Their software for DS and Wii makes up almost all the sales for the week in Japan.

Dudeson426145d ago

No surprises here, the DS kills, the PS2 is still alive, and the Wii is rocking along nicely.

On a side note, I can't wait to get my hands on Park Patrol.

SilvaSurfa6145d ago

Funny thing is... their choice in games is just like their food. Seems a little different but you don't know how good it is till you try it.

Japanese food is delicious by the way. ; )

Merovee6145d ago

IMO, Japanese food (with the exceptions of Sobe noodles, tempura [mostly shrimp or veggies], and Beef tataki... all of which are great) sucks.... then again I hate fish so they lose by default.

total hardware --- software --- attach rate
wii --- 2.985M --- 6.931M --- 2.32

PS3 --- 0.999M --- 1.51M --- 1.5115

360 --- 0.414M --- 1.438M --- 3.473

EDIT:got disagree for stating pure facts from good source?@! why???hehehee.....

CrazzyMan6145d ago

i mean, the software, which must show capabilities of hardware...
the real attach rate without those 2 games would be less then 0.5 - it` s almost pure logical fact.

ITR6145d ago

Crazzzyman regardless what titles they bought, they bought just over 2.3 games a console.

ALI G6145d ago (Edited 6145d ago )

Are you retard ? because your logic is pure retard logic.

"i mean, the software, which must show capabilities of hardware..."
than we will not count any AAA title becuse it shows capabilities of the hardware.

@5.4 retardman, they actualy sold these games. 66% of X360 owners in japan bought Blue-Dragon , more than % of wii sport or wii play . you cannot just ignore it becuse almost everyone bought it.

CrazzyMan6145d ago

i am retard? lol.

total hardware --- software --- attach rate
wii --- 2.985M --- 6.931M --- 2.32
Wii play - 1,442,402
Wii sports - 1,823,711
6.931 - 3.266 = 3.665

attach rate - 1.22

PS360WII6145d ago

crazzyman Japan has to buy those games so the attachrate is true. It's not packed in k

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga1d 14h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1821d 13h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie1d 4h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere18h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow5h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody1d 16h ago (Edited 1d 16h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d 15h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 13h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 13h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii1d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno22h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
