What the hell is going on over there?

JDW4360d ago

Perhaps their participation in the upcoming finals of EURO 2012 has boosted PES sales.

Beyond that, I guess the economy problems are affecting the games industry there.

I guess economy in Greece is pretty bad after all when they need to buy GTA: San Andreas for PS2, lulz.

Pumbli4360d ago

Gotta hand it to the Greeks, despite being in a bad economic situation they still retain their great taste in games.

This is the coolest news I read all day. I can't see how this wont reach 1000 degrees.

Edit: Should have put "San Andreas sold more than MW3 in Greece." That would get everyone going haha.

GraveLord4360d ago

It really is an amazing accomplishment.

It tells you a lot about Greece though. How many people are still stick with PS2s if they are still buying San Andreas?

Ulf4360d ago

PS2... so epic. I still play mine plenty.

Interesting that Konami is releasing nothing of note and still enjoying high profits. I guess this is the allure to companies.

Since The Contra Revival Shows Konami Still Cares, How About A New Castlevania?

Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"

shinoff218336d ago

Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those

XiNatsuDragnel36d ago

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia35d ago

well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.
