Gamasutra's weekly column, "Saling The World", covers the top five sellers for every available platform in the United States, Japan, and Europe, providing an important update of sales patterns worldwide.
This week's charts, with data taken from March 10th, 2011, find Nintendo's Pokemon White and Black heading multiplatform sales in North America and Europe, while Koei's Dynasty Warriors sequel Shin Sangoku Musou 6 takes top honors in Japan.
Data for "Saling The World" comes courtesy of the public sales information on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and Amazon.co.jp, with sales split out for each platform and territory, and pre-orders disregarded. This results in a true sense of what games are selling worldwide on the real-time updated service, as follows.
Dynasty Warriors 6 was a controversial game that took the Warriors series in a much needed new direction. Can Dynasty Warriors 9 do the same?
DW9 came out a few years ago and was not met with kindness. You mean 10. DW6 was not a good direction at all but DW6Empires was alright by me.
What i remember from DW6 was alot of characters who had unique weapons in the previous games ended up with either a spear, sword or bow. Some that come to mind was the guy with the claw like Vega from street fighter, the guy with tonfas, the guy with the samurai sword and the chick with the bladed rings, all cool weapons changed to generic sword, bow or spear.
The spinoff strikeforce was pretty cool.
Carlos writes "So, we’re back once more with the next entry in TheXboxHub’s ‘Looking back at’ series as we take a gander at another title celebrating an anniversary - Dynasty Warriors 6, which celebrates it’s 10-year birthday this week. It may not be the first entry in the series, but as a long-standing series that has had a longer lifespan than even Xbox itself, Dynasty Warriors 6 is certainly no bad place to start."
Neil writes: "This time last week we were sitting here waxing lyrical about the Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale and the fact that a number of Ubisoft titles were being treated to a stroke of the discount brush. Well, the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 13th-19th Feb 2018 is now with us and even more Xbox One and Xbox 360 games have been reduced in price - this time though we are also seeing a huge amount of 2K games being included. Want to check out the full list of bargains for the week ahead?"
Been enjoying Pokemon White, great game. Now I want a 3DS Pokemon game.
Dudes, I just caught a Woobat. Those guys are totally the new Zubats.
Ever since my Black version showed up a couple of days ago, my DS has gone everywhere with me. It's been pretty much attatched to my hip lol. I put 8 hours into it my first day, something I haven't done with a game since ME2 on 360 last year.
cash cow needs to die
i didn't want to get this one but im still debating with myself... it's still so fun to catch em all. D:
