People need to understand this.

Like 80% of the XBOX 360's sales are from America. The XBOX 360 has been like American Football, only popular in the U.S.

The Wii and PS3 are like soccer/basketball.

Another thing people need to understand: the Importance of Japan.

Most of the great most popular devs are Japanese based(Konami, Square, Capcom, Namco). Most of the best selliing games come from Japan.

The fact that XBOX 360 is an American made console and does horrible in Japan are a couple reasons you do not usually see most top Japanese Devs putting their top games on XBOX consoles. IF you ever see a Japanese game on the XBOX 360, chances are it's a PS3 game too. Games like MGS4, Tekken, and Final Fantasy XIII will stay on the PS3 exclusively.

The XBOX 360 gets lucky with a couple japanese companies like Capcom, who are known flip-floppers. But it doesn't change that much.

They also need to understand that those are some of the major reasons why the XBOX 360 has zero chance of winning this gen.

It's not a knock on the XBOX 360, it's just facts.

Everyone understand?

The PS3's sales are spread out over multiple regions.

What you're saying is irrelevant, but either way, the PS3 is fine and sales will definitely improve a lot over the course of next year.

I also quoted your imply about Japanaese based devs as being the best but I guess you have nothing to say about that because you and I both know that your thread is bogus.

The Japanese love the PS3 and wait till MGS4 comes out and the next Final Fantasy. The 360 won't sell anything then.

Bungie made a game called Halo 3, it is the most profitable entertainment product ever.

Blizzard made World of Warcraft. It has 9 million subscribers.

Japan isn't the only country that can make popular games.

1- I like Football more. More Physical sport but thats just me.
2- I care about the games more and not the sales. SO i wont lose any sleep that microsoft isnt getting richer on the 360.
3- PS3 still lacks the big games right now. Among gamers that is universal for mediocre or crap. Which isnt worthy 400 bucks. (yes we all know that will change)
4- THere are great western devs that do a great job.

Bioware- Mass Effect,Baldurs Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights, Kotor
Blizzard- Starcraft, Warcraft, Diablo
Bungie-Halo, Marathon
Epic- Gears of War, Unreal
Infinity Ward- Call of Duty
Rare- WE ALL PLAYED A GREAT GAME FROM THEM BEFORE, ILL PUT MONEY ON it. OH and Banjo 3.
Retro Studios- Metroid Prime trilogy
Siicon Knights-Eternal Darkness
Ubisoft-Assassins Creed, SPlinter Cell, Graw, Rainbow Six, etc
Take 2boston(irrational games)- Bioshock, System SHock

This isnt the snes/genesis era where the western devs just sucked compared to the japanese devs. In the 3D era The western devs have not only taken strides to improve but have become equals if not superior in making games.

i think he jumped the gun with that comment, but from a videogame standpoint it has no equal.

IT achieved a hype never seen before. its sales hurt the sales of movie theatres. THe game actually lived up to its insane hype and did an amazing job in sales as well even pushing the 360 sales higher than the wii for a month. IT was a top seller in Japan for a week.(for a shooter in Japan thats HUGE!!!!!!!!)

Plain and simple IT was very productive, it sold a ton, its gonna keep selling a ton, and its well insanly profitable. Oh and they had a slurpee cup. Bad Slurpee flavor. But the cup was cool

THe last part doesnt really matter, i just felt like throwing it in there.

Ya it is. It beat Spiderman 3 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Maybe if you took your head of your Sony's ass you would see that Playstation isn't as popular as it was before. It is actually sucking hard now. In the real world, western games are doing very well.

Just becuase Microsoft decided to market it as if it was a movie doesn't mean it was bigger than Spiderman 3 or Shrek.Halo 3's sales are inflated compared to movies just for the fact that Halo 3 was being sold for 60,70,120 dollars. THe Average Movie ticket is 10. It didn't hurt sales of movies, millions upon millions of more people still went to go see Spiderman 3 over buying Halo 3.

It never topped the charts in Japan. And it did not live up to hype, quite overrated actually.

You can actually go back 9 or 10 years ago and games like Final Fantasy VIII which sold more in Japan alone it's first few days, than Halo 3 did in it's first week worldwide.

You don't prove anything with this. All you did is remind me how much i don't care about socceror the PS3. Why are you wasting your time telling a mostly American croud that others like these consoles? This doesn't change our mind about soccer and it won't change anyone's mind here. Thanks for nothing.

