Aparently next week will be good for PSP. Monster Hunter sold 500,000 just last week.

But actually, I'm glad about that... I mean... this new PSP version is not the next chapter. So, I wonder how many people will buy Monster Hunter on the Wii =p

And if Monster Hunter on PSP has sold 600,000 in one day, I wonder how Dragon Quest IX will do on DS. It's going to be insane.

Fernando,

Perhaps you don't realize people use PSP for gaming. On DS Dragon Quest won't sell very well because people use the DS primarily for its main function Pictochat.

Same with Wii people only use it for its main function which is making a Mii.

Really... with people like you is hard to discuss... I don't even know where you come from...

I prefer prefer to have a discussion with KrazyKen... at least he is more intelligent than you.

Okay listen, although you are right perhaps that those titles you listed will have sales, honestly people who like those games are sony faithfuls who don't have those systems so don't epect megaton sales.

Yeah, right... that's why Square Enix, Atlus, even Mistwalker are supporting the DS, a lot more than the PSP... specially Atlus and Square, the biggest RPG's developers.

The main next Dragon Quest is going to be on the DS, and that game sells more than Final Fantasy.

Same Monster Hunter 3, the next game on the series is going to be on Wii. And if Capcom did that, is because they now they are going to sell more.

The DS is very different from the Wii. It has a lot of support from third parties, and every game has a chance to sell millions. Heck, there are more millions sellers from third parties on the DS than in the PS3.

And there are more third parties million sellers on the Wii than in the PS3. And that is a fact.

why must you start list wars?

"The main next Dragon Quest is going to be on the DS, and that game sells more than Final Fantasy."

Well the Final Fantasy series combined has more overall sales.

"Same Monster Hunter 3, the next game on the series is going to be on Wii. And if Capcom did that, is because they now they are going to sell more."

So you admit Wii is a good way to get quick cash which allows devs, and publishers to create actual quality titles with big budgets on systems like PS3.

" every game has a chance to sell millions. Heck, there are more millions sellers from third parties on the DS than in the PS3."

Well the DS has been out longer so obviously PS3 has less sales so less of a chance of having more games with a million plus sales.

"And there are more third parties million sellers on the Wii than in the PS3. And that is a fact."

But how many of those million sellers are actually any good?

Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest both started on Nintendo consoles. The best Final Fantasy (VI) is still part of Nintendo games.

Dumbass.

Ah it's sad Samfish, but I suppose joystiq (and the internets) would be less fun without wild, rage inducing claims to argue over:

Wii Fanboy: I like the Wii, but the 360 and PS3 have their merits.

PS3 Fanboy: While I like the PS3, I must say that white box has brought new interest to the gaming industry. Bravo.

360 Fanboy: Good points fellas, and might I say that this competition has expanded all our options. Dare I say we all contributed to this gaming Nirvana? I shall dedicate my next two teabaggings to you guys!

Wii & PS3: Awww.

funny how you Nintendonald's cheerleaders ignore the fact that PS2 is still raping LameCube. haha infact seems like Ninendonald's even gave up producing LameCubes altogether lol.

the only reason Nintendonald's has finally managed to outsell a PlayStation system in 12 years is by selling the hardware and software for significantly less and by targeting a different demographic because they realised after getting raped twice by PS1 and PS2 that they cant compete directly with Sony.

Curmeo - I understand what you're saying and I agree, but the Wii is enjoying huge success in the sales department. There's no denying Nintendo got their groove back and found a huge, wide, popular niche.

Too bad it seems to be surprising to even themselves, as they still can't make enough of them. It's like they didn't even know they were inventing sliced, motion-controlled bread.

Btw, in your avatar the 360 would win. It's sold more and has better (higher rated) games.

Just incase you wanted to know the outcome of that fight.

Not sure I get the Nintendonald's joke, BUT I do have a Wii and like it thus far. If you don't, that's fine, but don't try and tell people who do that they're wrong. That will only make you look like a jackass, but going by your other posts, you probably won't care.

Oh that's nice. But how bout the ps3? Shouldn't that be doing better than the wii? Since you know and is more graphically powerful than the Wii. And yet it only managed to sell 12,000 this week in it's homeland?


Ouch.

Yeah I'm in a pissy mood.

If 360 doesn't sell in japan, one of the biggest game making countries, we'll see less jp games and it puts 360 on the path of doom.

there is no path of doom anymore. that's what people don't get. no console is going fail. people have become gadget junkies and brand loyalty is meaning less and less. you can thank microsoft for that. since throwing their hat into the ring, the gaming fanbase has grown due to competition. just think, this is ms's 2nd console attempt. they already outpace a sony brand that's been around much longer. BUT, even though people are buying 360s like hotcakes, they are also buying ps3s now. oh yeah, and that wii thing too. anyway, it is what it is and that's all that it is. no war anymore. no "second dreamcast." people just like gaming variety now. just remember that.

Probably not doomed.

I will not buy 360 - not only because of RROD horror stories - but mainly because there are not enough RPGs for it I like. I was almost settled to buy PS2 - when I realized that many successful PS2 games are ported to Wii - I stopped bothering and just wait for the games. They'll be cheap and they'll be good.

What 360 needs - is less control from MSFT. If 360 would ever get piles of crap Wii enjoys right now, I would definitely consider buying it. In piles of sh*t games there are always couple of gems worth playing and replaying. So called "AAA titles" became boring unoriginal and repetitive on the 360 - on-line is only worthy feature which I cannot enjoy because I do not have enough time (and it costs too much money to keep it idle between my game sessions).

Fernando, please stop, you're overwhelming my sense of irony. Seriously, you can't see that you've done the same damn thing in the past?

The only friggin' thing that separates you from them is that you chose platforms that are selling better. So when you troll, it is slightly less divorced from reality...but only slightly.

Well, to be fair to Fernando, he's been a Wii troll since well before this generation's winner was clear.

He just gets to be the happy troll, while the others just come across as bitter.
