@chaosatom, I think this journalist is confused. MGS4 outsold WKC in it's first week and current lifetime sales

Agent Plang...you da man.

Anyway, more good news. This is awesome. I hope this game takes over Japan and makes them mature from their Wii crazy. :)

Come to America!!!

and that where MGS4 stands right now. on it's debut week MGS4 sold 466k and then 68k the second week.

WKC on the other hand sold 203k the first week and then sold a solid 78k the follow week. The only thing it did was sell better in it's second week than MGS4 did. which is factual. but this game hasn't surpassed the 500k mark yet. but it will. It's selling quite well. it's already over 320k right now. by the following week it should be pretty close to selling a half a mill. in this day and age. any RPG that hits the half a million mark is good becauseonly FF and dragon quest games get those numbers in one day.

Still It's good to see that there is some traction for this game. I really cant wait for it to release state side. it looks awesome.

I can't wait for this game, but can anybody explain to me what this article even MEANS?

It says "White Knight Chronicles has outsold Metal Gear Solid 4 in Japanese hardware sales" ...

HARDWARE sales? What? Must be a typo. Either way, he says it outsold it, but doesn't give any link or sales numbers. What does he mean it outsold it? MGS4 sold over 600,000 in Japan, and White Knight sold just over 200,000 the first week, and about 75,000 the second week, so its been 3 weeks out now, how is it that it outsold MGS4? I just don't understand the article.

Concur - To approve or agree with - I.E. I concur with you.

Conquer - To gain power over something/someone - I.E. Country [X] conquered country [Y].

So both 1 and 1.1 need to switch words.

Actually i'm expecting the 360 to drop out this year. They just need to leave the gaming industry to the professionals (Sony and Nintendo).

See I can talk non-sense too

Whine much? First it was Sony needs games, then price cut, then finally need to drop out altogether. You def have FBD. Fanboy bi-polar disorder.

sarcastic comment? I mean, the GameCube and Xbox did a lot worse last gen and MS and Nintendo didn't drop out then why would Sony drop when the PS3 is just a few millions away of surpassing what they both did in their entire life span?

Except your isn't crazy talk rucky. The 360 is on the precipice of falling far far behind. They know that Christmas was their last hurrah. Now they are about to watch their sales take a massive slide. By midsummer you will see articles asking if MS should just quit or "Is the 360 doomed."

They really are idiots, but they are only timed exclusives so I think they are expecting these kinds of sales when it finally does come out on ps3, the ugly bastards

you have those like yourself that say Square Enix would enjoy the same success on the ps3......then I hear ps3 fans who say that Square Enix sucks and nobody would buy their games.....then reference how ______(insert title) did on the 360.

it says WKC trumps MGS4 is japanese PS3 sales, not software sales...at least not yet

rhood022 - 342 days 3 hours ago

I thought that too, at least from the title. But this:

"White Knight Chronicles has outsold Metal Gear Solid 4 in Japanese SOFTWARE SALES..."

makes it seem like it's talking about units of the game sold.

ooooo i missed that. maybe it beat MGS4 in both software and hardware...

Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report

rhood022 - 342 days 2 hours ago

well that's what happens with no context.

But tbh, I'm sure the number is hardware sales, as you've stated below. If it did overtake MGS 4, Sony would be bragging.

Baka-akaB - 342 days 1 hour ago

It's obvious that he does . Either that or he give a quite unhealthy credit to Famitsu or both . Or again he is anti anything "threatening" MGS4

I mean come on because Famitsu didnt love the game , and it's indeed inferior to haze and shouldnt approach MGS4 sales ?

I dont like his tone , people dont buy the game because they want the taste of former ps2 glory , nor the 360 rpgs , they do because they might enjoy it or believe they will .

ViceKingz - 342 days 3 hours ago

no its saying WKC sold more PS3s than MGS4 did, WKC the game didnt outsell MGS4 yet

rhood022 - 342 days 2 hours ago

No, the title alludes to it selling more hardware, i.e.PS3's, than MGS 4.

The actual article says "software sold" which is the game itself.

same, i mean its a JRPG that had alot of hype, and JRPGs seem to do best in....AHHH japan. i mean really, the only other games that might beat this are KH3, FF13, and FF13 versus, and IMO versus seems like the one that will do it.

Because you knew that WKC was an awesome game and only bashed it to try & make yourself feel better about purchasing the wrong console (Xbox 360).

Agree(4) | Disagree(1) | Report

NaiNaiNai - 342 days 1 hour ago

actual i bashed it cause everytime i say something good about the ps3 or the 360 i get negatives and insults throw at me. like just now, i complamented it by saying the game is going to do better, and when the only game that can beat it is a FF, thats say alot. but you try and drag fanboy intents into it, why not noticed the line between where i do a fake fanbgirl rant, and me being a serious gamer.
