@ browngamer

Word up. Glad to see the Ps3 and 3DS selling well and in the top two spots WW. The Vita is holding up as well despite it's $250 price tag compared with the competition.

360GamerFG4405d ago

You're deluding yourself. VITA is doing horribly. It keeps going down each week by great margins.

wumster4405d ago

3DS was selling a lot better during the same life span with the same price and N4G was drilling the 3DS.Some of you guys need to pull Sony's shaft out.

It doesn't mean it's not a great system because it is. it's just not selling well.

3DS, PS3, 360 are doing well. I'm shocked the the DS just dropped out completely. I expected it to fall, but not that much. PSP still doing ok, Wii is falling off as well. But I'm disappointed in the PSV. You guys really need to spread the word, and it needs to have more games launching soon (which it will). The PSV should be up there with the 360, PS3, and 3DS, so if you have one and enjoy it spread the word, or even let a friend borrow it. It's the greatest handheld ever hardware-wise and only needs the software to back it up.

They've done studies.... 60% of the time, they're right every time.

When in doubt, discredit the source!

MoFo11114406d ago (Edited 4405d ago )

Its been proven that their numbers arent correct when the big three release their quarterly reports.This is a fact
Where do you think vgcharts get their numbers from.Their estimates are unreliable.The only way to determine console sales is from the quarterly reports from Sony , Microsoft and Nintendo

MaxXAttaxX4405d ago

Dude, VG Chartz has always been nothing but estimates and many times off by at least 1m units(hardware) and 300k units(software), at least.

NovusTerminus4405d ago

Sad to see Ninja Gaiden 3 bomb out. Great game.

Starbucks_Fan4405d ago

Yeah it is great... at bombing

cstyle4405d ago

xbox360 is a beast when it comes to software sales. 4 out of the top 10 is not bad this far into the console's life.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis58m ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg19h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7219h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast21h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood20h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK18h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

gold_drake16h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.
