Nice to see Uprising crack the top ten..it deserves it!

yabhero4405d ago

@ people disagreeing
I know you don't like LX but what he's saying is true for once. Kid Icarus Deserves to be top ten.

Gaming1014405d ago

If anyone really cared about which game/system is selling the most, why not post global numbers? It's right there on the site.... oh wait, the 360's numbers are only hot in North America, sorry lol

MaxXAttaxX4405d ago (Edited 4405d ago )

Sigh.... sales.

On another note. How old is that VGChartz pic up there?
And photo editing software was used to alter it so that the 3DS and Vita coexist in Wii/360/PS3 numbers from 2008?
Is it cause the PS3 to 360 ration doesn't looks like it does now?

LOL fanboys

Spydiggity4405d ago (Edited 4405d ago )

it clearly says USA sales in the title. and isn't pretending there's some microsoft conspiracy just a little bit last decade? it's time to grow up now. you're on a video game website crying about something that's 100% justified.

EDIT: Those are some unimpressive ME3 numbers.

Gaming1014405d ago

To all the stupid people who commented on this thread ^
No duh it says US, my point was for people who actually care about sales figures, US sales analysis is pointless if only analyzed in a bubble, which in this case it is. If you studied economics (which you didn't) then you'd understand my point, but nonetheless you're just a lowly pile of trolls.

Who said anything about being not justified anyway, can you please come up with a coherent thought that actually makes sense please, thank you.

Game is awesome, and I'm left handed! :P

Need to play more of it.

Nice to see raccon city in the top of chartz! Anyway,In a couple of weeks it will hit 1 million sold, and hopefully it will reach 2+ million lifetime..

TitanUp4406d ago

its a stinky game maybe resident evil 6 will be a lot better. hoping it will be anyways

Godmars2904406d ago

Except by all counts its a game not worth the sales its getting. That its broken.

What I find interesting is that ME3 only did 90K on the 360 while the PS3 numbers didn't even make the top ten.

That's the damage Bioware is trying to fix with the bad ending mess.

Captain Qwark 94405d ago

well to be fair its been out for about 4 weeks now and has already sold millions so 90k isnt bad at all esp considering all the negative press. most of the die hard fans prob bought it day 1 so to be putting up numbers like that is still impressive. and it also started on xbox and does the majority of its sales there so the ps3 dropping out of the top 10 isnt really surprising.

plus i like the ending

Krakn3Dfx4406d ago

Yeah, it's great to see a shit game oversell, just lets Capcom know they can continue making shit games and expect a return on them.

I know I'M excited about more shitty games from Capcom.

Varodor4405d ago

sorry, forgot to ask you[carried my copy of game back to the store]

spirited4406d ago

Go America buy the crap . Make ORC 2 possible. /s

Get the f**k out of charts ...COD

Captain Qwark 94405d ago

i havent played it yet but i dont see why your so upset its selling. if it does well enough perhaps they will get a second try and will listen to feedback and learn from their mistakes. then we will get a much better game hopefully.

and if not, dont buy it, no need to get your panties in a bunch over it.

Game4life4406d ago

Big drop for Talke of grace f. Hopefully it will have some legs

Blastoise4405d ago

It still has to hit europe (Which i think will this summer?) I think it will do quite well, JRPGs always seem to do better in Europe than the US

Game4life4404d ago

Well its good pretty well. It had a bigger first and second week than vesperia did. Almost three times the opening. Not sure how it will do in europe to be honest as some of the tales games dont seem to do well just from what Ive noticed. Example: tales of abyss on the 3ds. It looks like it did terrible in europe. But that just my perspective though.

Never know though since vgchartz is not always accurate

MasterCornholio4406d ago

It's depressing to see a terrible game in first place. But I'm pretty sure sales for it will die down quickly.

All Campfire Locations in Fortnite: Chapter 5 Season 2 Guide

ESTNN writes: "The easiest campfire can be found in the middle of the lake close to Restored Reels. Landing in the middle of the island immediately puts you near the campfire, which is surrounded by a tent, a barrel and a single lawn chair."

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."

shinoff218316h ago(Edited 16h 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

purple1015h 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.

rlow114h ago

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

blackblades6h 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.

rlow11h ago(Edited 1h ago)

First, you don’t know who has or hasn’t played it. So that’s your assumption. Secondly, even if people haven’t played it in awhile, it’s still nostalgia. Those memories of sharing your creation and having fun playing other peoples creations. Third, no game out there is really like this or as iconic. Today if they made this they would nickel and dime the whole way through and it would launch broken.

Cacabunga1h ago

Reason why i really dislike online games.. they become unplayable over time.. LBP story mode is actually only a tutorial

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

Inverno8h 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_looken5h 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-rUn7h 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-4h 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)

anast1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Astro's is similar.

Not enough people cared to play it, so they cut it.

Sony has never been a kid friendly console. This should be obvious. People go to Nintendo for this stuff.

StoneTitan1h ago

Its on media molecule though. They did not want to continue LBP. Sony accepted that.
Sumo continued it. With a solala lbp3 and a great sackboy though.
Its not sonys fault. They dont want to force a studio to create a new LBP game.
But I would love a revival.

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-4h 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.
