Originally posted by Glyph Phoenix Losing DQ is terrible because it's a guaranteed sell in Japan - a few million carts for sure at launch along with a healthy handful of DS systems to boot. It's not like Nintendo *NEEDS* DQIX for the DS, but it's certainly a nice little surprise and - let's be honest - Sony could have used it for the PSP. |

Originally posted by Glyph Phoenix They don't completely have FF. If you ask how, then you have forgotten about Crystal Chronicles, (And it's up coming sequels) along with it's re-releases of the older FF games. 3 people returned their PS3s at our local GameStop... Today. |

Originally posted by Colin Ahaha, I didn't hear about that. Man, wasn't Square jumping ship one of the things that made Sony's console business in the first place? They have FF still, but losing DQ is pretty terrible. |

Heh, my DM told us that we shouldn't sell them the PRP with the system and if there is a problem, they need to take it up with Sony since we do not have that many units. |

Yeah, we only got 4 in too, but we've gotten 3 or 4 more returned. |

Originally posted by NSNick I'll have my customers head to your store then. I can't keep mine in stock for more than 5 minutes. And getting only 4 units in doesn't help either. |

Now they lost Virtua Fighter.
Not that I've ever cared for those games, but yeah. There's another loss. However like others are saying, not seeing DQIX on the PS3 or anything is gonna hurt them. |
NSNick Posts: 1985/2228 |
We've been getting a good amount of returns on the PS3, probably due to the fact that Ebay prices have come down to barely over cost.
And we haven't been selling out of the ones we have. I think right now, we're sitting on like 4 or 5. |

Originally posted by Colin Truthfully, the loss of DQIX is maybe their biggest setback yet, at least in Japan. Seriously, DQ in Japan is like FF (If not even bigger than that; horror stories of DQ launches as chaotic as those of the current-gen consoles go back to DQIII in Japan, as one of the very early issues of Nintendo Power will tell you) over there. I mean, Christ. |

As long as Sony have great games and a quick rate to create consoles, they are still in the game. If not, they probably won't have a chance and the Sony reign shall end...that's what I think. Having that much low units is pretty sad though... |

I think we need to stop reporting on Sony's mistakes and make a big deal over the next thing that they actually do RIGHT.
(Sony losing Dragon Quest IX to Nintendo - more specifically, the DS - is another huge slap in the face.) |

Sadly, I think they're trying to impress the young blogging crowd mostly, which explains that really bad myspace like grammar.
But it only make Sony look like they're thinking that their consumers is illiterate. Then, alot of PS3 related commercial seems to feature alot with rap and hiphop... or people who looks like they perfom/like it alot in almost a silly way. |

Sony should learn that not everyone on the internet uses such horrible grammar if they want to make a real attempt at posing as regular people. |
Ailure Posts: 2260/2602 |
I know it's suppoed to look amataurish... but I doubt even gulliable people would buy a PSP after that atrocity to ad. XD
and judging most comments on Youtube... people are either upset or just confused about this. XD |

Thought this deserved a bump.
Reason for, Sony did something stupid again. The story Yeah, nice work trying to market sony, It will turn out great! Just like wall-mart's myspace ripoff. |
