Weekly Analysis, 28 August 2010 - DS, X360 at the top - Wii Jumps

"Wii and PSP saw an increase in sales week on week, while all other systems are down. The Xbox 360 is now the only system up year on year as the PS3 received a massive boost one year ago due to a price drop on the old model and some retailers releasing the PS3 Slim a week early. Week on week software sales are up for the Wii, Xbox 360 and PSP while down for the PlayStation 3 and DS."

Interesting. Not bad for a console with "no games derp derp".

Certain fanboys may want to stop counting their chickens before they hatch.

Fred-G-Sanford5012d ago (Edited 5012d ago )

The 360 can't be stopped.

The 360 is like Godzilla, and the PS3 is like the Japanese people that throw stones at him. lol

My penis is bigger, than yours.

Bigpappy5013d ago

Sony should try brining the white PS3 to the west. That might PS some current owners to rebuy. It is going to be tough for GT5 to beat the impact of Halo and Kenect.

Cevapi885012d ago

gt5 contending for holiday sales with Halo?...Yes....kinect contending with GT5??

DA FUK is wrong with you?!

emil15012d ago

always when i read vg charts it's always bad news about ps3.

so last week ps3 outsold x360 in japan by 22k http://www.el33tonline.com/... but according to fake charts x360 outsold ps3 worldwide by 56k so last week x360 has sold 79k more units than ps3 in us and europe? yeah right.

Hallmark Moment5012d ago

The 360 is outselling the PS3 worldwide. 360 is outselling the Wii according to NPD by almost twice the amount. The 360 is outselling PS3 worldwide just as sure as it was saying PS3 was outselling the 360 worldwide over 8 weeks ago lol Remember PS3 fanboys knew the PS3 *was* outselling the 360 in the past going on VGC LMAO

Death24945012d ago

why it's taking VGchartz so long to update their numbers. Sony announced at e3 that they were beyond 39million but they never updated it. Hmmm, VGchartz really? But it makes sense that 360 is outselling the competition because of the relaunch of the new system. But look at the software sales, that tells the entire story "repurchases".

Silly gameAr5012d ago

360 fanboys are the only ones I see. Glad this means so much to them.

Skadoosh5012d ago

I only see 2 360 fanboy comments so far. I guarantee if this was the other way around and the ps3 was winning this article would be flooded with sony fanboys.

saint_seya5012d ago (Edited 5012d ago )

@skadoosh
U only see 2 360 fanboys comments because:
*1: ure web browser isnt working right
*2: ure screen isnt working (only u can see 30% of your screen)
*3: u dont know what a fanboy is/ how to identificate it!
*4: ure a 360 fanboy and ure saying that just to anoy other fanboys (i think this the correct answer!)
*5: u have some weird problem that doesnt allow u to read properly
*6: sum of all the others

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya484d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled484d ago (Edited 484d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney483d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled483d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist483d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin484d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled484d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE483d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi483d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE483d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
