SSCOOLCHEA5755d ago

still watching fake HD on the shi..box . How about blu ray on ps3 1080p true hd . go ahead blah blah me to death , you still have a shiibox that cant display 1080p . I love the people that say they can't tell the difference , Its probably because you have never really seen 1080p on your tv before . my 2 cents

outsold the PS3 ?

Bet this article isnt getting past approval though vgchartz galore when MGS4 came out

Anyway , I dont believe VGchartz numbers , no matter who outsells who.

Either vgchartz is crap everyday (not when it pleases you) and people should stop approving them alltogether.

That said , I bet MSFT might outsell the PS3 this month thanks to the price cut.
But its only useful if the price cut has a long term effect otherwise...the 360 might just be in trouble...

kazuma5756d ago

weren't some guys in the forum trying to ban vgchartz numbers?

also just out of curiosity, if they banned vgchartz where would we see these numbers?

Skip_Bayless5756d ago

360 is $100 cheaper and it only outsold PS3 by 7,000 units. Last week was the price drop and that was the small spike it did in sales. Next week the sales for the 360 will come down a bit and the PS3 might still outsell it next week. Im going to say the PS3 will outsell the 360 this month.

xhairs95756d ago

vgchartz is crap period. NPD is where the numbers are.

As far as the 360 outselling the PS3 for 1 week, there's 4 (give or take) weeks in a month.

Skaterboy Tell Em5756d ago

I see you're on your way back down to 1 bubble, keep it up.

uxo225756d ago

"360 is $100 cheaper and it only outsold PS3 by 7,000 units"

Why is there always got to be some form of rationale with you guys. I don't trust vgchartz numbers either. But, Please enough with the excuses already.

If someone use the same comment when the PS3 outsells the 360 by less than 10,000 in some weeks prior to the 360 clearance sale. You would have disagreed with it. Can you say hypocrite.

masterg5755d ago

Com on guys. Please stop believing these numbers.
Last month VG has PS3 beating the 360 by small numbers.
Then NDP arrives and we see that it had almost double the sales.
And that's US only.

My guess is the PS3 did 200k+. And guess what, that guess is just as good as VG numbers.

Shadow Flare5755d ago

the 360 actually outsold the ps3 this week? lol what happened there? First time since october 2007, i think some congratulations are in order. Was the 360 price cut last week? If so then, thats less impressive. It doesn't take a fool to know if 360 and ps3 were the same price, what one would sell more. Considering ps3 has always been more expensive and has practically always sold more, except this week. Enjoy the moment

gaffyh5755d ago

360 price cut was last week, that's why 360 US sales are so high. Although some people on VGChartz commented that the sales were just from people waiting to buy the 360 when the price was cut (meaning previous weeks' sales were even lower than they usually are)

Real gamer 4 life5756d ago

Good for microsoft they actually edge out the ps3 worldwide this week. Probably cause of the firesale in NA.

BulletToothtony5756d ago

the 360 didn't even move after the price cut.. which is weird.. i was expecting it to go to #1 after the firesale announcement,

i think some people are gonna wait for the 60gb better.. as always let's wait for the NPD numbers

Dark vader5756d ago

Yea the well inform will wait fot the 60, but the uninform won't cause they don't know.

Skip_Bayless5756d ago

It's gonna be about the same amount of people who bought the 360 at $300 who are waiting for the 360 60gb.

niall775756d ago

which makes it even more sad

DaTruth5755d ago

Sad, very sad :-( But lol!

power of Green 5756d ago (Edited 5756d ago )

If true the Fire-sale plus the E3 news together caused this. You don't even know how many non gamers I talk to are now going to get a 360 as an Movie divice for their living rooms.

Sure you can get Netflix a number of ways but to offer free viewing for 7 other people besides yourself is unheard of.

every market for the 360 has jumped from 40 something percent to 110%.

Surely that Japanese game could not have been the last major reason to get or wait for the PS3.

Dark vader5756d ago (Edited 5756d ago )

You think cause ff13 was announce for the 360 is the reason for the current sale jump lol? nah its just the fire sale. I know a lot of my friends parents buying a ps3 cause of the addition of blueray. Nobody in their right mind would spend 300 on a 360 just cause you can stream movies online with netflix. Everything will go back to normal once the fire sale is over in NA.

power of Green 5756d ago (Edited 5756d ago )

PS3 just had it's "Halo" release (MGS4) if these turn of events really caused this type of *CHANGE* just wait untill the AAA's are shown/released.

Halo is going to hurt Sony bad; I fear it's going to be on par with KillZone2(graphically) but with a better story and in third person.

ruibing5756d ago

It's more of a massive clearance. People I know who got a 360 simply wanted to get one before it returned to its old price.

And as for the Netflix deal, I suppose most people (the casual gamers) don't realize they need a gold membership in addition to netflix membership for it to work.

Dark vader5756d ago

LOL just wait till lpb is released, it already confirmed to be a AAA game, miyamoto confirmed it himself. Metal gear soliud was not the only reason why the ps3 outsold the 360. If i remember well the ps3 out sold the 360 in may,february, and january without metal gear solid. And with metal gear solid it outsold it 2-1.

And your wishing hoping and wishing that the next halo would look on par with killzone, but we all know that wont happen cause there not one 360 game that looks better then any ps3 game out right now. face it POG, the 360 is maxt out graphically.

Kleptic5756d ago

POG...the next halo will be on par with Killzone 2 (graphically)?...bbwwahahahaha hahahhahahahahhahahahahha...

Sir...You are up for review...

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
