Actually, modern audio and video compression techniques are insanely better now than they were even just a half-decade ago. They can fit the entire FMV content of a single-disk PS1 Squaresoft game onto a single DS cartridge now, and those cartridges are 256MB max.

 

Whoaaa... Wtf really? so then... i can only assume they do this with the DS and PSP then?

Two weeks of high sales, followed by a crash and burn, just like every other big PSP software and hardware release. Sony really needs to learn to time its releases closer together; the only time they managed a boost longer than two weeks was when they threw the one-two punch of Crisis Core and the PSPSlim.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

There's not a lot of call to compress video and audio highly for any of the DVD-based or other comparatively spacious storage technology, so no, they usually don't use the ActImagine or MobiClip compression codecs for non-handheld games. Though ADX is usually used for the codec for streaming audio on non-handhelds.

I really think that Tales of Hearts is going to sell a lot more... both released same week.

"WOW" I had to respond to this post to the day we got actual info on whether your game of choice would outsell Dissidia.

Here is the stats:

NDS- over 20 million DS's in Japan

PSP- over 10 million PSP's in Japan

Tales of Hearts sold 143k

Final Fantasy Dissidia sold 504k

Dude you so fail at providing accurate predictions. I see why you got banned because you are pro-Nintendo and pro-Microsoft, you show that you hate the PS3, and it's a shame how you cannot show maturity on the forums that would at least help not only the community but your name itself. Obiviously being banned because of trolling answers my questions and suggestions above.

Have a nice day :)
