Nederland numbers again? lol

Nathan Drake5621d ago

The real lol here is when you couple these numbers with the ones from Germany,Italy,France,and Spain,whatever amount of software 360 sells in UK is immediately canceled out.

This is why Europe is categorized as Playstation land.

JOLLY15621d ago

There is finally an area where ps3 seems to be doing better than the 360. Go Netherlands?

Why o why5621d ago

Sony + Nintendo land. Nothing new here.

Darkseider5621d ago

but Wii Music at number 10?? >shudders<

heyheyhey5621d ago

don't shudder, rejoice... this will teach Nintendo to stop making crap as their "big" title for the holidays... Rayman was the best Wii title this holiday... christ

there are only so many peripherals you can bundle to inflate your game sales.... i think Nintendo underestimated the casual gamer.... they won't buy ALL the crap they give them

but next year is looking good for the Wii... some awesome hardcore titles on the horizon

ChickeyCantor5621d ago

@hey hey hey
It will teach what?
You think 10 in the top 10 is a bad place for Nintendo?
It's in the TOP 10!!!

heyheyhey5621d ago

where's MART.... i thought he said the 360 was b!tchslapping the PS3 in his home country?

N4PS3G5621d ago

and who knows if he's right?
I don't think Neterlands represents whole Europe

Why o why5621d ago (Edited 5621d ago )

and most of the european charts mirror this 1 with the uk being the only part of europe where the 360 does well.

Erotic Sheep5621d ago

I'm ashamed of my own country... Need for Speed is actually in the top 10..

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies4d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken4d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing694d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker4d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing694d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt4d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken4d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Well, he definitely got his money’s worth.

Abnor_Mal299d ago

Same as Shirley Curry playing Skyrim for years. In the next Elders Scrolls game they should have her in the game as some form of npc.

andy85299d ago

She is, I read she will be a character. Not a dig in any form but I hope she's alive when it releases

Relientk77299d ago

That's over 7,000 hours geez. What crazy stats

nitus10299d ago

Actually it is very easy to up the number of hours you have been playing a game. Basically all you need to do (assuming you have a PS4 or 5) is to place the console into stand-by without exiting the game, so if you do this a one hour gameplay actually becomes a 24 gameplay or longer.

boing1298d ago

What? So the game is still runinng when you put it to sleep? What?

EvertonFC299d ago

It's actually sad not an achievement but hey we need the full story details.

Knushwood Butt298d ago

There's someone on my friend list that has more than 6200 hours on Uncharted 4.

vTuro24298d ago

7k hours over 15 years isn't that crazy. The fact that he's been playing the same game for 15 years is more impressive.

anast299d ago

And then you got people that want to finish a game every week.

Rhythmattic298d ago

Nailed what is the Spectrum... For good and bad, Quality or Quantity..Or the unreasonable to reason for. ;)

jznrpg299d ago

Of course you will hit a ridiculous stat after 15 of anything.
My main character for Everquest had over 500 days played in the first 6 years of the game. I was young then and had a lot of time on my hands. I don’t think I could duplicate that again until I retire and not sure I could match it if I tried.

EvertonFC299d ago

500 days in 6 years is nothing lol, you do realise how many days in a year right ?

poppatron299d ago

I might be getting the maths wrong here, I think 500 days in 6 years works out at an average of just over 6 hours every single day. For 6 years. That’s pretty serious

EvertonFC298d ago

Edit: wrote this early this morning, I understand it's lots of hours now lol at myself 😂🤣😜

RedDevils298d ago

The only way to achieve this, is by having no life outside of video game lol.

Outlawzz298d ago

Strange choice of game but hey that's some devotion. Congrats to them!
