What the hell is going on over there?

JDW4370d 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.

shadowwizard4370d ago

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

Pumbli4370d ago

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

roadkillers4370d ago (Edited 4370d ago )

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.

GraveLord4370d 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?

Ulf4370d 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.

VenomUK10d ago

It was probably due to the half-hearted release of the Metal Gear Solid Collection v1.

Imagine the extra sales Konami could’ve made if it had put some effort into it.

JL29308d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Half hearted? MGS: MC is the best collection of Metal Gear games you can get with tons of bonus content.

Why are you mad? Because they didn't make the games 4K so you can see the low resolution textures and warping better? Most of you cry babies never even touched the MSX Metal Gears.

SimpleDad10d ago

Of course, they rereleased MGS series on modern platforms. Thank You Mr. Kojima.

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?"

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia45d 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.
