GameCube Resurgence Via RPGs?

Posted by simoniker on from the good-quality-ninty-merchandise dept.

Daetrin writes "GamesAreFun.com is reporting that Namco's Tales of Symphonia RPG for GameCube sold 200,000 copies in its first day of release in Japan. It also reports that Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles for GameCube has sold over 350,000 units since its Japanese release last month. Perhaps the influx of RPGs will help revitalize the low GameCube hardware sales in Japan?" IGN Cube has hands-on impressions of Tales Of Symphonia, and GamesAreFun also mention the "73,000 pre-orders in Japan" for GC farming RPG Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, which comes complete with a plush cow if you pre-order Stateside.

      your/you're - learn the difference between the two, retard.

      Unlike the original poster, I know the difference. I'll leave this as a helpful example for others to follow.

      you're - contraction meaning "you are"
      Example: You're an anal retentive fucktard.

      your - The possesive form of you
      Example: Your mother wants you to move out of her basement.

      This lesson brought to you by ACs against Grammar Nazis and the words "Fuck" and "You".

      Ha Ha! That was funny! You certainly are a nigger. Why don't you go steal a car, impregnante a female nigger, and eat some fried chicken?

      I'm not anal retentive, I just judge people based on their ability to put thoughts into words on my screen. You and your nigger buddies do a rather poor job of this.
