PSP is doing surprisingly not bad , 360 is doing well bad.

It had two fairly big releases and is riding the tail of Kingdom Hearts.

It has a pretty nice Q1, though Peace Walker getting pushed to April is going to hurt.

American software sales are in the toilet though.  It's looking like Dreamcast bad over here...

damn 360 dropping below 4,000 units ouch



No coment on 360.

You don't think Zangeki no Reginleiv is going to sell over 100 000? Nintendo will heavily advertise it, since it's a First party game, and it will be high quality, and will easily sell more than 100 000 :/



Above: still the best game of the year.

I'm just skeptical.  I guess it could, but I'd say it's more unlikely than not.



Pretty good line up for the ps3.

Looking forward to Yakuza 4's performance.



Looking forward to: FF Versus XIII / LBP2 / The Last Guardian / Yakuza 4 / ICO Collection

I have no Faith in Zangeki too...

The game looks cool, alright, but excitebots also looks cool and look at its sales.

Appeal of fighting monsters with a sword* >> appeal of "trick racing" with zany transforming robots.

The only issue I see is the level of violence, which is less acceptable in Japan than the West.

*Not just pressing buttons, but swinging the remote and having a good reflection of that onscreen



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

LOL, remember back in 2007 when people thought Wii would outsell PSP in Japan...

anyway, awesome sales for handhelds au usual and horrible sales for consoles
