I think it's kinda weird how VGchartz have been having certain systems ahead by a large amounts for the months lately, their sales have really been off by alot as well. Like March for example, VGChartz had the 360 ahead by 120k, but when the NPD report dropped, it was only ahead of the PS3 by 34k. They also had the PS Vita at 150k for the month of March in the US, but when the NPD report dropped, it actually sold 200-225k.

Edit: Disagrees even with a source. XD

Gamer30004393d ago

you will get disagrees even if you are
kaz or bill gates
fanboys are always the worst
and some how they think that agrees and the disagrees are like facts or something

Dark3604393d ago

VGChartz is NOT a reliable source.

LOL!!!

metsgaming4393d ago

even though i know its fake its sad that the kinect star wars game really is probably selling good which is disturbing. Make a terrible game that cost little and get great sales, why would they make a good game that costs alot and would still sell good when they could make the terrible game and make much more profit? Thats what they will be thinking, forget what the fans want make the bad games we make more on them.

PeZuS4393d ago

That's why it's under rumors...those are estimates, not a "source"

This chart is packed full of winning material.

Congratulations to Nintendo and the Nintendo 3DS entertainment system for selling enough units to be honored as the number 1 handheld in the USA. With the Nintendo Wii trugging along at the end of its lifespan still providing the Elite Nintendo gamers with AAA quality exclusives till the end. With Nintendo Wii entertainment system exclusive Xenoblade Chronicles selling a respectable amount. Landing just under starwars for the number 2 position in the top 10. Amazing results for a Japanese rpg in America.

Also with no doubt congratulations to Microsoft and the Xbox 360 for Dominating the charts once again, hardware and software. The 360 Kinect is beginning to flex its muscles and put up great results as expected. Also noted that 6 of the top 10 games on the chart belong to the xbox 360 console. Beautiful attach rates.

Both companies did an amazing job and let's hope the momentum continues into next week. The numbers above show the importance of AAA exclusive titles. Starwars. Xenoblade, and Kid Icarus have done well enough as exclusives to drive that point home. Filling the top 3 positions with purified exclusive greatness. Have a good day and happy gaming.

Rated E For Everyone

nice couple of disagrees you've earned yourself. Most satisfyingly of all is when you also recieve an ignore to go with that. You can sense the anger almost

MS are in a very good position it seems

Well Kinect Star Wars is selling good and surprisingly it seems to be a bit of a system seller. Looks like people went and bought that new Star Wars themed console to go with the game.

I'll say it before and I'll say it again, Kinect Star Wars is fun, its like a summer action movie, it wont win awards but its still fun.

Most the people who dog it here have never touched a Kinect or the game. Funny how that works.

Anyway, I think people might be a bit jealous because the game is selling so good. Let people like what they want, I mean Raccoon City was panned by critics, but if you listen to the people who actually played it, they like and enjoy the game.

Let people enjoy what they want without being slammed for it.

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.

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.

darthv7212h 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

anast13h 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood13h ago

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

VenomUK10h ago

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

I would’ve focused on the creative.

gold_drake9h ago

you dont send death threats, period.
