Namco hates Sony!!!!

Not really, just had to get your attention.

http://www.fgnonline.com/nintendo/news/17618.html

Namco doesn\'t seem to pleased with the sales of their PS2 games. It seems they have lost 55 million and it\'s Sony\'s fault. They have announced support for the GC (this is very old news), but now it\'s getting confirmed.  Ridge Racer and Tekken Tag might be ported over in beefed up fashion.  (I bet GC see\'s the next Soul Cally too!!)

Just to remind you, Namco wasn\'t impressed with the sales of Soul Calibur (which toppled over a million) and didn\'t pay much attention to DC afterwards.

Now, I\'m not saying that Namco will ignore PS2.  But maybe Namco has found a new best friend.  Future looks brighter all the time for GC...Now if they would only warm up to Square again.

Is it Ginko\'s fault that Namco lost money? He was just posting what Namco said and his opinion on the subject.

WTF? I\'ll just leave this alone and go about my business.

hahaha! That\'s too funny!

Namco got mad at Sega that SC2 didn\'t sell much more than a million. I don\'t see ANY of their games selling over a million on PS2. and PS2 has a larger installed base when you compare the dates of released big titles. You disrespect Sega, you go down! I wonder if TTT would\'ve seen about a hlaf million more sales if on DC? Probably. OR SC2, another million easy.

Namco is like EA, way too full of themselves. Their games dont sell well, they blame the system. Maybe the games just suck (my opinion, SC and TTT reak of crap, but of course I have VF3, and soon VF4!)

I know Tekken would have sold like crazy on DC.  Every DC owner was yelling for it.  But Namco has taken a blow and realizes they must move to greener pastures.

"Ginko hates Sony!!!!"  I like it, maybe my next thread will have that heading...

I\'m truly sorry for you. You can\'t hear any medicore or bad PS2 news without getting in a tissy fit. Come on, its not Ginko\'s fault. He is allowed to post news as he sees fit and he didn\'t try to start an argument,like you are.
Give it a rest. By the way, if you are going to correct Gohan\'s english skills, you may want to check yours. It would be "You\'re funny." . Not "Your funny". Just a tip.

Namco cannot afford to keep all the great titles on one system now\'a\'days. In my opinion, expect Tekken or Ridge Racer on the Xbox eventually. I also wouldn\'t be suprised if we don\'t see Soul Calibur 2 on another system, other then the PS2. Though, I am sure it will also be on the PS2. All three systems coming out, will depend on third party support to a huge degree. Its great for third party developers. They can either (1) sign a contract giving exclusive rights to a game to one system or (2) go make money on each system. It is a great time to be a third party developer.

I think he was kidding around when he made fun of Gohan, but I could be wrong.

Come on Living-In-Clip,you\'re an intelligent person...what should you think if someone reports only "bad" news for a console?  What should you think if BizioEE burst into a Sega-Forum reporting only bad news?  Be coherent Clip

...so yeah is wrong.....Your or You\'re or You are is the same in a Forum...it\'s not an essay  and however I was only joking with Gohan,I wasn\'t going to correct Gohan\'s english skills...You are funny Clip...

Namco will develop mainly for PS2,but sure we\'are going to see some game like RR5 and TTT on GameCube or X-Box!
"Next up for Sony is a networking service for PlayStation 2 consoles that are equipped with a hard disk. The service, which is scheduled to be rolled out in July 2001, is called a “solution package,”, and is designed to protect content copyrights and provide a means of billing users for content fees. The network will have a system that checks ID information embedded in the PlayStation 2 to verify to what information the console’s user should be allowed to access. One of the possible uses of this system would be to give PS2 owners the ability to try a game first, and then purchase it online by downloading it to their console.
    The last piece of Sony’s network-related business calls for the installation of dedicated consoles—based on the PS2—in arcade centers operated by Sega Corp. and Namco Ltd. in the greater Tokyo region. Sony also revealed plans to roll out their own gaming arcades beginning in 2002. These dedicated consoles will contain the same processor as the PS2 (the Emotion Engine), but will have more memory, increased hard-disk capacity and a boosted graphics chip."

Ps2 will be the main Target for Namco...and Namco hates Sony is a misleading message!...don\'t be BIAS people:D

I am not being biased. But, Ginko isn\'t a fanboy. There was no reason to try and start anything with him. That is my only point to all this. Yes, the thread title was somewhat misleading. But, it isn\'t the first and I\'m sure it won\'t be the last misleading thread title.

I don\'t doubt Namco will support the PS2 fully. But, I also think with a total of 3 excellent systems being out eventually, that it would be foolish for Namco to only focus the main titles on the PS2. If they focused some on Nintendo, it would help Nintendo a great amount. The Xbox is a prime target for Namco titles also.

For the record though; I am not trying to argue or piss you off Bio. I just think, Ginko had the same right as anyone to post the news without being bashed or what not.

Thanks Clip...

BizioEE, I wasn\'t trying to start anything.  I wanted to see what everyone thought about Namco\'s statement.  Take into consideration that Namco just might find a new favorite console this time around. It\'s not an impossibility.


And here is some good news just to show you I\'m not a fanboy or **** like that.

MGS2, one of the most highly anticipated games for the PS2, was finally shown in a playable form.  And first impressions say...it\'s awesome!! The control is supposedly very innovative, the graphics are sweet, and it deserves your attention.

Onimusha sells like crazy...shows PS2\'s power.

Sony has sold almost 6 million consoles world wide in under a year!!

Jason Ruben thinks he is god...  well that\'s not good news, I just find it very funny.  Make a few Bandicoot games and you\'re god

I\'m not a fanboy, and I really try to look at things objectivley.  So I do take into consideration Namco might make a move soon.  I don\'t say IT WILL happen, and I don\'t flat out say IT WON\'T.  

bizioEE I\'m sure you mean the right thing, but don\'t take it to far, you like ps2, so do I and almost anybody else on this forum, just don\'t start calling people fanboys for every xbox or gamecube based fart they let go, I can remember these very very vvveeerryy long discusions of yours about what ps2 has over xbox and so on, let it go man, ps2 is a great system, xbox will have better graphics (though not so much better) big deal, enjoy your ps2 and let it rest

What is wrong with my english? People say I talk funny but that is because I\'m from Boston.

[Living-In-Clip]

Nothing is wrong with your english, Gohan.

My point was, there is no reason to bash Ginko for posting an article of negative news for Sony. He also posted good news for Sony and Nacmo earlier today. He isn\'t a troll or fanboy who only posts negative news and causes arguments. Instead, he is a productive member.
