Sony's Products Performance Sales

Yes it is true, from sonys offical numbers the ps3 is at 10.5 million ps3. The link shows the numbers as well as ps2 and psp with many other sony products.

fresco5949d ago

i'd think most people are concerned with how many consoles were bought by consumers not sold to retailers.

"*Beginning from Q1FY07, the method of reporting hardware and software unit sales has been changed from production shipments to recorded sales."

shine13965949d ago (Edited 5949d ago )

They lowered expectations from 11 million to 9.5 million.

Edit: had a closer look at the numbers. its a collective of 5 quarters. Two are production shipments, 3 are recorded sales. not really a good way to collect data.

gamesR4fun5949d ago

so they shipped 4.9 million around xmas? Not bad really wish we had q4 data....

antoinetm5949d ago

maybe its 10.5 life time.

and 9.5 for 2007 (fiscal year ending in march)

crck5949d ago (Edited 5949d ago )

its 10.5 mil lifetime sales. They expect to ship 9.5 mil units in the fiscal year which began April 1st 2k7 and ends on March 31th 2k8.

Fat Bastard5948d ago

I just went to vgchartz.com and it still has the PS3 at only 9.75 million. If I'm correct, thats nearly a million off, which is 10%. This is Sony's website, so I'd say the numbers are pretty reliable. So much for vgchartz being reliable...

calis5948d ago

There is pretty much no way in the world VGChartz or any other site can accurately predict the sales of consoles/software.

Chuck prepares for the upcoming flamewar to start.

edit: if this is true than M$ better watch out

Lord Anubis5949d ago

they better watch out, they better watch out Santa Claus is coming to town...oops wrong thread.

Iamback5949d ago

I would like to know, how much they sold in each teritory

The Wood5949d ago

non stop fud pounding since e3 last year. Still a few things to iron out but dismiss the ps brand at your own peril

Bathyj5949d ago

I dont mean to correct you but Sony has been copping FUD and bad media for about 3 years, not just since E3.

I can remember all the fanboys saying it wouldn't even survive its own launch, and tossers like Gabe Newel saying they should just start again and drop their hardware like M$ does.

BAH. Armchair experts. Hows that humble pie taste now?

The Wood5948d ago

sony has been crushing the fud since e3

Why Is No One Making AAA Horror Games Anymore?

Saif from eXputer inquires, "Despite the everlasting popularity of the genre, why hasn't there been a good AAA horror game in a while now?"

Jin_Sakai22h ago

Because the gaming industry is obsessed with live service games.

Rynxie8h ago

Because he touches himself at night to characters like lady Dimitrescu.

Crows905h ago

You're the one still thinking about her

Rynxie5h ago

@crow

Did I give away your secret? It's okay, if you sit on your hand and numb it, you can pretend it's her playing with your little stick.

MaximusPrime_21h ago

Good for me, I have no interests in horror games

-Foxtrot12h ago

Even when they do it's first person trying to copy Outlast, Five Nights, P.T etc

I think the Dead Space / RE2 / RE4 Remake and the Evil Within 2 showed you can have a good story based, third person survival horror game.

thesoftware7308h ago

Calisto Protocol was also fun with fantastic presentation.

FinalFantasyFanatic1h ago

I feel like we haven't had much in the way of horror games for years, I think it became rare after the PS2/PS3 gen. Maybe i'll pick up that Crow Country that recently came out, that looks good.

Redemption-6410h ago

Because outside of a fee games, most don't sell that well

Crows905h ago

So in other words...AAA publishers don't have creativity or passion for games.

CrimsonWing6910h ago

Didn’t we have Dead Space Remake and Resident Evil 4 Remake last year?

thorstein10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Among others

And isn't Dying Light 2 a horror game?

Scissorman10h ago

And Alan Wake 2 and Alone in the Dark.

richardmmorales1h ago

We also had The Quarry and The Dark Pictures The Devil In Me.

N64: Recompiled — Creating Native PC Ports Is A Godsend For Game Preservation

"In a time when companies don't care about preserving games, I have high respect for the creators of projects like N64: Recompiled." - Hanzala from eXputer.

gold_drake2d ago

it is, i might be finally able to play Snowboard kids 1 full screen ha.

purple1011d 15h ago

il beat you to the ski-lift,

framerate on snowboard kids was shocking, do you remember./?

talking of shocking framerate and kart racers style games,
Sony had a gem on ps3, with 'Modnation Racers' but again, framerate was so terrible, still fun though, indeed, when is drifting sideways not fun, the answer is never. we have not seen enough of that game, technically some people made race tracks/games in dreams and little big planet etc, but its just not the same,!!! grrrrr

morning rant over.

here, relive some ,memories. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

itBourne1d 12h ago

The load time on ModNation where also excruciatingly long... But man oh man I wish that game took off more, so much fun! Could turn off garbage rubber banding, I had karts with 100's of stickers to design some crazy cool stuff, custom tracks. Fantastic undeappreciated game

gold_drake1d 8h ago

SK1 had a fairly good framerate. sk2 maybe not so much ha

Redgrave1d 8h ago

Some food for thought:

Would you donate your physical copy of a really rare/expensive cartridge (Conkers's BFD, Bomberman 64 Second Attack, Ogre Battle 64, the two Castlevania titles, etc) to those managing this project for the greater good of getting them preserved online for all to experience at some point?

UltimateOwnage1d 8h ago

As long as it meant they never took money from Patreon and invited a DMCA takedown / lawsuit by Nintendo to take it all away. After seeing the whole debacle with Yuzu I now question how long any of these teams can maintain game preservation efforts through emulator development, or otherwise.

franwex1d 5h ago

I mean. They may borrow them…

Profchaos1d 2h ago

Is it realistically needed though I would not personally give anyone my old carts for games that are already persevered and easily available online

Inverno1d 8h ago

The snippet of ray tracing at the end of the og trailer was low-key amazing. I found out thanks to Nerrel who also made a texture pack for MM, and i can't wait to see how much more great this game will be in the near future. With model swaps, ray tracing, retextures, and a more quicker process than decompilation, it's gonna bring new life to N64 games.

Profchaos1d 2h ago

There might need to be a bit of clarification recompilation is not the same as decompilation.

This is basically a container to excite the rom within but allows for all sorts of beat additions and tricks like new lighting effects such as ray tracing to be added.

But decompilation would ultimately be king as it allows for a widespread porting capabilities and uses the assets from games to build a native install for PC or whatever the target system is e.g Mario 64 for PC or sonic mania for psvita / wii
