Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies sold over 250,000 copies to debut at No.1 on the Japanese software chart during the week ended July 28.
Capcom's 3DS title came in ahead of fellow new entry Dragon's Crown, with the PS3 version charting at No.2 and the Vita one at No.3. Wii U exclusive Lego City Undercover was another new entry to make the top ten, which included five 3DS games, according to Media Create data published on NeoGAF.
On the hardware front, 3DS continued to dominate sales, managing to shift more units than all competing platforms combined. Software sales
The Canadian arm of Walmart will introduce a heavily discounted Wii U Basic sale price of $199 from August 2, according to reports.
A snapshot of what appears to be an advertisement for the store has surfaced online, showing the white Wii U Basic package to be sold off for a full $100 less than the regular price of $300.
The Basic model comes with 8GBs of internal storage but lacks the copy of Nintendoland included with the Deluxe models and out-of-the-box peripherals such as the Wii U stand.
This comes after news that Wii U sales during Nintendo's first financial quarter (April 1 - June 30) totalled just 160,000 units worldwide.
Wii U momentum is expected to pick up significantly in the second half of 2013 and early 2014, with the just-released Pikmin 3 kicking off a string of major exclusive software launches for the system, including Super Mario 3D World, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Mario Kart 8, Wii Fit U and Super Smash Bros. Wii U.
These days, carriers seem to be gravitating towards "less for more" -- as in, giving users less while charging more. For those situated in the UK, however, Vodafone's offering up a new pay-as-you-go arrangement that actually smacks of value. The Red Freedom Freebee plans are pretty simple. For instance, £30 a month nets you unlimited texts and talk within the United Kingdom coupled with 1GB of data. Cough up £40 each month, and that data cap doubles to 2GB. A couple of cheaper plans are available for those who need little more than text messaging and enough data to keep tabs on their email, all of which can be seen in detail at Vodafone's site.
Since the very first iterations of video game consoles arrived in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the tough decision for gamers to make has been whether to make a more practical home computer purchase or whether to have some funby going with the consoles which they know are focused on delivering fun and excitement.
As the vision of console gaming was truly realised in the mid-1990s, with Nintendo, Sega and Sony breaking all consumer records in the console wars, thedivision became even more apparent. With the latest line of powerful consoles set to hit shops this Christmas and PCs becoming even more powerful and cost-efficient than ever before, what should a player’s next prospective purchase be?
Budget
Right from the outset, the difference in price can mean that a gaming PC is a non-starter.The very latest developments in graphics and sound don’t come cheap, meaning that you could be paying over £1,000 to get yourself started with a gaming laptop. The price points for the upcoming PS4and XBox One are around £350-£400, meaning that a much moreaffordable gaming experience can be had in the next few months.However, the lifespan of these consoles is certain to be a lotshorter than that of a properly teched and specced PC. Replacing the consoles outright will work out to be a lot more expensive thansimply upgrading your gaming laptop, meaning that the steep initial fees work out much more affordably in the long run.
Games
As the war of exclusivity wages on between the consoles desperate to sign up therights to release certain blockbuster games, these deals typically don’t extend to the PC – meaning that you can get your hands on just about any upcoming games which are suitable for play. PC games are cheaper to buy too because they are more easily and efficiently programmed than the proprietary coding which goes into console games. With a games library catering to all tastes as opposed to the more aggressive shooters and fighters seen on consoles, the gaming laptop should suit anyone who wishes to have a more casual gaming experience– as well as comfortably accommodating those who do wish to spill enemies’ virtual blood.
Leisure
While the consoles can also lay claim to more and more entertainment features which give them an added edge as the hub of the living room, gaming laptop users can also enjoy the same perks – streaming films, TV shows and music with the help of companies like LOVEFiLM and Netflix. However, one developing area of entertainment which only a laptop can provide is in online poker. Poker is fast becoming the best online experience imaginable – and it’s something which the consoles cannot yet offer due to their manufacturers’ restrictions and policies. With the freedom of choice afforded by a gaming laptop which cannot be enjoyed by Microsoft or Sony, anyone can log on and enjoy a real gameof poker with friends – whether for fun or for monetary gains. Sites like Ladbrokes.com are offering a more diverse way to play than the consoles cannot yet hope to match. Although consoles offer players the freedom of the universe, sometimes all you want to do is kick back at the virtualpoker table with friends – something which, of the two options,only gaming laptops can provide right now.
Whether you're the owner of a local gaming shop or the parent of the world's most spoiled child, now you, too, can make a sizable investment in the momentary, fleeting happiness of a youth with this "life-size" Mario statue.
Available for ¥285,000 (about $2,900) from Amazon Japan, the statue stands five feet tall and is made from fiber-reinforced plastic. There aren't really any bells or whistles to speak of, what with it being a statue and everything, but it doesgive the owner a reference point for extrapolating the heights of everyone else in the Mario mythos. Is that worth nearly $3,000? Probably. Do we have $3000?Nope. Click up on the source link below for the fully-in-Japanese details, but be warned that the related items on this listing are not safe for work.
Looking for a (slightly) less conspicuous take on the 3DS XL? If you live in the US or Canada, you'll get it when the all-black version of Nintendo's giant handheld reaches those countries on August 11th. Don't expect any bonuses with the subtler color, though. The darker-hued 3DS XL costs the same $200 as before, and it's virtually identical to the Japanese version that launched last fall. It's shipping at the same time as Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, however, which makes it a decent consolation prize for gamers who can't get a Luigi edition 3DS LL to call their own. http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/30/n...north-america/
Dishonored and Skyrim: The Legendary Edition are co-headling the latest video game deals over on Amazon, each available for a limited time at a reduced price of $20 and $40, respectively. The Wii U version of Criterion's latest, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, is on sale for under $20 on Wii U, and down to $30 on other platforms.
