Go Halo!

Well deserved. One of the best games of this generation. Maybe even all time.

quite a healthy boost for the 360. PS Vita is pretty much dead.

Sgt_Slaughter4169d ago

You had me... until you mentioned the Vita.

justlikeme4169d ago

Odd. I thought sony just hit the 70 milion ps3 sold yet they have it at 68,313,471.

hakis864169d ago

Seems like VGChartzzz is delaying the PS3 result for some reason... or they just trust their own "calculations" above official numbers?

DiRtY4169d ago

VGC estimates consoles in consumer hands.
Sony reported 70 million shipped.

So there are 1.68 million PS3s in stores / warehouses all over the world. That is a reasonable number considering we are entering the craziest time of the year. There is a chance that there will be close to 1 million PS3s sold in one week this time next month. So 1.7 million consoles in stores all over the world is not that much, when you think about it.

For example MS reported more than 70 million consoles shipped end of september. 6 weeks later VGC has it at
70 million.

I could guarantee that the PS3 is selling, at least where I'm at. super slim sold out, 320 gb charcoal black sold out... only stocks left are 160 giggers and scarlet red versions.

VG don't track a lot of online retailers.

Well, 4-Infinite dropped the ball massively so don't worry.

Sgt_Slaughter57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.

FinalFantasyFanatic57d ago

I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.

To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.

Dead IP, time to invent something new.

kaos8958d ago

Maybe they can have ID or one of the COD studios help 343 with this series.

Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
