hahaha. This vgchartz new rumors classification is too funny. Cracks me up every time.
Those guys need to examine the way they keep track of sales and adjust it to be more accurate.

crck5881d ago

I could have sworn the PS3 was listed at 10.9 Mill units BEFORE this week.

NO_PUDding5881d ago

I think it's safe to say we should wait for the NPD numbers at the end of THIS month before we make any judgements.

I certainly can't believe the price drop of the 360 has had such a little impact this week. Bring on the NPD numbers quickly, I am getting bored.

Although an awesome way of thinking of it is by the time we get this months NPD numbers GTA 4 will be rearing it's head.

gaffyh5881d ago

NPD only lists accurate numbers for North America, so the rest of the world sales are most likely wrong on VGChartz as well, which would mean the total sales worldwide would be wrong too.

Also wasn't there a 360 price drop last week? Why is 360 not ahead in sales??

sonarus5881d ago

Because that was in EU and Xbox360 is lost in EU. The sales increased but so did ps3 sales. SO it unfortunately didn't pass the ps3. Price drop in EU should have no efffect on sales in other regions

gaffyh5881d ago

@crck - You are correct, I also saw last week that it had 10.9 million sold and now it states 10.87 million

pwnmaster30005881d ago

i tried to warn xbots not to get excited over this price cut but no they keep sayin the 360 will now past the ps3 and the ps3 is now gonna die after this. so i guess u were wrong xbot, maybe nxt time micro well outsell the ps3 probably wen the nxt console comme out, but only for a while because micro will also fail on that and have many rrod. but really 360 is fukin cheap and still cant outsell ps3 thats sad very sad

power of Green 5881d ago (Edited 5881d ago )

You're not very smart are you?. The priced dropped last Friday.

When Did Xbots tell you the Price drop will work in Europe for sure?.

NO_PUDding5881d ago

I won't believe anything but NPD numbers anyway. I can't imagine the 360 is doing worse than the PS3.

Althoguh I am happy, I don't believe it.

mikeslemonade5881d ago

Who wins? PS3 wins in your face you x-flops!

Maddens Raiders5881d ago (Edited 5881d ago )

VGChartz?

>_<

mighty_douche5881d ago

100% spot on..... lol....

Here come the "lets ban VGchartz from n4g" comments...

Obama5881d ago (Edited 5881d ago )

Eventhough Vgchart always overestimate 360 numbers, it seems that the 360 can't even outsell ps3 with the price cut here.

power of Green 5881d ago (Edited 5881d ago )

VG Charts has undertracked the 360 every month up untill JAN. They have trouble guessing actions that cause momentum shifts under-tracking in one market for one platform doesn't mean its happening every month for only that platform.

I wouldn't worry about the price cut that started on the 14th. If the UK is up by 40% that means even Spain is up by 10% J/K. lol

Change your user name and pic you're giving Obama a bad rep. lol I doesn't look good when a idiot doesn't even take the time to look at the facts, not very Obama like.

E3 is going to be crazy, MSFT will once again suprize everybody as Sony boasts the same games it has sence they announced the PS3 itself.

Bathyj5881d ago

Sure are making a big deal out of this alleged 40% that we havent seen any real numbers for, only shop keepers, say so.

Perhaps if the original number wasn't so low it would be exciting but a 40% rise from 30K in the UK is only 42K. God sale fluctuate that much from week to week without a price cut, let wait a week or two and see if its had any real affect.

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.

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."

ChasterMies17h ago

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

just_looken13h 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

CrimsonWing691d 4h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 4h 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!

KyRo1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h 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.

CrimsonWing691d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h 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.

Profchaos1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h 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_Frampt16h 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_looken13h 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.
