tsammyc Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 At least its a kick ass Blu-Ray and SACD player ;D TOKYO - NAMCO Bandai and Sega Sammy are planning to double the number of new game software titles for Nintendo in the current business year to ride on brisk demand for Nintendo machines, the Nikkei business daily said. Shipment of game software for Nintendo gear, such as the Wii console and DS handheld player, from three major Japanese game makers - Namco Bandai, Sega Sammy and Capcom - are likely to exceed those for Sony, which dominated the game industry for the past decade, the paper said on Monday. Nintendo's Wii has been outselling Sony's PlayStation 3 game console 3-1 in Japan and more than 2-1 in the United States so far this year, according to game magazine publisher Enterbrain and research firm NPD. Demand for its DS also outstripped that for Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP). Namco Bandai plans to launch 115 software titles for Nintendo hardware in the business year to March 2008, up 109 per cent on the year, while Sega Sammy will be boosting the number of new titles for Nintendo by 96 per cent to 49, the newspaper said. Namco Bandai, Sega Sammy and Capcom plan to ship a total 26.9 million units of software for Nintendo gear in the year to March, compared with planned shipments of 23.3 million units for Sony, it said. -- REUTERS
audionoob1624705779 Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Maybe this is a case of winning a battle, but losing the war.... ;)
zapp1624705742 Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Well, wait for the arrival of the 1st tier titles...Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, Dragon Quest, Super Robot Wars, Devil May Cry etc. etc. That might change the equation a bit BUT i do agree however, that quality of PS games are dropping not in terms of graphics but in the genre development - every title has v little innovation unlike Nintendo games...Katamari was good but that is but one title out of hundreds...
dmateo Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 I think it's a tad bit to early for this. People probably need a change and the new concept from nintendo is apealling.. Some game that were exclusive for PS3 are now starting to have it's 360 xBox but not nitendo. I think what really hamper PS3 sales is like what our bro zapp said, lack of game on the platform... ;D
FookLai Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Well.... Some of the games will no longer be PS exclusive anymore. For example, Final Fantasy 13 will be out in Xbox360 as well. On the other hand, Xbox exclusive games also have a growing sign. PS3 is going to fail as a game console actually not a news in games forum, Xbox and Nintendo are slowly gaining more share in games platform. Fook Lai

Then you're going to have to look to a different next generation system. A Square Enix executive has disclosed to Japan's Nikkei BP that the company currently has no plans for Final Fantasy games on the 360. Noting that the PS3 is getting Final Fantasy XIII, the website asked Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto if the Wii or Xbox 360 will also be getting games in the series. "For the Wii, we have FF Crystal Chronicles in production," replied Hashimoto. "As for FF on the Xbox 360, it's currently a completely blank page." Strong words from Hashimoto, although perhaps if everyone goes out and buys Last Remnant (that includes you!), Square Enix will have a change of heart.

Imagine if Sony was always tops, we all will be forced to buy overpriced memory sticks, bluray discs, dual shock controllers, exclusive hard disk drives, bla bla bla... For me, as i grow older, time for games are also decreasing lol... But looking forward to Minna no Golf 5 and Boku no Natsu :p coming up in July

So far all the rumours are going on for the FFXIII. How about Ace Combat 6? Splinter Cell Conviction by Ubisoft? MGS4? Blue Dragon? A new version of Pacman? Fook Lai
Doggie Howser Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Ace Combat 6 is on XBox 360. Blue Dragon is an XBox 360 exclusive. Ask most true blue FF fans, and I think most have stopped since FF7. if not earlier :)
