will be release on the 3 consoles : multiplateform gaming will resctricted to Xbox360/PS3/PC ...

Wii is not concerning by these (heavy amounts) of games  

 (this is my first post^^)

OH, and i was forgotting that their is 2 systems sellers that will boost PS3 sells in japan :

 FXIII and FFVII remake

 be sure that IF these game are still exclusive when they go out, PS3 will sell pretty well                                   (and  I don't wonder a lot about these exclusivity as Xbox360 don't sell in japan and because Wii is not able to handle  FFXIII graphisms ....)

 

The Godfather was available for the PS2 and the PS3 and both versions were nearly identical ...
Call of Duty 3 was available for the Wii, PS3 and XBox 360 ...

You can easily produce multiplatform games for all three systems. You just can't target the PS3 and XBox 360 as primary platforms and then expect a simple port to the Wii to work well; the best approach would be to target the Wii as your "minimum requirements" and then take advantage of the additional power in the PS3 to produce higher detailed models and textures (and to introduce pixel shaders).

Certainly, the best games can not be generated this way but (with how quickly the Wii is selling) it seems foolish not to produce practically every game for the Wii at this point in time.

Is this forum filled with anything other than, "Don't worry the PS3 will be ok!" threads? Seriously guys...

And if the title of the thread is "PS3 not doomed in Japan" does that mean its assumed to be doomed everywhere else?


 No, in europe its sold 1million in ten weeks and thats with as people keep saying "a lack of games". imagine how it will sell when the big games come out in  september to october.

That list does not always apply to game sales.. i have seen alot of games on that famitsu list over time and that did not mean that those game sold well... Hell i rememeber when gundam musou was on that list.. what did it do?? 300k maybe? Blue dragon was on that list what did it do? 50k maybe? i even think forza 2 was on that list at one point what did it do 15k.. so that list means nothing... i dont think the ps3 is doomed in japan but it wont move alot of consoles until a consistent flow of quality games come out... and thats that... games sell consoles people plain and simple.. games people want

No it didn't. It sold (almost) 1 million in all PAL regions, which includes Europe.

This is a thread about counting unhatched eggs.



"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks

this and price drop. for some reason i really see Monster Hunter 3 on multiplatform since its from Capcom

I think for Japan it wouldn't matter much even if some of the anticipated PS3 games do get ported to the XBox 360. In just a few weeks the PS3 already outsold the total XBox 360 install base which was build up in over a year and the PS3 is still outselling the XBox 360 significantly despite the current lack of high profile Japan orientated games.

i see monster hunter going multiplatform in america but not in japan.... example gundam musou... i think developers will start to lose faith once again for the 360 in japan... look at how many exclusive games it has had already... look at the sales of those games... many developers have already been quoted to saying their not happy about it.... from a business standpoint it would be a smart move.. at this rate MS will be succesful in japan in the year 2020..
