Last May about 30 million Skylanders toys had already been purchased by kids, parents, and gamers alike. That numbers seemed absurd then, but now– just nine months later– it has more than tripled, topping the 100 million mark this past quarter with help from the release of Skylanders: Giants.
If you’re interested in how much money Activision is making from this franchise alone? Over $500 million in revenue has been generated by the series, with 40% of that coming from the fresh-off-the-presses Giants.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate implements region-locked servers. As a result, you’ll only be able to play the game online with others in the same territory as you.
Let’s say you live in the US. Unfortunately, the region-lock will prevent you from experiencing Ultimate with gamers in Europe and Japan.
Capcom community specialist Yuri Araujo, a noted Monster Hunter fan, is none too pleased with the news. While Araujo noted that he’ll be passing along “the demand and feedback”
I’m not thrilled with the servers being split either… I am definitely aware of the demand and feedback, not only in this thread, but also from threads before finding out these bad news; so be sure that I will pass it along.
There is no guarantee this will change though. =/
According to their Q3 financial briefing (how many more of these do we have!?), Assassin’s Creed 3 managed to rake in quite a bit of money for Ubisoft. 14 million copies of the game were “sold-in”, which is up 70% from what Revelations managed to sell in the same time period.
Good job, Ubisoft!
A new Call of Duty game is coming this year. Surprised? Didn’t think so!
Activision shared the news during its fourth quarter calender 2012 results. The company didn’t divulge any specific details, however.
Next Thursdays is Valentine’s Day. You can celebrate the event by purchasing Dig Dug. Okay… the two are completely unrelated, but indeed: Dig Dug will be out on the North American 3DS eShop next week. Pricing will be set at $3.99.
