Looks like Microsoft have a good chance of beating Sony this year for the first time in 4 years!

(Cause of Halo... of course)

etowntwo4251d ago

The 360 outsold the PS3 last year too.

MS Dominating, its not even about it being close, its about MS being written off from the get go and look at them now.

This all from a company and system people said never had a chance of competing with SONY, sound familiar?

Go back to 1995 when people wrote SONY off as never going to compete with SEGA or NINTENDO, they wrong then as well.

This board spends to much time talking about sales in this region or that region and its about is the system stable, profitable and healthy...Xbox and SONY doing just fine.

Now Nintendo...lets not go there.

Freakazoid20124251d ago

Yeah having the best selling console this gen must have been hard on them. That or their current portable at almost 20 million and not even out a year yet.

Sony is living off of scraps and is bleeding money but they are doing just fine however the market leader is in trouble because their sales are too good... fanboy logic.

BTW MS is only 2 million ahead of Sony and 30 million behind the Wii. Nobody would call that "domination" except someone who doesnt understand what domination means.

Pro Tip: Dominating is not done from second place

sales dosnt mean incomes.....ps3 is jsut some millions of console behind the x360 but sony start to take money from the consol just this year..while MS is enjoyining money from 5 years ors omething like this......plus u need to add the kinect sales...(that sold like CRAZY)...

theres nothign that sony did right this gen with their hw..starting from tvs....passing trought home console...ending to the handheld.....Sony is losing money and market...in every segment they touch......and if u dont see it...well...ppl like u dont help sony

sorry for my english

KwietStorm_BLM4251d ago

Serious question, dominating what?

adorie4251d ago

vishant101, can you provide the math to back that up?

adorie4251d ago

how many billions have they spent to get to this point?

That's a legitimate question.

vishant1014251d ago (Edited 4251d ago )

a small fraction of what they stand to make from xbox live.

CPTN MITCHELL4251d ago

Less than 2 millions not bad Sony, a system that every gaming outlet said it will fail because of The starting price point...best $1000 I have spend in my life that's with everything else games,HDMI,controllers,

AngelicIceDiamond4251d ago

Didn't Sony admit they were in third place? "I'm just saying from that Kotaku interview.

If that saying anything at all from Kotaku.

nevin14251d ago

Wait it says sony went from a 24.8% marketshare in 2009 all the way up to a 44.0% in 2012.

It also says PSP sold 94,931,111. Is that true?

Captain Tuttle4250d ago (Edited 4250d ago )

It's nonsense. Typical VGChartz. It also says that the PSP has 55.6% Market Share as opposed to the DS which "only" has 44.4%.
Edit: That's apparently 2012 only. Who knows. My point below still stands.

I thought that they may have gotten better but apparently not. Site is a joke.

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.

TheColbertinator24m ago

I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
