Awkward the only increase was the Wii
??

Patriots_Pride4282d ago

Its VCHartz - this numbers are based on guesstimates.

Some random dude pulls these numbers out of his arse.

Samus HD4282d ago

Stop it already... we are not living in the past you know\!

miyamoto4281d ago

yeah who ever approves of these crap from vgchartz...?

samson-14282d ago

xbox may just catch the wii sales in the U.S. Can't believe the vita isn't selling that well.

JBSleek4282d ago

It isn't hard to believe when the only competition to the Vita is $80 cheaper.

DivineAssault 4282d ago

That & the demographics are very different.. Vita is tailored for more teens & adults.. I cant see many parents buying a kid a vita so it gets destroyed & $300 down the toilet..

rpd1234282d ago

That and the fact that Sony has literally no ad campaign for the Vita. My friends had never even heard of it until I got one and showed it to them (one of them is getting a Vita now because of it). If they let people know it was out there, there'd be more interest.

Machioto4282d ago (Edited 4282d ago )

@rpd Where are you and friends living?mars,seriously though,I've seen commercial,i'm assuming you live in Europe if not then I don't how you have not seen one yet.

rpd1234282d ago

@Machioto

Nope I live in America. I've seen ads, but I have to actively seek them out. It's not like I'm watching TV and then there's a Vita commercial like there is for the 360 or PS3.

Hicken4282d ago

The Vita's competition is pretty much every other handheld; not just the 3DS, but the DS and PSP, as well.

And some crazy people want to put it in contention with smartphones and tablets, too.

The Vita's fighting against ignorance and misinformation more than against any competing product. And incorrect knowledge is a much harder adversary to defeat.

whats going on with the wii? its sold out online & the sales have a slight increase... I just sold one of mine yesterday.. Got a damn good deal on it too

MySwordIsHeavenly4282d ago

Nobody has ANY idea why the Wii is starting to sell again. Seriously. I can't find anyone who can explain it.

ZoyosJD4282d ago

Nintendo's master plan of not giving the WiiU a release date is working...JK...IDK, but it is a posibility.

yabhero4282d ago

FYI:
The 3DS overlap a lot in the 13-21 demographics... People think its just kids unde 10 who get a 3DS and people over 20 get a vita but in truth they are kinda selling to a lot of the same people

AWBrawler4282d ago

True I know people who always thought hanhelds weren't for them, adults mind you, but now they all own a 3DS and games like Resident Evil and DOA

Xperia_ion4282d ago

Sony is horrible at advertising, show some hot girls playing it, anything!!! WTF Sony : /

Siren304282d ago

Yeah its the lack of advertising instead of no games and $250 price tag and having to buy expensive memory cards seperate that is causing the vita to have poor sales

Xperia_ion4282d ago

Sarcasm is like a second language to me.

DarkHeroZX4281d ago

Well I disagree on the no games part. And you can get their memory cards far cheaper online. But advertising the vita is a most.

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."

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

ZeekQuattro4h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B2h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21832h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh1h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia1h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins1h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal1h ago

The first game was the best imo.

jznrpg22h ago

How long until they get sued and it gets taken down? I say a month or 2

PRIMORDUS21h ago

Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣

NotoriousWhiz19h ago

As long as it isn't emulating the Switch, it'll be fine.

RonnySins19h ago

Naaah! Don't want to waste time emulating on iPhone.

Knightofelemia18h ago

Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
