@Ashyne in the end they're just going to remove the soundtrack again anyway like they did with the god of war deluxe pre-order LOL! have you noticed that too or am I crazy? The god of war deluxe pre-order on the asian stores included the soundtrack when they first put up the pre-order. but they've since removed it and they haven't even lowered the price!
really good month. especially since neither of the two ps4 games have been discounted to death in the past. i remember this site making a big deal out of MGS V as a ps plus title when in reality it had been on sale for less than $10 several times.
soo...is ps plus going to become a lot cheaper then? otherwise it would be a complete scam. i mean i'm okay with not getting ps3 and vita games anymore (dead platforms) but it has to get cheaper then.
this doesn't just apply to games, it really applies to everything. the constant bombardment with information from around the world is really getting increasingly overwhelming to me. if you really wanted to, you could live a life mostly without the internet and maybe only use it for work-related things but not for looking up news (about games or anything else really). instead just buy a newspaper every morning and a gaming magazine every month. you could still live that 80s/90s gaming life if you really wanted to.
@wiiware @Grim-Tuesday @Gamer83 @ShogunRok unfortunately your argument about domestic sales not being as relevant when the international sales are good isn't true. the reason being that international profits are very volatile due to currency fluctations. right now with the weak yen it'll be okay for them but it can turn around quickly. i remember that during the wii u era nintendo was only able to report a profit in some quarters because the yen was weak. if the yen would've been strong during these periods they would've had to report losses.
good on them for announcing the physical release before the digital release. something that not a lot of indie developers do. guess i'm going physical now.
@Gamer83 um no? it would have sold soo much better on switch. these numbers must be disappointing for capcom (and especially its investors). Monster Hunter is a 5 million franchise in Japan, not 1.6 million.
oh btw: I think we now should all thank Microsoft (and the concept of competition) for making the One X and having system-wide supersampling there because there's no way Sony would have ever worked on that if it wasn't for what Microsoft did.
@Flopsy i have never seen a more ignorant comment. besides, personally i'm looking for a 4K/HDR (10, but preferably also with Dolby Vision)/FreeSync/low latency MONITOR which simply doesn't exist right now.
the headline makes it sound like THIS news article would contain the "world exclusive look". (which would be weird considering how anti-sonic this site is)
@NathanUC huh? what does high-speed internet have to do with local multiplayer (and I include ad-hoc play in that category)? when you want to play together in one room high-speed internet doesn't really help you much.
@NathanUC it is a risky move in Japan as this game doesn't have any local multiplayer. it will probably have done really, really well in the west where online play is king...but the japanese numbers will probably be slightly disappointing for them (add to that the relatively low ps4 install base in japan)

@s777eventhheaven using the xbox's hdmi in adds a huge delay though. so there's really no point to it.

@Rudy_Manchego i respect that lol
Re: Sony Surveying Users on Potential PSN Name Changes
they should make it at least $10 so that people actually get punished for their poor choices of the past.

@Grim-Tuesday HD/4K development is also much more expensive than 240p development..so yeah...

Re: Japanese Sales Charts: Dragon Ball FighterZ Can't Topple Monster Hunter, PS4 Still Number 1
@ShogunRok there's no trolling. the JAPANESE (not international) numbers aren't good and i'm sure capcom's investors will let them know.
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: Dragon Ball FighterZ Can't Topple Monster Hunter, PS4 Still Number 1
@wiiware um i'm talking specifically and only about japan. MHW has great numbers internationally of course
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: Dragon Ball FighterZ Can't Topple Monster Hunter, PS4 Still Number 1
@Enuo it's not doing well in Japan. 5 million would be doing (very) well, 1.6 million is a joke for MH in Japan.

capcom can't be happy with those numbers.
Re: Monster Hunter: World's Japanese Sales Top 1.35 Million in Opening Weekend
