Lifetime-to-date and year-to-date hardware figures for the PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, and DS based on the most recent NPD sales data have been revealed.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
All systems still chugging along pretty good. DS is still a beast.
Wow 360 beating the Wii, how things have changed.
And why no PSP numbers? Im sure the gap between the PSP and DS would be ridiculous.
@Cevapi88
The Wii has been dominating since forever the fact that the 360 is beating it now even though its the older console is a big deal, because its the beginning of the 360 closing the gap on the Wii.
Didn't NPD say the were gonna stop reporting numbers?
DS looks pretty strong. I'm planning on getting a 3DS when it comes to the west and sell my DSiXL. Good job PS3 for taking over the 360's spot, hehe.
[EDIT] Talking about year to date btw.
Where Has PS3 Taken Over 360, Xbox 360 Is Ahead By A Big Margin On Those Figures
