16k for the PS3 is news? The real news here is how square sold 100k copies of the ff7AC movie thanks to the ff13 demo. Yay for square milking the FF brand for all it's worth.

They sold 57k units last week.

According to retail tracker Sinobi, they record sales of the PlayStation 3 for last week tallying to a total of 57k units!

Didn't hear of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon till now, according to wikipedia it's under a different company using chunsoft's name.

[The Teej]

Hang on, wait wait wait, a pokemon game launched in Japan, and the Sony consoles beat out the DS?

[George P Global Moderator]

It makes no difference to nintendo, if their hardware sells they make money.

And Audioboxer, I'm sorry, I forgot we're not suppose to look down on your beloved PS3.

Butthurt much?

I was just correcting your mistake, chill out :p

[George P Global Moderator]

Butthurt? Hardly. If you just correct a mistake you at least point it out in a better way, instead of starting off with that sorta comment. Act a bit more friendly and I will as well.

There's loads of games coming this year, more than the whole 4 years its been out I think lol.

Bet there's some good announcements at E3, I'm thinking GTPSP for one. Maybe a new GTA as well.

We had a few good games last year (Star Ocean was great, SO2 was good too but they added so much to the first one that I felt the second one was inferior lol but back on the PSX it was one of my favorite games)

nnnngh, what's with the poor sales for everything in Japan lately? I'm really surprised.

[George P Global Moderator]

Wha?!?! Japan just got mass effect? Holy.

As for poor sales, guess it's the May effect? The calm before the summer storm?

[Rudy]

Wha?!?! Japan just got mass effect? Holy.

well they had to translate it and everything. Japanese games take a long time to get to us (well at least RPGs) so it makes sense that it would be the same the other way around

[George P Global Moderator]

Well yeah, but RPGs like the ones the Japanese make have way more text to translate than something like Mass Effect.

[Rudy]

Well yeah, but RPGs like the ones the Japanese make have way more text to translate than something like Mass Effect.

I'm not sure since I haven't played Mass Effect yet (not a big fan of "Western" RPGs) but isn't there a lot of voices etc ? That can take a long time too....if not longer than text
