last report i saw it sold less than the 360...oh well normal service resumed (well nearly) wii's in 2nd place which is unusual for nintendo

Cyrus3655524d ago

No where, the earlier reports were wrong/mistranslated.

deeznuts5524d ago

How do you mis translate numbers? Lol, somebody was drunk!

Sarcasm5524d ago

Numbers don't lie, but the person posting them can always change them

barom5524d ago

lol Yakuza 3 beat Mario & Luigi RPG life time sales. That's pretty cool, especially considering the NDS userbase in Japan.

rockleex5524d ago

The tide is slowly turning. There will be a calm before the storm.

Then the tsunami will come. It is called the PlayStation 3. >:D

Cyrus3655524d ago

Not last place, just 10th, i could post you the top 30 if you wanted.

Gambit075524d ago (Edited 5524d ago )

Kotaku has it at 372k for Yakuza 3.

Actually, this list looks very different:

Cyrus3655524d ago

That's cause your quoting Media Create source, while this is Famitsu source.

There are 2-3 different reporting agencies in japan.

cayal5524d ago

Sony really cleaned out with 75,000 sold between PSP and PS3 and over 600,000 games sold between the top two.

SiLeNt KNighT5524d ago

i find it funny how star ocean is called 'The Last Hope'...it kinda is the 360's in japan. sadly for MS next week it will be out of the list. one of the best selling jrpg's for the 360 and total its sold less than half Y3 sold in one week. wheres that article saying how well the 360 is doing in japan. what a joke

Bathyj5524d ago

C'mon, I made that joke months ago, and a few times since.

You're right but, it is funny.

SiLeNt KNighT5524d ago

my bad i didnt see it. great minds think alike.

and great games sell accordingly. apparently SO4 is NOT one of them

ChickeyCantor5524d ago

" my bad i didnt see it. great minds think alike."

So do stupid minds...you aren't really being realistic here =P!

...i'm kidding ...put the rage away >=D

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC59m ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer2h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

ZeekQuattro6h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B4h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21834h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh4h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia4h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins4h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal3h ago

The first game was the best imo.

How long until they get sued and it gets taken down? I say a month or 2

PRIMORDUS1d ago

Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣

NotoriousWhiz21h ago

As long as it isn't emulating the Switch, it'll be fine.

RonnySins22h ago

Naaah! Don't want to waste time emulating on iPhone.

Knightofelemia20h ago

Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
