New news today shows the Ps2 is just plain kicking butt!
"According to The Nihon Keizai Shimbun, PlayStation2 shipments topped 4 million units in Japan in 2000, with cumulative global sales expected to reach 11 million by the end of March. The Japan news source also said that sales of Nintendo 64, though stagnant in 2000, topped 5.3 million units since its release, while Dreamcast has shipped around 2 million units. "
"Bandai has released 350,000 copies of its PlayStation2 giant robot game Mobile Suit Gundam. According to the company, the entire shipment sold out in four days. Bandai intends to ship an additional 150,000 units by the end of March."
I posted this in a differnt topic, but ya gotta have a good topic name anymore :( :)

I think its a safe bet to say you can find one pretty easy in march
if you can\'t and the extra millions of consoles does not satify the demamand... then that would just be amazing and unexpected

That software chart is really good news to all of you Sony fans. I been following japanese/american sales charts for some time now and i think that\'s the 1st time i have ever seen so many Ps2 games in the top 5! BTW It\'s great to see Naka\'s PSO selling well. :)
Astro :cool:
-
yea that is great news - but that chart just shows that Gameboy will win the next console war j/k - it is everywhere and especially in japan
Yea that also gave me hope that they might actually bring the gundam game to the us

Yes that would be very unexpected and amazing. I still wonder how high the demand is for the ps2. Its kinda hard to tell at this point. And trying to find out online is pointless..you get some people saying its sooo easy to find one..while others say its nearly impossible.
-
Hey, it\'s great to see the ps2 doing so well, especially since I have one (Whoo-hoo!) I just want f@#$ing NBA Live 2001 to come out!! When is that happening anyway? Anybody out there know? Regardless...I\'d also like to put out there something for Crippler: if you\'re going to post that quote from Halloween after every post, you should spell the words correctly--it\'s "rudimentary" and "purely". Just a heads-up...
-
Hey but think how Pokemon Japan is! Of course Pokemon leads everything there...
Good PS2. I knew your sales would go high up to clouds when the big and hyped games started to come out ( a la Da Bouncer )
And it\'s all up-hill now; the tip of this ice-berg is years away ( I think ) :)
-
Sega is doing great. With 2 million shipped in 2000, + the 1.8 sold through before 2000. DC has sold 3.8 million. Add in another 3.2 million in America (est.) ands another 1.2 million in Europe, their have been about 8.2 million DC\'s sold!!!
That is great news for the system with basically no hype behind it!
GO SEGA! :)

Perhaps he just wants the company behind his fav. console to do well, so it doesn\'t end up like Saturn or something like that. Just a guess, I don\'t know his exact thoughts. :)
-
No, really, I am very happy that the ps2 is doing well; that is to be expected. However, I really mean for Crippler to see this: I have only pointed out 2 of many flaws in your signature. I realize that on the Net, spelling is not such a high priority, and I think that it\'s likely that you are probably 14, but the English language is important to me. Therefore, I do not want to see it bastardized without remorse by idiots like you. Thank you.
-
Are they shipping this Gundam game to North America?? I didn\'t even know they were realesing a gundam game. Thats sweet.

PS2 WILL BE BEATEN BY XBOX BECAUSE IT IS MADE BY, BILL($) GATES

Guys, does any of you know whether the PS2 has environmental bump mapping or some sort? \'cos I saw a demo of DOA2 and noticed the floor is bumpy and the shadow of the fighters fallen on the floor are really like it is on a bumpy rock solid floor.
I\'ve heard tech people saying PS2 doesn\'t have bump mapping, well if it doesn\'t, could you explain this technique on DOA2 (hmm.. or even TTT, I think I\'ve noticed the floor too).

You really are an annoying individual aren\'t you. *sigh*
Stop writing in caps and debate why Xbox is gonna beat PS2. Otherwise nobody listens to you - or takes you seriously for that matter.
