Topic: How is DXC doing in terms of sales?

[Long John Silver]

Well it's for psp so obviously. If they went with a more popular console like ps2 it would probably sell a lot better.

The ds or ps2 sold way more units than psp as far as I remember. Most people don't want to buy a handheld/console just for one game, and there being cv titles for the ds already many probably bought that, so it'd be even more money spent.

I'm kinda hoping they try to cultivate a CV following on the PSP, but I won't hold my breath.

Still, it makes sense releasing DXC on the PSP as it seems like the majority of the PSP's catalog consists of ports of older games.

They did port Silent Hill Origins to PS2, or are in the process of doing so. I have the slim hope they'll do it for DXC too.

possibly but it's gonna have to sell way more, 100,000 sales ain't gonna be incentive enough for sony to throw out more cash to port it to PS2/3. Both the GTA games were ported to PS2 as well due to their success on the PSP.

Sony wouldn't lose any money in porting because Konami would be the ones doing it.

I heard that was just a rumor. I haven't seen anything to support that, but I'll check it out.

I don't think DXC will see a PS2 port. I might be wrong, but I highly doubt it'll happen.

I think Konami is porting Silent Hill Origins already because it's selling pretty badly.

Anyways, I just hope they release the old school version for the Virtual Console.

oops, meant konami not sony duh. Well it just depends on Sony's mentality on the issue they pulled the plug on megaman powered up and won't be remaking the rest of the old megaman games cuz it sold really badly.

Again, that's Capcom, not Sony.

SH Zero is indeed making it into PS2.

However, it doesn't mean it totally failed financially that's why it's being ported. For all I know it could be a Climax plan, not Konami.

Anyway, for the PSP, it's almost the first time it tied sales with the DS in Japan as of now. My logic says everybody there already have a DS, compared to the average PSP owners there, so it's a valid explanation.

Yeah I know, I keep putting sony out of habit.

If they port DXC to the PS2, then they have to release a "Castlevania Mega Collection" title at some point on both the PSP and PS2 like everyone else does, that would be awesome ^^ I think they should stick to DS for original titles and PSP for ports. That seems to be the trend really.

I'd prefer they moved away from the handhelds really. Sure, people say 2d isn't going to work on consoles. But then, we got odin sphere which is 2d, yet looks incredible.

Now if cv was done with such amount of detail, quality and visuals I'm sure the fact that it's 2d wouldn't hinder it from appearing on a ps2 or other popular console that doesn't require the gamer to sell his kidneys to buy it.

HEY. I STILL HAVE ONE LEFT. ITS OK. *hugs 360*
