Second, to this week's Media Create figures: Ninja Gaiden Sigma and FolkSoul both completely fell off the Top 30? Hmph. And I'm mildly surprised by DK Jet making the top 10, although I might just have a personal vendetta against it ever since they dropped bongo support. Kotaku posted a vid of the new controls and while they do look moderately enjoyable, it's not as good as wailing the shit out of a set of bongo drums.
I'm predicting million seller.
In Japan.
Oh, this game is already out in Japan? Can anyone confirm if it supports the bongos?
edit: okay, after seeing the video, I don't see why this couldn't have been done with the bongos
As is Gundam:Musou?
I am flabbergasted.
The Japanese love their crappy licensed titles just as much as the next nationality.
July 15th - PS3 Price cut to $499.
Seems true to me. I knew it was coming, but didn't know exactly when...

That's fantastic (really, it is), but it's still got a ways to go until it reaches a point where people will buy enough of them to account for the money that they've lost.
Hmm. I would buy it at that price if HD-DVD went away, as well. Maybe by Christmas?
I also wonder what Microsoft's response, if any, will be. This would put the PS3 and the 360 Elite at the same level.
This should definitely help them on the install base front. It only helps them on one front though - while I'm sure they'll show a spike in sales when the cut takes effect, it remains to be seen whether they can actually make up any ground on the 360.
It's still a very uphill battle for the PS3, especially up against the firepower that is the 360 upcoming game lineup.
(And yes, the only comparison that really matters here is 360 vs. PS3. Wii isn't losing market share to either within the next year or so - and it's not really a substitute product for one of the HD consoles in any case. They fill different needs.)
You just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake
Shiren FC: 3093-6912-1542
Yes, all three providing games, made by the same publishers in the same genres easily falls under filling "different needs"
This is an excuse of a second or third rate business model. Global models don't seek to be different from their competitors, they seek to be better than them. Better in this case being roughly equal to profit and mindshare. Niche market players seek to be different than their main competitors, usually because they just can't compete in their league. Look at Apple. This is a company that fits both of these models for two different products. The ipod is a leader, and the mac line is a niche player.
Granted the Wii is kinda "out of the equation" because of it's stellar sales and different primary "focus" if you will. But to write it off as though the PS3 or 360 is only losing sales to one another because the Wii doesn't substitute either one or fills "different needs" is ridiculous.
The Wii fills the need to play games. The other two play games. Thus, the Wii can and will be a substitute product for MANY people in the upcoming months and holiday and will fill the gaming need of those people.
I'm not trying to start an argument, but if the PS3 is going to start competing with the 360, and MS responds by lowering the 360's price point as well, it'll start competing with the Wii on the Core level and closely with the Premium depending on how much they drop.
Wii $250 towards PS3 $500 - still no real competition for price
Wii $250 towards 360 core $200-250 (if they drop from $300)
That could definitely start to even compete with the Wii if people look at the number of games available and the online LIVE capabilities and HD quality.
If they drop the Premium to $300 (doubtful, probably $350 with Elite at $400) it will be close enough to Wii as well to encourage people to spend a little more.
If the 360 starts to take some of the Wii's sales, then it will continue to outsell the PS3, despite the price drop Sony tries.
Seems likely, though I wonder how much good it will do. Sure, sales will rise because of this, but will it be enough to truly compete with the 360? I'd say $500 is still beyond what the mass market is willing to pay... hell, charging $400 for the 360 just barely worked.
Furthermore, the public was already trained to think the PS3 costs $500, thanks to the near-mythical 20GB model that got a huge amount of play at launch. If people remember that, they could go "meh."
This really is the start of what Sony needs to do, though. We'll see how much it helps soon enough. And we'll see how Microsoft reacts to this. The 360 is getting close to two years without a price drop, which is a loooooong damn time.
Also, I wonder how this affects their finances... have component costs dropped enough to where Sony will still lose only $200 (or less) per PS3 sold at $500? Or will they lose even more? Lots of questions here.
Is D/P expected to crawl its way up to the top of the chart? I remember it launched to much better numbers than any Pokemon game before it, and DS is by far the fastest selling system in Japan ever, but it seems to me like sales for the game have slowed too much already for it to top 7.5 million.
Ah, I didn't even think of that. I'm sure it's coming (next year?), too.
Well, betting against a third version of the 4th generation would be silly. I wouldn't say it would come out next year necessarily, but within two is a very good possibility.
Because it's a step closer to the price at which people might actually buy the damn thing.
I have two questions:
1) What's "Donkey Kong Jet"?
2) What the fuck is "Tales of Fandom"?!
But it is still above the price at which most people will actually buy the thing.
Think about it. People were given the option of the Core vs. Premium the year before, and learned that the Core was gimped to all hell. The 20 GB, far less gimped, had that same stigma attached. That and it had an extremely low profit margin (even for a video game console) for retailers. They hated it and stopped reordering them.
It uses the Wiimote and Nunchuck in a way that resembles the DK Bongos.
Tales of Fandom is one of those Tales series crossover games.
Yeah, but the 360 most people want is still $400.

