Grubby filthmongers from western shores have helped importer Play-Asia break sales records by ordering copies of Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3.
“DOAX3 set our current record for pre-order copies sold of a single title from any region in the history of Play-Asia.com,” said a representative. “Our previous record holder was the Japanese release of J-Stars Victory Vs. for the PS3 & PSVita.”
The game is unavailable on our shores as the developers didn’t want to get in to arguments about the scantily clad characters.
“Do you know many issues happening in video game industry with regard to how to treat female in video game industry?” said Team Ninja in a statement. “We do not want to talk those things here. But certainly we have gone through in last year or two to come to our decision. Thank you.”
The Asian version of Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 includes English subtitles so western players can follow the story. The decision not to release the game here is a little odd, especially when titles such as Senran Kagura: Estival Versus have been unapologetic about the tits and ass found in the game. Of course it could be a big marketing ploy, banning something always increases sales, ask Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

Be interesting if it overtakes sales of the previous game outside of Japan, which was only on 360.

Whilst I love TSA almost unilaterally, there’s only one of its writers that I can identify immediately after reading the first five words of the article.
I got this one after two.
Tuffcub
I’ll take that as a compliment

I had it nailed with two words in the strapline. Haha! :D
MrYd
I recognised his writing from just a single word. So I win.
Possibly.
That single word was “Tuffcub”, so that’s probably cheating. But easier. Not by much though. It would have probably taken the phrase “filthy boobmongers” otherwise. Or whatever it was. Scrolling back up is too much effort when I get to type “filthy boobmongers” for only the 3rd time ever.

so, the publicity stunt worked.

I’m 12 hours late respond to this great & cheeky article the 1st 5 sentences doesn’t help the matter but if KT wasn’t so fickle & been bullied I mean influence to not release it in the west this would happen it be willing boobsmaster on western shores.
This is the trend I like to see like Moe chronicic & upcoming moe crystal both release in English/Chinese subtitles that make pressure groups head spin, By uncensored it. if a western publisher does what it does in fear of backlash & this trend from play Asia continues
I can see Devs will be bankrupt because no gamers want censorship in games. & im not talking about extreme violence games they not censored. Those games will continue to grow.

I seriously doubt any dev will go bankrupt because they couldn’t put in boob physics and it could be a marketing tatic used by KT or the crap that was going on over here made them uneasy etc…
