Ps3 passed the 78 million mark.

PSjesus3932d ago

with a price cut it'll pass 100m more than 30 m PS2 sold after PS3 released

I_LOVE_MYSELF3932d ago

3DS by the looks of things. Not bad for a console that was labelled "dead" by a very vocal crowd online. Nice to see it pulling in fantastic numbers. Easily the best software for a handheld console at this point in time. Very deserving of these sales.

HammadTheBeast3932d ago

Yeah it's doing great. I'm also surprised that The Last of Us is still #1.

FriedGoat3931d ago

Good that Nintendo have the casual market for their 3DS, thats the way to make money.
Shame they moved on from the Wii/wii U :(

AdvanceWarsSgt3931d ago

^^^^I'm not so sure the 3DS is mostly made up of casual gamers. The system isn't as mainstream appealing as the DS was, and the majority of its lineup consists of core games.

For a comparison, the DS--->3DS transition is much like the GB--->GBA transition, in which the successors are less popular to the mainstream than their predecessors but remain popular to core gamers because of their libraries.

AdvanceWarsSgt3931d ago

Figures that instead of responding to my comment I just get a bunch of disagrees. Then again, considering this is N4Sony, don't know why I expected even that much.

JasonXS123932d ago

I'm really glad that the Vita sales are picking up these past few months. Hopefully with the introduction of next gen, PS4, sales for Vita will go even higher.

DarkHeroZX3932d ago (Edited 3932d ago )

Yeah I think with the ps3 and the vita being the same price it makes the Vita look less attractive. But with a new more expensive console people will really begin to see the value of the PS Vita at it's current price. Sony also needs to launch faster and much bigger memory cards and slash the price of the current ones.

Cam9773932d ago

The Vita's doing well! I wonder if the boost has come from PS4 integration or not? Things aren't looking good for the Wii U, it has half the sales of the Vita! I wonder if things will turn around for Nintendo.

mafiahajeri3932d ago

What are you talkin about? It's +13 from the previous week! It's doing well... XD

Hicken3932d ago

A mix of that and Toukiden, most likely. There were some more games announced for Vita this week, but I doubt they had an impact, as they're not for next year, I believe.

360ICE3932d ago

Toukiden released in Japan. Take a look at the Japanese numbers alone. It's a huge factor.

ThatCanadianGuy5143932d ago (Edited 3932d ago )

These are all guesses based on nothing, by the way.

Hard to say if Vita is doing well or Wii u losing sales based on vgchartz.

GribbleGrunger3932d ago

I think it's too early for the PS4 integration to have any 'significant' effect on Vita sales. I believe we'll see the effects closer to the actual release of the PS4 because Sony will advertise the advantages of having both systems.

PSjesus3932d ago

to be honest it's doing good for a system with low to non ads and few games compared to gigantic 3ds library
think Sony is busy with PS4

PopRocks3593931d ago

Wait, Vita does a little under 60k and it's doing great...

Wii U does over and around 50k for some of the earlier months and it was doing horribly?

Am I the only one confused here? How are either of those figures supposed to be good, let alone the Vita's?

G20WLY3931d ago

^Yes Poprocks, you're the only one confused...

I hope Vita can retain some of this spike. Be nice to get a firm release date for Toukiden in the West.

PopRocks3593931d ago (Edited 3931d ago )

Gee, thanks for the explanation. Are you normally this mature and informative?

I suppose the next time the Wii U sells 50k come this holiday season everyone will be cheering for how well it's doing. /s

Seriously, this is hardly something to celebrate over. The Vita's doing less badly. And? It should be doing better. A LOT better. In fact these were numbers the Wii U was pulling around January and a little after.

cee7733931d ago

@poprocks

Don't think of what its(wii U) done think of what its done lately lol

and to even bring up 50k for A holiday season is pathetic makes me believe you lost faith in the wii U altogether holiday season is when your supposed to move the most consoles and if you believe the Wii U is only capable of 50k thats terrible

WoW

G20WLY3931d ago

^Pop, ooh sarcasm, well done sir. ;P

Vita sold 60k in a week and (as you said in your post above) WiiU sold 50k "some months".

I didn't think I'd need to offer an explanation.

Any reasonable person would agree that Toukiden (a new, barely touted IP) boosting sales of the Vita to this degree is a welcome surprise.

PopRocks3593928d ago (Edited 3928d ago )

@cee773

The 50k sales were after the holiday rush. January is not part of that. Try again.

@G20WLY

"Any reasonable person would agree that Toukiden (a new, barely touted IP) boosting sales of the Vita to this degree is a welcome surprise."

Yeah. In Japan. If the price was slashed in other regions and the game was released here, the Vita would be doing even better. But no, apparently it's better to sugarcoat everything and pretend that these numbers are actually impressive. Yet there are the PS3 and 3DS pulling in hundreds of thousands of units sold.

Fanboys are the worst, I swear.

G20WLY3928d ago

^Pop, calm your self lol

I agree, it's price should be cut in the West. When did I ever say these sales were 'impressive'? Answer: never.

It's an indisputable improvement. End of.

Fanboys ARE the worst, aren't they..? They read words that aren't there, just so they can pick a fight... smdh

+78% great! Gamescom should give it a boost too.

xxPillsxx3932d ago

If Gamescom does well it'll go +9001% lol
I really really really hope Gamescom will annouce some really good stuff!

stage883932d ago

Nice to see PS3 extending its lead.

mcstorm3932d ago

Good to see the PSV and WiiU numbers picking up. 3DS still selling well and good to see the 360 and PS3 still selling well late into there gens.

Lets hope they all keep on the rise on there way to the holiday season.

Lvl_up_gamer3932d ago

Just wait till MS finally cuts the 360 price....

360 sales will sky rocket

neoMAXMLC3932d ago

Sony will simply follow and then stay in the lead.

mcstorm3932d ago

It will be interesting to see what the sales are like for the 360 with Kinect if they drop it to £150 or below.

Lvl_up_gamer3931d ago

@ neoMAXMLC

LMFAO

Sony has already stripped the PS3 down to it's bare bones and are just barely squeezing a profit out of it. Sony CAN'T lower the price.

It's MS that has been sitting on their current 360 price for the longest time. MS could drop the 360 4gb down to $99. No way Sony can do that with the PS3.

Please stop acting like you know anything business related. Your comment clearly shows your ignorance on the subject.

cee7733931d ago

@lvl

ps3 cell and rsx will shrink to 22nm and 28nm early next year so A price is possible.

neoMAXMLC3928d ago (Edited 3928d ago )

The same EXACT thing can be said about you. If it was so easy for MS to drop the price then why havent they done so just yet? Why havent they done so even after a new redesign?

And easy on the PMS fueled reply this time please.

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_Brazil22h ago

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

isarai16h 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

CrimsonWing692h 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.

solideagle1h 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_Mal1h ago

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

boing121m ago(Edited 21m 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.

dadavis199213h 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.

Michiel19892h ago

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

kevco332h ago

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

Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
