Infinite Undiscovery, price cut help Xbox 360 outsell Wii in Japan

I didn't like Infinite Undiscovery. I played for an hour, where after the typical boring cutscenes and impossible early battle, I was forced to give up for fear of trashing a controller.

I went back to the infinitely superior Tales Of Vesperia.

You should have stuck with it for more than the first hour. Many reviews have noted the game's inauspicious start. It's pretty painful for a bit, then it really gets rolling. I'm about ten hours in, and it's far better than the first couple of hours. Reminds me of a mix between Star Ocean and Final Fantasy XII.

i enjoy the game.
it is hard at times because nobody helps you through a lot of the game.
the free battle system is good a change from turn based.
the game is about 30 hours campaign so its not short and not too long.
i am about 18 hours into the game on disc 2 just beat the port zala boss, which took me about

dale- p.s.**spoiler alert for some** - the immpossible first battle is immpossible, u have to avoid it.. there are a few early battles that need to be avoided.

RPG's can be frustrating at times and this one has a few of those times.

OHHH YEAHHHHH!!!!

How is the 360 going from near 1000 in a week to 28000 the result of Wii supply "shortage"?

If anything the PS3 should've got those sales but instead all is backwards and 360 wins in a Japan (for a week).

Does anyone still believe the whole "2 year Wii shortage" is anything less than Nintendo intentionally constraining the supply?

Nobody in electronics fails to ramp up production to meet demand over a 2 year span. Nobody.

Fabulous!

...and this has something to do with this particular story how? o_O

My bad, wrong website!

Oh shit. Average bought a Ps3 instead. MICROSOFT IS DOOMZ I TELL YA'S. DOOOOOMZ!!!

Naive game is so naive. SO CUUUUTE!!!

I meant gamer.

Goddammit why is there no edit option yet?

How is paying a third party really that different to paying your own development staff to get exclusive software?

At the end of the day, it's about making sure your system has games that people want... and I am glad that Microsoft seem to realise this now.

yeah, because it makes so much sense for Square, who has historically supported Sony, with no incentive whatsoever to ignore the PS3's 16 million install base.

before sony there were strictly nintendo whts ur point buddy?

@juju187

NES, SNES, PS1 and PS2's high install-base was incentive enough for Square to make exclusives for those systems. 360's isn't, especially in Japan, where it's install base isn't even a third of PS3's. granted, i see nothing wrong with Square supporting 360, but to support them exclusively makes little sense financially, unless Microsoft offered an under-the-table incentive.

moving systems can qualify as an installed base eventually

artimus- BTW. Microsoft Game Studios owns the rights to this game and co-published the game with square. Microsoft bought the game and took the risk not sony.

i bet if sony ps3 had this game you wouldnt have even that comment:wanna say kudos to Microsoft, but i'm sure they paid for this exclusive, so i'm not saying it. companies paying for exclusives (yes, even Sony) just doesn't sit too well with me. plus, i have no interest in IU.

did ff7, and gta, and other games sony paid for sit well with you on ps1 and ps2?

atrimus- u must be young or something..
historically speaking squareSOFT had been making games for nintendo systems, you know the original final fantasy games.

square has made games for nintendo first, then sony, and for some reason now microsoft and nintendo again.

they have been smart in making games for the most popular console during each generation.
that is smart for square to be around all these years making games for all of us on the most popular consoles.
1) nintendo- most popular before 97
2) sony- most popular 97-2006
2) microsoft and nintendo- most popular after 2006

square knows that games sell very well on the 360 also, at a higher attach rate than ps3.

keep in mind there are 5 million less ps3 consoles and also ps3 owners buy less games than 360 owners.
so square is looking for the largest audience.

and they probably don't want all the risks of publishing and spending millions of dollars.
they want a company like nintendo, sony, and or microsoft to take a lot of the risk also. those companies will not take those risks if the other consoles get those games too.

artimus-
snes wasnt the only console in town. sega was a large market player then... kinda like ms vs. sony now.
sega lost out on those games back then.

u realize that square started making a lot of these games when the install base was much lower. u know it takes 1 - 5 years to make a game.
sometimes in business you have to think of the future and they have made good decisions over the years in their business strategy.

btw. who says square is supported the 360 exclusively..? you have it all wrong?
the last remnant is releasing on 360 first worldwide on the same day, then after its going to ps3.
ff13 is on ps3 and ff13 versus is exclusive to ps3.

sorry if MS game studios maybe went to square and asked them for more RPG's on their console with a big fat check for development.

the 360 was known as the shooter console and now people are realizing it is becoming the all around gaming machine.

After reading all the comments on Soulja boys youtube page, it seems that a black man cannot be president.

Ignorant D-bags.
