PES2010 sells nearly 4 times more on the PS3

PS3Hype writes: 'PES2010 is now 3 weeks old, and when we have a look at the sales, we see that the 360 version from the game is far behind the PS3 version. The PS3 PES2010 version sold more than one million copies, but the 360 version sold just 0,28 million copies.'

PES is home at the Playstation and now Konami made sure the PS3 had the best possible version!

GrieverSoul5302d ago (Edited 5302d ago )

Not only that but football is far more popular outside of the US.
And outside US the PS3 install base is much bigger than that of the X360. Multiplat sales that are so much debated in N4G only account for the US numbers. They estimate the others based on shipped copies and not actual sold ones. In Europe for instance, they dont do that because the market is so diverse in cultures and languages that its almost impossible to get real numbers of the ammount sold.

Im not bashing anyones preference! Im just saying its diferent markets. I bet PES is doing much better in terms of sold copies in the X360 on the US.

Example:
Most of the European online retailers selling Modern Warfare 2 have the most selling game chart, the PS3 version comes in first or second place followed by the X360 version. All the shopping malls I visit have the PS3 version in first place. Yet, we all read the X360 version selling 2:1 in N4G. Data that is collected from... thats right! U got it! US sales!!

ProEvo has always been a Playstation Game [Same as Tekken].

Soccer sure is boring to watch on tv....but fun to play!

bjornbear5302d ago

I'm european but I'm totally not into watching football, HOWEVER, playing it is a whole other story! =D

dinsurya5302d ago

football is fun to play in real life and on a console.
But if someone wants to torture me, all he needs is to make me watch a full football game :\

I_HATE_YOU23005302d ago

soccer is more popular outside the usa. the ps3 is more popular outside of the usa. put 2 and 2 together what do you get????? btw, soccer is a girls sport.

Sitdown5302d ago

How/Why does the ps3 have the better version? This is the first I have heard of this.

Shadow Flare5302d ago

Football isn't boring to watch but man utd are

bjornbear5302d ago

Oh "soccer" is a girls sport eh?

So in relation to Rugby, American Football is also a girls sport, considering you wear armor vs. Rugby players that don't.

Its because of you that citizens of the U.S.A. look bad. Shame on you.

presto7175302d ago

3 wins in a row, and about to make it 4.

"So in relation to Rugby, American Football is also a girls sport, considering you wear armor vs. Rugby players that don't. "

Have you seen an American football game? If you have, you would know the chances of getting hurt in American football is greater than rugby. In rugby you are not really given a chance to build up enough speed, as the players are typically bunched together...you do not have defenseless receivers running across the middle.......and speaking of equipment, you don't have helmets being launched at your face. Not wearing equipment typically makes some players more cautious...were equipment often times makes some players think they are invisible, so they launch themselves at will. So yeah...the argument doesn't really fly for anybody who actually watches both sports. Is boxing also girlie in comparison to rugby since you wear gloves? I would think common sense would say that if you have to wear equipment and take extra precautions for safety...that perhaps your sport might be rough...are you forgetting American football pretty much started out with no gear...but over the years has had to take the extra measures to protect athletes, because it has become just that violent.

With that said, soccer is far from a girlie sport...its actually quite dirty....just look at the college incident last week, and that was just stuff caught on camera.

IrishRepublicanArmy5302d ago

pes 2009 sold more in usa on ps3.

ico925302d ago (Edited 5302d ago )

i've got a feeling over half of those sales were here in the u.k most of my friends bought pes over cod mw2 thats saying alot

vhero5302d ago

And COD MW2 sold more on 360 what this prove? 360 owners still think of the 360 as an FPS console! This is proof! If you needed any this is it.

camelio5302d ago

"btw, soccer is a girls sport"

Are you one of those dumb North Americans that don't have a clue what the hell is going on outside the U.S. SOCCER, known as FOOTBALL everywhere else in the world (Big place) is the biggest sport in the world. More people watch the world cup alone than NFL, NBA, MLB and any other sport COMBINED. What a stupid ignorant comment. I apologise if you're a minor cause you probably wouldn't have known that

infekt5302d ago (Edited 5302d ago )

Im glad soccer beat out a title glorifying killing. Big props to Europe and Asia for that!

@camelio
Please don't generalize and put all North Americans together. Some of us northerners are devoted soccer fans.. ;)

Shepherd 2145302d ago

Rugby means your tough of dumb, American Football means your tough and smart. Only an idiot does that plays contact sports like that without proper protection.

American football players makes contact with each other MUCH harder than Rugby players do, because Football players have the armor.

DanWelsh865302d ago

American football is a joke, and if you're going to call football, yes football not "soccer" a girls sport then what is baseball? a bunch of girls playing rounders in a park? shut up you ignorant morons.

Bonsai12145301d ago

fyi, united has no chance of winning the title this year...

Hoggy19835301d ago

First of all, Fifa 2010 came out first. I think you need to look at sales for this game on the 360 before you make judgements on "where football belongs" console wise.

