According to Famitsu, the PSP versoin has gone straight in at number 3 in the charts, outselling everything from Gundam to Wii Fit. Not bad for a niche developer on an apparently "failing" format

Hmm I thought the DS is a more popular choice in Japanese households. Maybe I'm mistaken.
But yeah good news indeed for Falcom. Too bad I'm no console gamer.

*bangs head*
I did put both "apparently" and quotation marks around "failing"... I know the PSP isn't the waste of plastic some people make it out to be, but there still seems to be the general perception that not sellling as much as the DS is the same as failing.
I just thought it was good to see it up there - it might encourage them to port over some more games!

Hehe yeah I'm that used to importing I forget that it's even possible that these games might get translated into my own language! Namco-Bandai (other way round?) FTW, right? |

Is this 2 disc like the PSP version of the Second Chapter?

Ya, I remember the Second Chapter being the first PSP 2 disc game.

Isn't the third game much smaller with far less enviroments and overall content? It seems like it. I guess the cow was running out of milk.

Seeing as how LoH7 is supposed to be set in the same world as the LoH6 trilogy... WANT *Makes childish grabby motions* |

Seeing as how LoH7 is supposed to be set in the same world as the LoH6 trilogy... WANT *Makes childish grabby motions* Seriously. I can't think of anything I want more. Haven't had the heart to finish 3rd yet, right before the final dungeon but then I was hit by a burst of 'Don't want it to end!' and stopped playing. I'll probably replay all 3 chapters and actually finish it when 7 is finally announced. |

Media Create's Weekly rankings list estimated sales next to rank. www.m-create.com/ranking/The numbers aren't too spectacular, then consider that those rankings are JUST for that week. Wii Fit sold 29,607 this week vs SnK3rd's 38,805. 40K units is pretty good. The might be able to say they moved 100K by the end of the year. PSP is big in Japan, owing a lot to Monster Hunter. |
