Pretty low PS3 numbers. The calm before the storm:|

iAmPS35814d ago (Edited 5814d ago )

Wait for the biggest storm in history of video games.

sl0w-m05814d ago

The "storm" already happened, the PS3 outsold the 360 for 2 months after Blu-ray won the format war and became more popular than HD-DVD. But i'm actually suprised to see the numbers drop this much this month

chaosatom3335814d ago (Edited 5814d ago )

you guys are commenting on Vgcharts. VGCHARTS, I say.

Those numbers are FALSE, fabricated, made up for fanboys to argue.

Remind Silogon down me that those numbers are FALSE.

dexterwang5814d ago

The calm before the storm indeed.

Before the tsunami hits, the water line recedes, and the further it goes back, the stronger the tsunami... what a storm we'll have in 9 days

dan-boy5814d ago

last week there was a thread from mvcuk saying that the 360 was selling more than the ps3 in the uk...then lo and behold, vgchartz estimates yesterday put the 360 in front in the uk. after putting it behind for ages.

then after the npd figures had microsoft infront by a thousand last month in NA, after vgchartz was predicting sony had sold 50K more, they now "estimate" that microsoft beat sony by just over 200....hmmm. times the amount that the 360 sold more by 4(approx weeks in month) then you have a thousand.

basically, vgchartz has no f^&*ing clue, and just grab some figures from anywhere....vgchartz should be banned until they are proven fact.

Silogon5814d ago

Wow, Ps3 has got desimated this week. What gives here? Gta4 is under preforming on the console and now just 1 week out from mgs4 and its sales are this lacking? This isn't good for anyone invested in Sony. A consumer or developer.

iAmPS35814d ago

Low hardware sales because people are waiting for the new bundle.

TheHater5814d ago

I think people are waiting for the new 80GB bundle.

Silogon5814d ago

I hope so, guys. I really do. I want the ps3 to be a big time player but so far it can't seem to get off the ground in america.

NO_PUDding5814d ago

It seems to have got off the ground just fine.

VGchartz aren't entirely accurate, and I woudl suspect both 360 and PS3 to be much higher (360 still in the lead easily) becuase I doubt the GTA4 slowdown has happened quite so fast. Even Wii has had a relatively quiet week.

I think that PS3 sales will be down before MGS4, for sure. And they will also be down before the new 80gb is released.

PoSTedUP5814d ago

the ps3 out sold the 360 in America alot this year.

Qbanboi5814d ago

The 80GB MotoStorm is no where to be seen. And the MGS4 (biggest game of the Year for the PS3) is coming next week, did you actually thought that the Ps3 was going to outsell the 360 this week? If it did so, next will was/is going to be epic ^^.

Bladestar5814d ago

@PoSTedUP - prove it... base on NPD numbers you are very wrong... the only site that was showing that the PS3 was beating the xbox 360 in terms of sells was VGChartz... but it seems as if they corrected their numbers after being proved wrong month after month... now the last few weeks... even VGChartz is showing the xbox 360 selling more consoles than the PS3... now what?

Bonsai12145814d ago

you know bladestar, there is more to the world than america. and sony really screwed it self by no making more 80gbs. they could have kept those coming and released a bundle. oh well.

Bzone245814d ago

You know Bonsai1214, he was commenting on a comment by pOstEDup so your "there is more to the world than America" comment doesn't apply.

I mean who buys a PS3 now when MGS4 bundle is just 7 days away

Plus 100$ gift card giveaway by Walmart/bestbuy commences during the week of MGS4 launch

dont be surprised to see LOW ps3 sales again for next week

AND FINALLY

on JUNE 12th ==APOCALYPSE /YAMUL QAYAMAT

I expect PS3 HW sales to bump by atleast 500% during the MGS4 launch week

wont be surprised if it goes over 1000% FOR THE week

9 DAYS to go for the MGS4 PS3 bundle

12th JUNE FTW

@naysayers

why disagree????

same thing will happen next week as we all know

However

everything will be crushed by ps3 from June 12th onwards

disagreeing cant PREVENT the PS3 backed APOCALYPSE commencing on June 12th

However i still believe that PS3 sales could have been much closer in REALITY ...after all these are VGCRAP numbers

PoSTedUP5814d ago

thats some what tru, watch the psp sales at the end of this week too. that bundle just came out and if i had the money i would get it also. its one of the hottest bundles ive seen.

Shaka2K65814d ago

The xbots need to spend more time on vgchartz.com forums trying to justify their xrod 180 inferior purchase.

breakbox cant fix me5813d ago

<-------------------------- ----------

Bathyj5814d ago

Wow, thats the best lead XB has had in quite a while, no doubt cos everyone is waiting for a MGS bundle. I mean why would you buy a PS3 instead of next week?

World wide figures might actually be close this week, but I dont think good enough for XB to break its roughly 8 month losing streak.

Light Yagami5814d ago

On June 12th, I can officially write Xbox 360 on my death note.

Qbanboi5814d ago

^^ Ok i just got that. Very Funny.

thats so crazy haha.

it will never disappear.

darksky11h ago

The more they try to stop it, the more publicity it gets. The fact is that Yuzu will forever live on torrent and other sites. Nintendo is fighting an uphill battle.

Inverno10h ago

Another 8,500 will take their place. Smh

PRIMORDUS9h ago

There is nothing stopping these people from working on Yuzu clones and sharing them on torrent sites. Nintendo or anyone else cannot do shit about torrents or usenet.

lucasnooker9h ago

lol Nintendo keep fighting this but it never ends. Why do they feel the need to persist? I guess they are in too deep now they have to

This game deserves a remaster for current consoles. It was awesome on PS3.
