Didn’t realise Dissidia was out. Anyone know if it’s any good?

It’s a Final Fantasy spin-off. Of course it isn’t any good!

That’s a pretty good second week for White Knight, though – some of those 360 RPGs couldn’t manage that in their first week. It’s now easily the best-selling HD JRPG over there.

There is an ever so slight difference in the size of the userbase which goes some way toward explaining that though Blerk.

Well, quite. But I’m sure Microsoft are scratching their heads again. The audience is obviously there for HD RPGs, but most of them are sitting and waiting for PS3 games rather than picking up a 360. WKS didn’t even review particularly well.

Still in the top 10 though, innit…

I agree with Psychotext. Although the majority of people completely forget the same thing about the PS3 in America, with multiplatform sales.
But yeah, maybe some devs will take notice.