Secondly, I had a PS2 pretty much solely for PES and I bought every itineration. But, as time has gone on, the quality of the brand has deteriorated whilst EA have really got their act together. I know there are alot of PES die hard fans out there but, so was I, but I now firmly believe that Fifa 2010 is currently the superior football game.

ifhd5302d ago

because of the difference in install base out side the US.

iron_sheik5302d ago

also all multis sell more on ps3 outside america so no surprise there

monkey nuts5302d ago

I respect your opinion but I have to disagree . You clearly don't watch enough rugby if you think speed is not possible due to the players being bunched together. The essence of rugby is speed, unless your watching Italy ofcourse (jk). I can't count the number of times I've seen backs sprinting forward from around 10 metres behind the gain line to receive a well timed pass and carry the ball at speed only to be absolutely smashed by someone running at them from their defensive position. Its one of the great things about rugby, that and the ' hospital pass'.

mindedone5302d ago

But they're larger and faster than Rugby players. The Rugby players may not rest, but there is a collision on every down in football. If American football were played with no pads at the same intensity as it is now, there would be no American football. Just look at the evolution of its players since football's inception. They began looking like Rugby players, but evolved into hulks. What sort of sport is it that at 5'7'' and 190lbs I'm too small to play in most positions? The rules of football require the defense to stop any and all forward progress, and as such necessitate collisions. The fact that after forward progress is stopped the game stops and resets only promotes more collisions, instead of scrums. I mean, every down begins with a collision of 5-7 people from each side. On every play there are people purposely leaving their feet treat their bodies like missiles to stop forward progress. I might have only played rugby for three years in college, but I never saw people using their bodies as weapons as I did when I played football the seven years prior.

I'm probably going to get hit for this one, but rugby might also get a bad rap in the U.S. because in college it seems to be the place where a lot of high school students that couldn't make it on to a college football team end up.

xodee485302d ago

@mindedone

There's a big difference between the college rugby you played in America and the college rugby played here in AUS and NZ.

Also power running backs in the NFL like Brandon Jacobs wouldn't have a chance against our top defenders like Kiwis Jerry Collins and the Froggers Caveman.

MRMagoo1235302d ago

There are alot of Aussie and NZ NRL players that are just as big as NFL players so what ur saying is basic bs ive seen plenty of players knocked out from tackles in NRL watch the state of the origin matches if you wanna see big hits there alot worse than the full body armor wearing girls in NFL.

pixelsword5301d ago

One line of average-sized football players,

One line of average-sized Rugby players...

who would win?

Be honest.

vhero5301d ago

Rugby players no doubt if the football players didn't have their armour on they would be injured in 2 minutes they wouldn't be used to the violence of the sport. Size of a muscle is nothing if you think it is your an idiot. Watch worlds strongest man competition half those guys don't have huge muscles. Its not about the size mate its about how you use em. You smash into a rugby player its like a god damn brick wall mate. I used to play rugby as a kid (from UK) its a very rough sport and american football I'm not saying isn't violent but you don't have to be super tough to take the impacts as the armour takes most of it.

iistuii5302d ago

That's the only reason. Teams with wrong names, badges wrong, player names wrong, kits wrong. Without an option file to load on why put up with this crap. Thats the reason why the ps3 has the advantage. HOWEVER the game is crap compared to Fifa 10 anyway so not a problem. Konami please sort it out, the graphics have improved but what about the movement, look at the legs when running and doing tricks, looks like irish dancing.

Zedux5302d ago

sorry I have to disagree! for the first time this gen PES is a better game than Fifa! PES 2010 has fantastic physics just see the ball all over compared to the stuck to the ground easy passes Fifa 10!

sakura20095302d ago

im not going to say to microsoft fanboys only buy shooters because i know ill lose bubbles over that. but ps3 gamers loves games outside of shooters

Counter_ACT5302d ago

I think it's more that Europe is more PlayStation orientated and Europe is where all the football fans are.

PirateThom5302d ago

Yeah, FIFA also sold more on PS3 if I recall. Not really that big a deal.

Pro Evolution Soccer - Nevermind eh?

TPV Writer Tom Writes: "A carefully reasoned and informed discussion. With myself. And who knows? This analysis might give FIFA some much needed credibility (not that I over estimate my writing powers at all), because let’s be honest, Sep Blatter is so crooked, he sleeps on a spiral staircase. So corrupted, Microsoft Word can’t open him. You get the picture, but don’t worry Mr Blatter. Here to help."

10 great looking games the critics slammed

Sadly, the old adage that beauty is only skin deep can easily be applied to some of this generations' video game releases. Megabits of Gaming looks at 10 titles that have split opinion...

Philoctetes4975d ago

Yes, it looks great, but with 94% on Metacritic, I don't think it's quite accurate to say that it got "slammed" by critics. Even with the cutscenes, it's still one of the best games of this generation.

hay4975d ago

True. And only fanboys slammed the game.

Chubear4975d ago (Edited 4975d ago )

most of those games were critically acclaimed. They weren't "slammed" O.o

Also don't know how Haze is on that list. Haze was a very decent shooter and though it's graphics were good they weren't not at all "great". Haze graphics was essentially 7th or 8th gen games on the PS2 done in HD

If any game should be on that list it's Lair. Slammed for EVERYTHING and lunatic rabid fanatics (and some reviewers) called its graphics PS2 or PS1 "with water looking like sand"

Crazy. All I know is, there are many "AAA" multiplat titles today that still don't put Lair, a 1st gen game, to shame graphically talkless of technically cause most multiplat games with this much stuff happening on screen with these kind of graphics would chugg like madness.

http://www.gametrailers.com...

Please, show me these released multiplat games (or even exclusives on other gaming consoles) of recent time that has display this kind of chaos both on the ground and in the air.

morganfell4975d ago (Edited 4975d ago )

MGS4 still stands for me as the greatest game I have ever played. A culmination of 2 decades of masterful storytelling. As regards the play time, most reviewers put the actual non-cutscene game time beyond the length of the majority of current titles.

What is even more perplexing is the sophomoric comprehension of reviewers that failed to realize they were playing a game by Hideo Kojima. And a Metal Gear game at that. Many reviewers were simply ignorant of the series nor could they grasp Kojima's unique presentation technique imbued with his personality.

If you fail to realize the context of a title then you shouldn't be reviewing it. If you are unable to critique a work based upon the acceptance and expectations of the audience for whom it was made then you should shuffle along to another game.

Pokemon isn't a bad game...or a good game in my mind as I know nothing about it. I am ambivalent toward the series and as such know I should never offer my views on the title.

As regards the visuals, much of what was done in MGS4 has never been surpassed.

Man In Black4975d ago

The plot was kind of a let down. I hate how a lot of stuff was explained as being caused by nanomachines (Liquid Ocelot, Vamp, etc), and Acts 3-5, in terms of gameplay, were way too short.

Act 3 was pretty shit for the most part (follow some guy, bike chase, boss fight, and that's it), while the spider bots pissed me off in Act 4. The start of Act 5 was great, it reminded me of the older games, but it didn't last very long.

King-Leonidas4975d ago (Edited 4975d ago )

Agreed with every word you said. Mgs4 is such a master piece that fanboy´s tiny brains couldnt comprehend its greatness.

EDIT
did you notice that most of those games are developed by the Japanese?

DaTruth4975d ago

The first review I saw for MGS4 was surprisingly from Eurogamer(track record with PS3 exclusives). "BEST GAME EVER!!!", I think was how it started. Needless to say, 10/10.

MGS3 turned me off of MGS series(camo system pissed me off). So when I saw the Octo-camo, I was back in it and was the defining moment of next gen.

Prior next-gen games looked good, but MGS4 just had it all!

acky14974d ago (Edited 4974d ago )

I thought the nanomachines explanations were great... it kept things grounded more in real life as nano-technology might be possible to do some of the things from MGS in the future.

MGS4 has to be my favourite game ever after more than 10 years of playing and replaying the franchise. Was perfect for me in almost every way.

Man In Black4974d ago

Thing is, they used nanomachines for practically everything, to the point where it started to become ridiculous.

King-Leonidas4974d ago

but think about it man in black, it would make sense to implement nano machines in soldiers on the future. They are very advanced technologicaly.

ProjectVulcan4975d ago

Crysis is another that didnt get slammed. It got excellent reviews. True enough on release back in 2007, the fastest graphics in the world was an 8800 ultra. It cost 300 pounds. Crysis squashed it badly. But tech moves on quickly for PC, and 120 pounds three years on buys you a card thats twice as fast as an 8800 ultra, perfectly capable of coping with crysis.

Im pretty confident this time will be different with crysis 2, and although i expect it to challenge the fastest cards, i suspect it wont maul them nearly as bad as the original did with 2007 hardware.

GWAVE4975d ago

It didn't get slammed by critics (for the most part), but the vast majority of console gamers wrote it off as "that one PC game that has crappy gameplay and is all about teh grafix".

Naturally, they changed their tune once Crysis 2 was announced for consoles.

FragGen4975d ago (Edited 4975d ago )

I went out and bought Haze used when I first got my PS3 after playing the demo not being aware of any of the hype. It was a fun game, IMHO, if you didn't take it too seriously. Having only paid $10 for it, I was super happy with it. :)

I guess if I had been aware of the hype I might have been disappointed. But then again maybe not, because to me, "Halo Killer" does not set the bar that high, I think Halo is terribly overrated. :) I've probably logged as many hours on Haze as I have Halo 3 on my 360. LOL.

MW2 IS a great looking game.

Go play it.

Corrwin4975d ago

It was ok for a shooter, but it certainly wasn't a looker when released. The models were next-gen but the flat environments and low res textures certainly weren't!

Hades13374975d ago

Games like FFXIII, MW2, MGS4 etc. were not "slammed" by critics, look at their review scores.

I hate the perception of the video game review system. It seems like games scored below 90% are "average".
