DQ series never had high production values. DQ will come to PS3 when production costs get lower values.

Well...

God of War 1 + 2 only took 15 weeks to give updated visuals and trophy support...

DQ won't come to PS3, in any form except maybe PS Archives reissues. It goes to the market leader, always has, always will. If even PSP can't DQ, what hope does PS3 have?

Also, Nintendo's co-promoting DQX for the west, like their MH3 deal. PS fans should give up hope and start planning for next gen if they want DQ back...

I don't know. For example SMG is a good looking game but I'm always wishing it was in HD cuz it's a little fuzzy.

I'm confident that (espesially after the PS3mote is released) that a LOT of Japanese devs will start porting Wii games to PS3. The No more hero's guy talked about it Capcom has talked about it and it could be a good option for people who want to play Wii games in 720P or even 1080P. 

In fact I'd be willing to bet that it's harder to port PC/360 games to PS3 then it would be to port a Wii game.

Suda didn't talk about ports, in fact he's talked more about NOT wanting to port NMH1/2.  He hasn't really said much on the Swand either, he does want to make a Natal game though.

Capcom did mention IR/waggle ports though.  Get ready for Zack & Wiki HD and Umbrella Chronicles Alternative Edition.

That was a misunderstanding. He meant NMH2 would be the last NMH on Wii but NMH3 would be on the "Wii 2" or whatever.

Also, did you notice that a lot of major Wii games from JP don't even use motion controls? MH3, Tales of Graces, Samurai Warriors 3, etc. DQ X won't use motion controls either since it's a turn based game. So I don't see why motion controls for the PS3 would make JP devs port games to the PS3 if they're not even using motion controls on the Wii...

I remember Soriku saying this once a month or so back, and I agree, monster hunter 3, tales of graces ect don't use much motion control.

Nintendo's been making a bit of a play for the "core gamer" market in Japan this year.  Hence the CC Pro bundles and emphasis we've seen with Monster Hunter 3 and upcoming games like Sengoku Musou 3, Tales of Graces and WE Playmaker 2010.

PS3 May Have Already Outsold Wii In Japan For 2009

Take a look at the numbers...
By Dustin Rudzinski - November 02, 2009
Print    Email

In a surprising turn around vs. last year, PS3's sales in Japan for 2009 have surged, and are now sitting very close to those of the Wii. The numbers break down as follows:

The Hardware sold in Japan From 04th Jan 2009 to 24th Oct 2009 :

Wii : 1,012,924

PS3 :1,006,810

360 :284,943

Estimates for next week's sales put PS3 over the Wii in Japan as follows:

The Hardware sold in Japan From 04th Jan 2009 to 01st Nov 2009 :

PS3 :1,044,310

Wii : 1,038,924

360 :294,943

If these numbers turn out to be true (and it isn't a stretch to think they will), Wii will have been beaten on it's home turf in yearly sales for the first time ever. That should definitely serve as a wake up call for Nintendo. Let's hope it lights a fire under them and gets them to release some better software! Goes to prove you can't rely on the casual audience alone.

They are using Famitsu numbers I think & VGC projections for next week

WELL DONE PS3.....hopefully it stays this way, it will be such an accomplishment if yo outsell wii for all of 2009!

this article doesn't make sense to me. Didn't PS3 outsell Wii the first 6 months of this year in Japan? So even if it edges past Wii this week, it wouldn't be the first time. Also, I don't kow Year 2009 is only 10 months.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
