When compiling weekly data for Japan, ioi uses a bevy of sources. By Sunday Night (East Coast USA time), both first day data and preliminary weekly data is available for analysis. Taking both into account, here is an early take on how some of the figures will look this week. These figures are not to be taken as gospel, just an early take on approximately where the market will be for the week.
Software sales are quite interesting this week in the preliminary data. Two notable stories will be worth watching this week – the sales of Super Mario Galaxy, and the sales of Mikuni Makoto Unrivaled 5 for PS3 and Xbox 360. Both games seem to be off in the preliminary data, and for those who remember, there was an instance when the data had Simple Series 2000 selling over 1,000,000 units before a correction. If a similar correction is made this week, this article will be updated.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?
I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces
I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.
Singleplayer shooters are still getting released every year, just look up "boomer shooters" and you'll find an an abundance of them. AAA fps campaigns, not so much.
Last year had Trepang2, RoboCop: Rogue City, Turbo Overkill, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, Dread Templar, Sprawl and more
Weird all the Wolfenstein articles.
Can you guess what will be announced at Xbox showcase?
What Machine Games did with Wolfenstein franchise is awesome. The game play definitely to me , is still very fun to play !!!
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
this proves that this generation is far from over! See the results in 5 years.
LOL, nice, however we know for a fact that PS3 is going to pull ahead globally when PS2 owner switch over, even if only 60% come over. they still will be quite a large MOB.
Thx for the news i humbly give my thx :3
I wish to know what is this Mikuni Makoto game about :O
BACK ON TOP WHERE PS3 BELONGS...AND CONTINUES TO BE..WITH FLEETING INSTANCES OF OTHER CONSOLES JUMPING ABOVE
wow passing the wii even for a week is an achievement. If this pans out good job sony, however it most likely will go back to second place, but I imagine the ps3 will have better week to week sales from now on. Just can't wait to see the numbers for ff13, MGS4, white knight story, and devil may cry 4. If they would just hurry those games up!!! ( nah I rather them make sure they are great before they come out, but still its driving me crazy!!!)
