GameSpot:

This is to let you know that I noticed that several screenshots from a Nintendo DS game appeared next to screenshots from Soul Calibur IV. The DS screenshots are in the wrong page.

LOL. The 360 is now $50 cheaper than the Wii and STILL only sells half as many units.

I think MS could drop the 360 to $150 and it would STILL be outsold by the Wii.

The price of the Xbox 360 could be a dollar per unit and still will not sell as many units as the Wii because the latter has a broader demographic which is often indifferent to the Xbox 360.

The Blue Ocean strategy works wonders, while the Xbox 360 and PS3 are dinosaurs trying to drive the other to extinction.

Wii music that isnt exactly selling to well only 50k, I mean compare this to the massive europe and american sales and japan is pretty much dead apart from ur odd game here and therebigLLL

Remember, this is only first-day sales, not weekly sales. We will not know how many copies this game will be sold in Japan until Famitsu or Media Create posted its weekly sales chart. One last thing: even if 50,000 copies does not seem "large" to you, Wii Music may have legs. Just look at Monster Hunter for the PSP several months back.

This suit is a joke and proves the state of California is desperate for money.

Do you understand that it is not the state government that is sueing Microsoft, but California residents sueing the company under their state's consumer law?

I am surprised, i expected this game to totaly stink, especialy after all the stuff IGN wrote about it. What do you call the oposite of a flop? A polf??? Whatever it is wii music could be one.Head_of_games

A "shocker," just like the New York Giants defeating the then-undefeated New England Patriots 17-14 in this year's Super Bowl.

looks fun i just wish i knew the Tatsunoko charactersmurat8

If the game is released in the arcades or on the Wii outside of Japan, Capcom needs to properly introduce the Tatsunoko characters as they are obscure to most Westerners. I personally never heard of most of the characters until I learned about the game's existence.

People seem simple-minded to believe that the quality of games will cause another video game crash. If there is a crash in the future, the cause will be more complicating that most on this forum will believe.

In fact, there are many factors that caused the 1983 video game crash in North America other than the quality of games. One is competition from the emerging PC market. Another is over-saturation of consoles every few years, instead of every four/five years. And other is the number of non-video game companies that created divisions simply to cash-in the video game craze of the early 1980s, those short-lived divisions that produced the poor-quality games most people blamed for the crash. The reasons for the crash are much more complicating that most here think.

As long as there is a strong interest in video games, smart business decisions, and growth in the industry, there will be no second video game crash.

Surely Nintendo will not cause the next video game crash. What it will cause is usher in a new video game age, an age with many promises, one that the "old guard" on System Wars are resisting futilely at this moment.

Does anyone know if GS is doing a live show, with an emblem and all?

The live show On The Spot will take place in the Tokyo Game Show in less than one hour (7 p.m. EST; 4: p.m. PST). We have to see if we can earn an emblem.

Miyamoto is a genius.Why the hell is he involved in something like this lol? Wasted talent springs to mind.

stvee101

Perhaps you do not understand the Japanese mindset and culture which Miyamoto is part of. He does not have to conform to the expectations of Western fanboys.

Why do I get the impression in System Wars that there is too much American-/Western-centricism here when discussing Japanese-made games? Look at the culturally-ignorant and prejudiced attitudes by Western fanboys towards JRPGs, and the ignorant generalizations of Japanese gamers whenever a new sales chart appears on this forum.
