okay so trying to figure out Ace's controls here


Square charges up a fireball
X summons a giant barrier. I can also use it while moving to teleport around
O makes a bunch of cards appear around him. They're all different colors and I suspect different colors have different effects
Triangle unleashes all my cards into an attack

oh damn Machina's got dual wielding swords. All of his attacks are various sword attacks except for X which makes him cast Cure instead

The scorpion boss from FF7 popped up and completely raped our team. It was climbing up building and hanging from there while shooting missiles and I had no idea how to attack it.


I'll try this again later, maybe with some english translation notes or videos. However what I played I thought was good stuff

Sounds like Microsoft had the top selling console again at 277,000 units, which is also 45% of marketshare for the month.

--

also if Catherine sold 200k like they claimed then all these games sold more than that

This is the perfect time for something like Tales of Graces f, but lol Namco.

Here are some 360 stats. Microsoft has done an amazing job of making the 360 as popular as it is this late in its life cycle. It's on track to have its biggest year ever this year. 360 pretty clearly going to outsell the competition in the U.S. for the rest of the generation.

* Xbox 360 continues to lead the U.S. console market for the fifth straight month, selling more units in the U.S. than any other console for 13 of the past 14 months.

* Holding 45% share of the overall current-generation console market, Xbox 360 sold 277,000 units in July, maintaining the number-one console spot in the U.S. for 2011. This marks the fifth month Xbox 360 has held more than 40% of the current-generation console market share. (Source: NPD Group, July 2011)

* Total retail spend on the Xbox 360 platform in July (hardware, software and accessories) reached $250 million, the most for any console in the U.S. (Source: NPD Group, July 2011)

They did all of this without exclusives. Sony must be raging.

July was also apparently the worst month of sales for the industry since October 2006, only 8 games sold more than 100k. Ouch.

--
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

the Catherine claim seems nuts given some of those games. maybe Atlus is talking shipped numbers.

--

I would imagine so. It's rare companies mention actual sales instead of shipped.

--

also, those numbers will continue to shrink so long as they only count physical copies.

I would have swore FF12 came out in Oct. 2006.

2006 was an odd year. That weird transitional period between generations.

Sony spin is good

According to the July NPD, PlayStation peripheral sales increased by 18% year-over-year demonstrating a strong consumer interest in PlayStation Move and the Sharp Shooter. PlayStation will continue this momentum in the fall with the release of Resistance3, the groundbreaking shooter that combines 3D with Move and the Sharp Shooter. Our unmatched line-up of first-party software continues to deliver a gaming experience that can only be found on the PS3.

How did Socom 4 do?

Came out right as the hacking happened and is a game very reliant on those peripheral products.

18% YOY on peripherals, bolstered by Move not being out at this time last year and Playstation cards skyrocketing due to the lack of trust in their security system

not bad, Sony

Here's the digital hype.

"Games are increasingly going digital - everyone knows that. In the meantime, the retail sales report for July from NPD painted quite an ugly picture. The industry was down 26% to $707.7 million, as software fell 17% to $336.2 million and hardware dropped 29% to $229 million. Accessories also dipped 8% to $127.8 million."

"Frazier also pointed out that digital is indeed helping to make up for lost physical sales. “New physical retail sales of hardware, software and accessories accounted for 69% of the total consumer spend on the industry in Q1. We have measured some remarkable growth in other ways that consumers are acquiring content, including digital sales of full games and add-on content, mobile games, and social network gaming. Growth in these areas, combined with a flat to modest decline in new physical sales should result in 2011 showing growth over 2010," she said."

Does El Shaddai even crack the top 10 for NPD, even though NOTHING comes out this month except Deus Ex?

...that is a depressing question, I'm sorry, ZFS

edit: Oh, well there's also Madden '12, although I would've swore that got delayed until September.
