About the sellout... I cant access insider but thats whats what the title says on ps2.ign.com :D
-
I need to get broad band installed in my house before this comes to the US.
We should form a team here. But I have a feeling the Viking race of present day Sweden is gonna hog all the enemies and plunder all our experience points - just like they used to back in the Dark Ages! ;)
-
me counts down the seconds till DirectXbox or other naysayers comes in and says.
"But thats JUST in Japan and its Just Launch figures on one game ;)"
:p

It did it once with the Dual Shock.

fastson is that list an official chart of Japanese sales? If it\'s... my god... PS2 rocks Japanese market. :surprised
-
The IGN article doesn\'t give any sales numbers. The only other real info is that the number of copies available was probably a lot less than when X was released. Duh! Good thing, Square\'s server got buried as it was with folks trying to register right after it went on sale.
One thing I didn\'t realize until yesterday is you need the HD to play FFXI. I had just been getting used to the idea Sony had put the whole HD issue on the back burner for now. Wrong!

BWUWHAHAHAHAHA!
who was ever to doubt?
i\'d like to dedicate this to directxbox and EVERY xbox zealot out there. you may officially eat our crumbs

Its a Japanese Daily Top 10 chart.. Updates once a day.. :)
EDIT: Btw.. Square shipped 400 000 units.. Not bad if they all were soldout ;)
-
i never doubted the adapter add on once i heard top play station two franchises (final fantasy, gran turismo, twisted metal black) were going on line
but im not sure about that 100 dollar hard drive . i will get it but not sure about everyone else.. . .
any ways this is no fun having to wait 6+ months for this game...
-
For a game that was NEVER expected to hit a million (due to the obvious fact that its an online only game. Which few people especially console, are into) amazing. Wonder what will the sales be like once it hits the states.
-
how many did they sell 200,000.
Nice try but even sony can\'t sell 100.00+ add ons and a 40.00 game. even if its japanese favorite final fantasy.
-
sorry folks, but I was unable to decifer lunar3\'s post.. can anyone help me out?
-
And what makes you the know all to what Sony can and can do? :rolleyes: Look, even I am certain this game will not sell spectacularly well because of its nature (online only), but for an online game only that requires the hard drive, even if it was JUST 200,000, that is pretty good. Now, how much they have sold, don\'t know. But given that this game has sold out in many areas, that is still great.
Remember Everquest? The game only has like 500,000 subscribers. Yet this IS the most successful online only game so far. If FFXI can even match that (on a system where a harddrive and internet connection are not out of the box which MS likes to tout for their system) that would still be an amazing achivements.
[edit]From what I can gather on Lunar3\'s post, he was trying to downplay FFXI being sold out by saying "well, how much did they REALLY sell because I (Lunar3) believes that Sony is incapable of selling add-ons (especailly the harddrive)." Gave some arbitrary number (200,000) and implying at least that this was a bad number. At least, this is what I thought what he was trying to say (not in so many words, but yeah).
-
lunar3 = hater
just admit it man, the sony addon is a blazing success
-
lunar3 = a pissed of 21 year old that can\'t drive(just learners license ,just bought a 1997 dodge neon for 3,000 and 1 day later the dam engine light comes on. So now iam like wtf. Just my luck i get a lemon sign 50 papers saying am ****ed no matter what. Yea I hate everything right now. I now have to make a choice use the small amout of money i have to get insurance to learn to drive the junk or take it to a auto shop to see how bad i got ripped off.
Iam thinking about just driving it with the engine service light on but who knows mabye ill wake up in the morning and magic faires will have fixed it.
I still owe 2,000 on it and that pisses me off. So everyone if you learn something from the story always have a mechanic check out what your buying,or get a warrenty.
-
...okay. So...you posted a post that tried to downplay the success of FFXI because you weren\'t able to get a driver license until 21? Or your just mad that you got screwed when buying a car? :rolleyes:
-
Both.

but FFXI requires the HDD :) and it seems to be doing ok for itself :)
-
lunar3, try disconecting the battery ground for a few minutes to see if that makes the light stay off for a while. If you know the vitals are all good, just drive and don\'t fret about it until you can afford to find out what the light is trying to tell you.
Sony sold about 40,000 HD BBas the day they offered them in Japan, I think it was nearly a year ago. I imagine they sold a few since. We should here some real #s soon enough.