Other notable game deals include Epic Mickey 2 for between $20 and $25 across multiple platforms, Saints Row: The Third for $25 and under, Zone of the Enders HD Collection for less than $25 and the Mass Effect Trilogy for $35 on Xbox 360. There are also hardware deals up for consideration: DualShock 3 controllers are $40; one year Xbox Live Gold subscription cards are $46; and other Xbox 360 accessories are all on sale.
If you feel like donning your savings spectacles, you can dive into the deals over on Amazon right now.
GameStop's seasonal special, the Summer Playcation, is live now and offers double in-store credit for any system trade-in, and 30 percent extra in-store credit on games, smartphones, accessories, tablets or media players. These deals run through August 18, as does an existing deal that nets the customer any new game for $10 or less with the trade-in of two eligible games.
Keep in mind this is not the Summer Placation, where we imagine GameStop would insult your mom and then offer up all games and systems for free, along with some kind words* about your heritage.
A host of cancelled Star Wars games were revealed in the LucasArts tell-all book, Rogue Leaders: The Story of LucasArts.While published in 2008, the logos for 20 canned Star Wars projects is just now coming to light (thanks, AllGamesBeta). Interestingly, even then there was a tie-in for the unannounced-at-the-time Episode 7, planned with the subtitle Shadows of the Sith. A third Jedi Knight was planned as well, subtitled Brink of Darkness, but sadly never went anywhere.The logos run the gamut from slick to silly. I'm particular fond of the golden era noirish logo for Star Wars: Scum and Villainy, while you just know that Star Wars: Dark Jedi would have been that series' Shadow of Hedgehog.
Curiously, Disney has recently registered 40 domains for a new Star Wars project that isn't on this list, entitled Star Wars: Attack Squadrons (thanks, Fusible).Listed under LucasFilm, these consist of StarWarsAttackSquadrons.com,SwAttackSquadrons.net, and SwAttackSquadrons.org. We don't know if Star Wars: Attack Squadrons is even a game, as it could very well be a show, movie, theme park ride, or breakfast cereal, but suspiciously EA has owned the domain to the similarly titled Attack Squadron since 2000. It won't expire until March either.Being that Disney has licensed its Star Wars titles to EA, it seems likely that this project is a game. Both BioWare (Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect) and Visceral (Dead Space, Dante's Inferno) are developing mysterious new Star Wars games, so this could be one of them.I've contacted EA to see what I can dig up. I'll let you all know if I find anything.
Cowen and Company report based on Amazon data suggests Activision, Ubisoft franchises well-positioned for holiday success
A new generation of consoles doesn't necessarily mean a new franchise will top the annual best-seller charts. Cowen and Company's Doug Kreutz today released a report based on preorder numbers for some of the year's biggest titles, and it showed Call of Duty: Ghosts tracking ahead of all other major core game releases for the year, with new IP Watch Dogs the closest competitor.
The report described the firm's new "ordometer" preorder sales-tracking metric, which is intended to help predict how games will sell through the calendar year based on their preorder performance roughly 3-4 months before launch. The ordometer formula was designed using a regression analysis of the last five years' worth of actual NPD sales for major AAA releases in the August-December window against a number of variables, including Amazon's top-sellers data. Franchises like Madden, FIFA, and Skylanders were left off the list as Kreutz said certain genres (including sports and kids games) have preorder curves very different from the normal AAA title.
Kreutz noted that Ghosts is tracking behind last year's Call of Duty: Black Ops II (current figures have it selling about 73 percent of what Black Ops II did in its first holiday season), but still ahead of 2011's Modern Warfare 3. Ubisoft's Watch Dogs was next, estimated to sell a little under 70 percent of what Black Ops II did, followed by Grand Theft Auto V at just over 58 percent of last year's Activision shooter. Kreutz said the GTA V number "almost certainly understates total preorders to-date, since we have only been tracking the Amazon data since E3 but GTA V was initially available for preorder all the way back in November 2012."
Other estimates have Assassin's Creed IV and Battlefield 4 tracking ahead of their predecessors, while Diablo III appears posed for a reasonable transition to consoles, with Kreutz projecting 1.5 million copies sold this year. On the other hand, Take-Two's The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is launching next month but seems to have had difficulty generating preorders, with Kreutz expecting it to move fewer than 250,000 copies by year's end.
As for next-gen preorders, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One each had a trio of exclusives on Kreutz's list, with Killzone Second Front comfortably ahead of the pack for Sony's console, and Dead Rising 3 the strongest exclusive on Microsoft's new system. When it came to multiplatform next-gen titles, the PlayStation 4 held an edge on every game but one. Next-gen Call of Duty: Ghosts preorders picked the Xbox One version 59 percent of the time, but Ubisoft's Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed IV both tilted sharply in the opposite direction. Watch Dogs saw nearly 80 percent of preorders on PS4, with Assassin's Creed IV's next-gen preorders falling to Sony's system 71 percent of the time.
"One of the conclusions we have come to is that the importance of review scores is actually vastly overstated, at least as far as a predictive measure of sales," Kreutz said, adding "We believe that core gamers are actually well able to determine likely high (and low) quality games before launch due to the enormous amount of pre-launch press coverage and promotion that AAA titles receive, and that preorders are thus actually fairly predictive of a game's quality."
Kreutz said every now and then a publisher manages to goose preorders on a game that winds up being subpar quality, but adds, "we have never seen an eventual hit game preorder weakly but then get bailed out by a high Metacritic score. Bad preorders equal bad sales, pretty much always, in our view."
