-Tales of Graces f sold 127k but is not listed in global chart.

-Tales of Graces for a single platform outsold another namco game released the same day, the big licence MULTI-PLATFORM Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja STORM Generations.
60k(PS3)+44k(360)=104k

-what is more impressive is that ToG released the same week as very very hyped RPG(ish) game ME3.

-with the release of ToG in Europe in the summer, the game will be on track to double the lifetime sales in Japan (370k)

it was like Namco was trying to make ToG fail, but the fans committed, now its your turn Namco, announce Xillia.

If you look on the actual site you'll see the PC version selling barely anything, the 360 outsold the PS3 version 3 to 1 which isn't surprising seeing as how Bioware botched the PS3 version with crap framerate and other glitches, oh well.
Once again the PS3 dominates worldwide on the console front, and it isn't surprising the 3DS is dominating on the handheld front given its push of recent software.

insomnium24409d ago

I assume the possibility of PS3 passing X360 in lifetime sales soon has an impact on your mindset.

Its great to see that the Nintendo 3DS entertainment console continues to top the charts. All of the hard work from the great hard working people over at Nintendo are tasting the fruits of their labor. Nintendo and Nintendo gamers worldwide should be proud of this ongoing accomplishment. Watching the Nintendo 3DS shape the future on a weekly basis.

With new AAA exclusive releases such as Kid Icarus Uprising, and many others. Lets keep it in our prayers that Nintendo continues to lead the industry forward as it has been doing this entire generation. Solidifying its spot as the most successful handheld of today. Setting the golden standard of what and how we play handheld games today, and how we will play in the future.

The better Nintendos numbers perform on the charts, the better us Nintendo supporters are rewarded. Rewarded with even more 1st and 3rd party AAA exclusives. Which is always a great thing. Things are looking mighty positive for Nintendo as a whole heading into E3 2012.

The others did a decent job as well.

Rated E For Everyone

Are you on Nintendo Marketing & PR payroll?

VITA for shame. SONY have missed their US target to sell 500k during the first 3 weeks of release if VGChartz is to be believed that is.

Moncole4410d ago

It's good to see the 3DS selling so well.

kikizoo4409d ago

Why ? are you shareholder ?

it's good to see the best hardware selling the best, vita is doing good, without price cut ! ("dead" ? are you blinds fanboyz ?) and ps3 is dominating the home console market (even with microsoft giving xbox with computers, tv, etc etc in europe), and it's just pure logic.

8 Years Later, It's About Time Sony Revives The Rest Of Ratchet And Clank

Hanzala from eXputer: "On this joyous 8th anniversary of the Ratchet and Clank reboot, it's about time Sony considers reviving the originals to complete the saga."

shinoff218314h ago(Edited 14h ago)

It's not the ideal situation but Sony does offer them on ps plus. I to would just like a big ass compilation on doscto though

purple1013h ago

Insomniac roadmap leaked a while ago and they are making another, they’re doing the best they can and these games, especially the last two, are master pieces

LittleBigPlanet 3 Servers Are Officially Shut Down 'Indefinitely,' Sony Confirms

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.

rlow112h ago

Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.

blackblades4h ago

Sad day oh wait everyone that whining about it didn't play it or haven't played it in years and never was going back to it. Funny how people start to care when this happens but when it was actually up those same people didn't even pay attention to it.

What needs to be highlighted by this is that the series has had 4 main games then that go kart spin off yet sony let them all die.

There is 0 games like this on ps5 and to my knowledge 0 first party main kids games no tech demo crap

Sony purchased Media Molecule studio the ip then tossed it away letting it rot for over 7 years yet the community carried on until now were we have lost 16 years on all games of content along with no replacement.

Everyone goes on about ea killing studios but sony has killed way way more but its fine its sony they can do no wrong.

Before the sony blidboys track me down again go fire up your holy boxes all the dlc they tossed out all the trophies and all the user content needs a server side handshake that no longer works. Yes offline single player version 1.0 works but that is it.

Media Molecule was not cut i know but they only made LBP and dreams it was reported they just missed the chopping block
https://gamerant.com/little...

Do not forget the dreams game was tossed out 2020 but 3 years later support was pulled
https://www.digitaltrends.c...

All in all this is another failure at sony on a long long list in the past 10 years

Inverno6h ago

It's kind of hard to disagree when SONY has a history of abandoning many of their IPs. They killed Mod Nation and turnt it into LBP Karting because of brand recognition but left it to die too. They made their own Smash Bros only to rush the studio, and turn the game into an advert for recent release at the time and still let it die. They shut down PS Home for more or less the same reason, they left it to rott till it became too broken and exploited to bother fixing.

just_looken3h ago

This right here

Playstation home is what facebook is trying to make now but in vr that metaverse deal

Imagine if sony kept up ps home development

The death of playstation forums was also a huge loss

u-bEttA-rUn5h ago

Their games were unable to attract the masses every game that came out the attachment grew smaller and smaller they advertise LBP for years the industry changed and then came fortnight... You want Sony to continue to support them which cost them money that they're not getting back from the studio.

DOMination-2h ago

Honestly, I think a well-designed LBP-style game would do better than ever in the current state of the industry.

People have short attention spans. Having something that is pick up, play a few levels and put down again is the experience the "masses" are after.

Keep it as a 2D platformer only with well-designed base levels, make it easy to build new levels and more importantly easy to access new content - personally I always found the way Forze Horizon 4&5 provide daily, weekly and monthly challenges via new content that they've built or handpicked from the community is a system that works great - and then stick it on mobile and PC with Steam Deck support.

Make it F2P with a one-off fee for the level editor (to stop people spamming crap onto the store) and have MTX for more characters, outfits etc. and there you have a live service game that Sony should be all over.

Do the same with a new Karting game and a 2D fighting/Smash Bros style engine and you have three bangers right there.

(I appreciate the N4G community will hate the idea of LBP being a live service game with MTX and I get that but I think if there's one game this model could work well for, it's this.. just imo)

Tacoboto6h ago

I feel bad for Media Molecule. For the ideas they have it seems they need a publisher that supports games like this and Dreams especially for as many players as possible.

DOMination-2h ago

Sony in the Andrew House era did support them massively though. They let them do their thing with LBP and spent millions marketing it. I remember one E3 they even used LBP to cover the boring parts of the presentation where they talk about sales figures etc.

And then they allowed MM to announce their game on the PS4 console announcement/showcase event and waited the entire generation for them to release it.

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.

VersusDMC13h 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.

Friendlygamer14h 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

monkey60213h ago(Edited 13h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya12h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde12h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP3h ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.
