well poor games = poor sales... namco make nothing that appeals to me on 360...

except maybe T of V

 

ya this..

 

I regretted buying AC6 and also Eternal Sonata.. just didn't appeal to me or I was dissappointed with them especially SCIV ..  

only Namco game I really liked was Beautiful Katamari but then that seemed a bit rushed..  not even gonna bother with Tekken.. and ToV still not even released in europe yet..

Namco Bandai releases most of its titles in Japan, a huge number of them ONLY in Japan. Now you do the math why the 360 isn't performing so hot with NB's games.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

360 doing quite well consider multiplats in Japan sell more on ps3 and yeah Namco makes Naruto ps3 exclusive and it has sold well so it make sense.

Never realized that Active Life and We Ski sold so well.

We Ski, Active Life, Taiko, Naruto, Tales, etc.  Namco has been quite successful on multiple fronts on the Wii lately.

Namco Musuem sold more than Naruto and Tales. I'd count that.

Although, it should be said that Namco Bandai has put out 26 Wii titles, 16 Xbox 360 titles, and 11 PS3 titles.

Nor would I discount Soul Caliber 4 (over 2 million), Ace Combat 6, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, DBZ (over 1 million), both Dynasty Warriors: Gundam games, and Time Crisis 4. All have done well.

And here was I thinking that wii can't sell software. Atleast that's what Ms/Sony fans keep telling me here.

For obvious reasoning too.  With sales like that on the Wii I'd continue heavy support as well.  I think they should be heavily support Wii and DS around the world with a lot of support for PSP in Japan... like for DS and Wii.  And then continued support of PS2 and extended support to PS3.  But it's pretty obvious that support of 360 needs to go down a little bit.  Get the easy ports from PS3 on the system and the exclusives to the PS3.