This video might explain it.
Not really, but I get the feeling I don't really care.
OK. The comments might explain something about it:
Hardly. Global models *constantly* strive to be different from their competitors. Having a differentiated offering, you see, enables lovely things like price premiums and uncontested space. Doing it "better" is differentiation. So is doing it differently.
Do you seriously claim that the games that most effectively display the value of the Wii are the same as those that most effectively display the value of the 360 or PS3? Wii Sports could not have been made for any other console. I rather doubt that Dead Rising could have been made for the Wii. This isn't "same publishers, same genres, same needs". It's much harder to distinguish between the value proposition of the PS3 and the 360 - but I don't think that the village idiot could confuse either for the value proposition of the Wii.
This is simply marketing 101. Differentiate your product so that it fills different needs than those of your competitors. There's no niche here - just a whole bunch of people who look for different things when they play games. Some of them choose Wii, some choose PS3, and some choose 360. They base their choice on what their needs are. Do they need a cheap console? Do they need a console they can play with friends and family? Do they need something to show off that fancy HD set? Need to play neat remote waving sports game they saw Steven Colbert playing with on TV? Need to play online? Need something fun, but are a bit intimidated by these "con-souls"?
This set of needs a product meets is called a "value proposition", and it's evident to the most brain damaged among us that the current lot of consoles have different value props.
So differentiation - or meeting different needs than the other products out there - is absolutely critical to any new product introduction. There's a flipside however. "Irrelevant differentiation" is when a product invests in features that a customer doesn't need - indicated by the fact that they're not willing to pay for that differentiation. You may think it's the most amazing thing in the world, but if the customer doesn't pay for it - well fuck it, you lose. I'm sure we all have lots and LOTS of trouble pointing to the standard bearer for this one this gen.
The entire point of this is that meeting different needs, contrary to the mouth-diarrhea of whoever it is I'm responding to, is in fact one of the most crucial things a successful product can do - whether it's aimed at a niche market or a global market.
You just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake
Shiren FC: 3093-6912-1542
Probably Pokemon though Im talking home consoles.
GTA4 will be up there. MGS4 if indeed it is rumoured to be out this fall. Halo 3 has gotta shift a few million.
The needs are a bit more complex than that - and no, the Wii isn't entirely not a substitute product - but it's not nearly a substitute to the extent that the 360 and PS3 are subs for each other (though game portfolio is starting to differentiate the 360 a bit). I'd argue that you're going to see a hell of a lot more people who own a Wii and a [360/PS3] than you are people who own a 360 and a PS3 at the same time.
That said, for the non-hardcore crowd, yes, the Wii is a substitute product. I don't really see this group as being in play that much at the moment though - the Wii has pretty much established itself as console of choice for this group - and even if the 360 price drops further, I think Wii Sports and the controls keep this group solidly in the Wii's corner. Already developers are planning development to this, so it's likely to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. (Rock Band could shake things up a bit, coupled with a 360 price drop, if it doesn't make an appearance on the Wii.)
The current hotly contested space is more for the 'core' gamer - and with all of the titles dropping this holiday, it will only get more contested. The PS3 price drop actually lets it reenter the race here, but unless some killer titles materialize for it this winter, it's still at a pretty severe disadvantage going up against Halo 3 on one side and the holy Smash/Mario/Metroid trinity on the other.

Shiren FC: 3093-6912-1542
Edit: If the price of the Core 360 is dropped, I am sure Nintendo could easily drop the price of the Wii without losing much profit. Do people actually buy the Core?
Does Wii Sports qualify? (ie. do we count the sales it gets as a pack in?) If so, it gets my vote as best-selling title of 2007, Halo, GTA and MGS notwithstanding.
(GTA and MGS may be able to give it a good run, MGS only if it releases on 360 as well)
EDIT: Also, are we talking US, Japan, global?
You just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake
