Without that holiday marketing budget, the Xbox 360 really underwhelms.

Skips4024d ago (Edited 4024d ago )

I see PS3 is catching up to 3DS. Just waiting for the day the PS3 drops to $199.99! Seriously though, 3DS and the PS3 are just OWNING!

God Of War selling more in 3 weeks than Tomb Raider on PS3 in 4 weeks.

I also do recall Xbox fans saying "Gears J will be SOOOO MASSIVE!!!! It'll outsell EVERY PS3 EXCLUSIVE in 2013 combined!!!!" lol But it barely beat out GOW.

Hack s slash game going head to head with a shooter? IN THIS GENERATION??? That's rare. Literally something only God Of War can do. lol

WrAiTh Sp3cTr34024d ago

So the lames are comparing a slasher to a shooter still? And you continue to do so as if it's convenient towards some type of win for your fanboyism? Whats funny is Gears still outsold it. Now that should be what you're "lol" is about...lol.

Skips4024d ago (Edited 4024d ago )

@WrAith

I said I RECALL. I never started it. -______-

"Whats funny is Gears still outsold it."

What's funny is that Judgement is literally THE ONLY EXCLUSIVE GAME the 360 is getting this year. You would you expect Gears sales to go THROUGH THE ROOF considering it's ONLY ONE exclusive game to buy. XD

But alas, the game bombed with the fans and people think it's ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. lol

Just FYI, not trolling kiddo, just check what buyers are saying about it....

http://www.amazon.com/Gears...

http://www.gamestop.com/xbo...

My point being is, judging from how MAJORLY disappointing the game turned out to be. I honestly don't see LIFETIME sales for Gears J to be so hot...lol.

HammadTheBeast4024d ago

Also, Gears of War Judgement released a couple weeks after Ascension, and is the only major 360 exclusive to have come and will have come for a long time.

B-radical4024d ago

Do you honestly have to troll every xbox article.

G20WLY4024d ago

I don't know if there's a personal history at play here, but I don't see his comment as trolling.

As an observation it's spot on - 360 has shown little consistency in it's sales, it trickles out of the stores all year and then sells like hot cakes when the masses of advertisements are aired. It's an amazing phenomenon and nobody can knock MS marketing for that.

I'm just stunned that people watch an ad on TV and decide to get one after all this time - you'd think they'd have made their mind up either way long ago, but it seems some people are highly programmable lol

Also, this isn't an Xbox article...

MysticStrummer4023d ago

This isn't an XBox article...

freezola754024d ago (Edited 4024d ago )

I remember these VG chartz about 6 years ago looked gravely different for the PS3 than it does these days..

funny tho... I am reminded of the phrase, "It's not about how well you start out, but how well you finish"

everything seems to be reversed now..

Peace

TheRealHeisenberg4024d ago

PS3 is the WINZ!!!!! You happy now?

iGAM3R-VIII4024d ago

That is good to see the PS3 doing well, the same with the Vita. I would of never of guess that there would be more PS3 gamers with BO2 than Xbox gamers with BO2

SPAM-FRITTER-1234024d ago (Edited 4024d ago )

Ooooooooohhhh so VGcharts are accountable now that Sony are getting high numbers?

MS winning = "VGcharts are a bunch of Microsoft paid fanboys"

Sony winning = "VGcharts the number 1 truth in gaming numbers.

Stay classy N4G

@iGAM3R-VIII "I didn't even mention about the 720"

Did I?

iGAM3R-VIII4024d ago

lol I never disagreed with the charts, I didn't even mention about the 720 in my comment.

sikbeta4024d ago

Dude, 1 comment = 1 person =/= whole site... I get your point though, whenever preferred console does good numbers on chartz site, everything is legit, if not: LIES!!!

(-_-)

HammadTheBeast4024d ago

Relax, VGChartz has always undersold PS3 numbers by about a million.

GribbleGrunger4024d ago (Edited 4024d ago )

You know, I keep seeing this quite childish accusation thrown about regularly on this site: The same people who condemn VGChartz when their console isn't doing well, will then praise it when it does do well ... I don't see much of that myself to be honest. What you people are doing is considering the millions of fans of a console to be one entity, when in fact what's happening is that different people comment when different situations pop up. There may be exceptions but very few.

MysticStrummer4023d ago

You're seriously saying that PS fans are the only ones to do that? Both sides do it. In fact, all three sides do it when their favorite company is well represented in the charts.

PS3 is staring at Wii butt " I'm gon get you!!"

Godmars2904024d ago

So wait - and this is according to Vgchartz - the Xbox has been in third place globally since at least 2010?

What?

aceitman4024d ago (Edited 4024d ago )

ms had a 5 million 1 year head start and sony caught them ,good for sony , price cut at e3 boom baby boom on fire .

dungeonboss4024d ago

Crazy that the Wii U pulled better numbers than the Vita so far this year. Vita is actually starting to get games and Wii U had zero games released during January and February. I mean, I'm happy for Wii U, but really, shouldn't the Vita have sold more?

PopRocks3594024d ago

The Wii U had a few recent releases. Some attest its recent boost to Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest. Frankly I think it's good to see both the Wii U and Vita outpacing their predecessors.

GamersRulz4024d ago

hahaha, better by 3,274 units?! I would say they sold almost the same since VGchartz is estimations but if you want a real difference compare WiiU to PS3. Ps3 leads by 1,446,378 units, now that some real difference here!

dungeonboss4024d ago

It's only a shame that no one buying a PS3 this year or last will be buying a PS4 at launch.

T24024d ago

@ dungeonb - I had to replace my ps3 for the first time since launch last year and im gettin ps4 day 1 ... Theres always an underfunded kid somewhere who will love a ps3

avengers19784024d ago

@ dungeon boss I had to replace my ps3 this year, and will be waiting in line to buy ps4 and kill zone shadow fall day one.

Aceman184024d ago

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

Odd this and the xillia games still haven't gotten remasters yet.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil1d 3h ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai21h ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing698h ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle7h ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal6h ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

Abnor_Mal3h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing15h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II - PC Wore it Better

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.

dadavis199219h ago

Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.

Michiel19897h ago

there is a client made by modders and it also works online.

kevco337h ago

Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.

Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
