Namco / Bandai Not Happy With PS3 Sales, Announce Plans

LINK

Namco-Bandai has released an announcement regarding their software plans for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. Namco-Bandai cites slower than expected sales of the PlayStation 3 leading them to a less-than-projected sales mark of 300,000 for Gundam Musou (the Gundam beam 'em up that plays like Dynasty Warriors). Namco-Bandai's original prediction for the game was 500,000 sold.

   "PS3 did not make a good start, which will make the transition from the old game console to the next generation system more prolonged than we had earlier thought. "This will keep a lid on sales of our video games in the first half, although we believe that sales of PS3 will increase in the second half (to March 2008)," Namco-Bandai president Takeo Takasu said.

   With that in mind, Namco-Bandai has announced that they have plans to release 23 PlayStation 3 games for fiscal 2008 (March 2007-March 2008). The Xbox 360 will see 24 games during the same period, and the Nintendo Wii will receive 37.

Wait, so there pissed that the game barely sold? Maybe they shouldn't be making a game that gets a 3.0 for game reviews.... that may have something to do with it.

BINGO ... Ya their logic on this one exscapes me, It must be the PS3 user base fault that it didn't sell ..What you mean it was a POS game and thats why it didn't sell? They should just be thankful that it sold 300,00..

well namcobandai and sony still have a company called cellius that make game only for the ps3flashattackfina

I didn't know that.  Thanks for the info.

No Bingo! Wrong game you're thinking of. Crossfire is not Musou.

Doesn't matter anyway all Gundam games are crap!

Exactly. Without Tekken and Soul Calibur, they are a joke of a company anyway. Totally inconsistent. If Tekken wasn't my favorite fighting series ever, these guys would be a mockery. Namco, Konami and Tecmo all have presentation S T Y L E's that are stuck in the 80s, and its only forgivable if the game is as good as Tekken.

So if a company makes a craptastic game on one series, everyone is suppose to run out & buy the next one? Sure thing, chief.

So I take it since Death by Degrees sucked and so did Dirge of Cerbus, we should just ignore Tekken 6 and Final Fantasy XIII? Hey you said it not me.

Lol, those are spin-offs on long established games with long times spans between development. These Gundam games are two games that were released within 6 months time of each other on a new system that has so far shown to be hard to develop for. You're not even in the same ballpark with that.