Doesn't change anything, it's still really only popular in America.

I'm sure many of it's 4 million came from when it was the only next gen console on the market.

um no your just hating now. U didnt like it. but a bunch of critics and millions of gamers loved it. It still put up money that theatres didnt see that week. It put up numbers games dont put up. Record selling 24 hour span says everything. No the FF games never put up numbers like that in japan in there 1st week, they were big but never what Halo 3 put up.

Halo 3 put up amazing numbers was an amazing game and did very well. It put up numbers and a hype traind that was unseen before from a videogame. The game had a ton of endorsements. Simply put to not except Halo 3 as a very productive entertainment product is just beyond stupid. But thats cool, Fanboys never accept facts.

THe last part doesnt really matter, i just felt like throwing it in there.

ya, fail

Just becuase Microsoft decided to market it as if it was a movie doesn't mean it was bigger than Spiderman 3 or Shrek.Halo 3's sales are inflated compared to movies just for the fact that Halo 3 was being sold for 60,70,120 dollars. THe Average Movie ticket is 10. It didn't hurt sales of movies, millions upon millions of more people still went to go see Spiderman 3 over buying Halo 3.

It never topped the charts in Japan. And it did not live up to hype, quite overrated actually.

Why do you have to make it so obvious that you are a Sony fan boy? You hate everything that isn't made by Sony and love everything that is. Do you trully believe the crap you say? Are you that delusional?

More like Gran Turismo 3.

I know how popular Halo is, but it doesn't change the fact that it's the most franchise ever and that Most of the popular games out there are Japanese.

People need to understand this.

Like 80% of the XBOX 360's sales are from America. The XBOX 360 has been like American Football, only popular in the U.S.

The Wii and PS3 are like soccer/basketball. Out_Kast3000

Actually it's 64% if VGchartz is to be believed.

Another thing people need to understand: the Importance of Japan.

Most of the great most popular devs are Japanese based(Konami, Square, Capcom, Namco). Most of the best selliing games come from Japan. Out_Kast3000

Fun fact. The best selling Japanese games of this current gen not made by Nintendo are Xbox 360 titles (Dead Rising, Lost Planet)

The fact that XBOX 360 is an American made console and does horrible in Japan are a couple reasons you do not usually see most top Japanese Devs putting their top games on XBOX consoles. IF you ever see a Japanese game on the XBOX 360, chances are it's a PS3 game too. Games like MGS4, Tekken, and Final Fantasy XIII will stay on the PS3 exclusively.

The XBOX 360 gets lucky with a couple japanese companies like Capcom, who are known flip-floppers. But it doesn't change that much.

They also need to understand that those are some of the major reasons why the XBOX 360 has zero chance of winning this gen.

It's not a knock on the XBOX 360, it's just facts.

Everyone understand?

kthxbiOut_Kast3000

Another fun fact. Every game Namco has put on the PS3 so far has failed to meet even their lowest sales goals.

Yet another fun fact. Even Sony Japanese titles have sold below expectations.

Had enough yet?

No my friend.

Actually, yes. If you look at sales, most of the best selling games are Japanese games.

You can actually go back 9 or 10 years ago and games like Final Fantasy VIII which sold more in Japan alone it's first few days, than Halo 3 did in it's first week worldwide.

Out_Kast3000

http://vgchartz.com/japtotals.php?name=&console=PS&maker=&disp=Japanese+Name&boxartz=1

FFVIII has only sold 3.6 million to date in Japan.

http://vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?name=&console=X360&publisher=&sort=Total

Halo 3 has sold almost 6 million to date world wide.

[QUOTE="htekemerald"]Obvious Troll is ObviousOut_Kast3000

That's usally what people who have nothing to contribute and can't stand the fat their opinion is wrong say.

I've said nothing but facts.

Lets see you say the 360 has sold 80% of its units in NA when it has only sold 64.12% of its units here

so much for yoyr "Factual" argument

I'll repeat it again

Obvious Troll is Obvious

Did my math wrong, but whatever.

It's still only really popular in AMerica.

Not so popular everywhere else.

All the consoles are more popular in America. Your point?

I know how popular Halo is, but it doesn't change the fact that it's the most franchise ever and that Most of the popular games out there are Japanese.

Then explain why the only million selling gameson the PS3 are not Japanese.

And then explain why the best selling Japanese games of this gen not made by Nintendo are on the 360. ;)
