I'll say this a better reason for that spike in sales... :shifty: :whistle:

PROJECT SYLPHEED

on sale 2006-09-28

Actually, Dead Rising outsold Project Sylpheed for the week. That's not bad considering the game appartently isn't being displayed in retail stores in Japan because of its mature rating. In fact, if it wasn't for the Pokemon games, Dead Rising would've actually cracked the top 10 in software sales in Japan. :o

I thought the SP had been selling in the high 1,000s but it was the high 2000s. Oops. :blush:

And as Mojo said, Dead Rising came out over there. I guess it was enough to give the 360 a small boost.

small, thats a big boost. almost doubled

Yeah, it reached 100,000 in the last week of March. It's probably around the 150,000 mark right now.

yeah it's around there now, i'm shocked that so many ps2s still sell. I mean seriously doesn't everybody have one at this point.

DS sells to age and gender markets that were unaccessable until it came along.

Even my mother plays games like brain age and tetris.

It is predicted to sell 20 million set this fiscal year, but there are plenty more people without a DS in the targeted market.

What a coup for nintendo.

Doesn't everyone in Japan own a PS2 by now, i mean honestly why are so many still being sold. Is it people replacing their broken ones, or just buying them for the sake of keeping sony ahead, I can't understand it

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art

      Yeah, kind of odd. I would understand it more if it was an exclusive, but to launch on both consoles and not PC seems like an odd choice.

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
